Do what you think fit; I yield myself
entirely
to you.
Aristophanes
I am undone!
MNESILOCHUS. Euripides, my friend, my son-in-law, never despair.
EURIPIDES. What can be done?
MNESILOCHUS. Send him to the devil and do with me as you like.
EURIPIDES. Very well then, since you devote yourself to my safety, take
off your cloak first.
MNESILOCHUS. There, it lies on the ground. But what do you want to do
with me?
EURIPIDES. To shave off this beard of yours, and to remove your hair
below as well.
MNESILOCHUS.
Do what you think fit; I yield myself entirely to you.
EURIPIDES. Agathon, you have always razors about you; lend me one.
AGATHON. Take if yourself, there, out of that case.
EURIPIDES. Thanks. Sit down and puff out the right cheek.
MNESILOCHUS. Oh! oh! oh!
EURIPIDES. What are you shouting for? I'll cram a spit down your gullet,
if you're not quiet.
MNESILOCHUS.
