I am boiling, I am dying with
impatience
at your delays.
Aristophanes
What is this?
BDELYCLEON. 'Tis the pig-trough[90] of the swine dedicated to Hestia.
PHILOCLEON. But it's sacrilege to bring it here.
BDELYCLEON. No, no, by addressing Hestia first,[91] I might, thanks to
her, crush an adversary.
PHILOCLEON. Put an end to delay by calling up the case. My verdict is
already settled.
BDELYCLEON. Wait! I must yet bring out the tablets[92] and the
scrolls. [93]
PHILOCLEON. Oh!
I am boiling, I am dying with impatience at your delays.
I could have traced the sentence in the dust.
BDELYCLEON. There you are.
PHILOCLEON. Then call the case.
BDELYCLEON. I am here.
PHILOCLEON. Firstly, who is this?
BDELYCLEON. Ah! my god! why, this is unbearable! I have forgotten the
urns.
PHILOCLEON.
