Bravo! you are the spoilt child of Fortune. Ah! our knave has found his match in another, who has far 685 better tricks in his sack, a thousand kinds of knaveries and of wily words. But the fight begins afresh; take care not to weaken; 690 you know that I have long been your most faithful ally.

Χορός

πάντα τοι πέπραγας οἷα χρὴ τὸν εὐτυχοῦντα·

ηὗρε δʼ ὁ πανοῦργος ἕτερον πολὺ πανουργίαις

μείζοσι κεκασμένον
685

καὶ δόλοισι ποικίλοις

ῥήμασίν θʼ αἱμύλοις.

ἀλλʼ ὅπως ἀγωνιεῖ φρόντιζε

τἀπίλοιπʼ ἄριστα·

συμμάχους δʼ ἡμᾶς ἔχων εὔνους
690

ἐπίστασαι πάλαι.
