Σωκράτης
τί δῆτα; πότερα τοῦτον ἀπάγεσθαι λαβὼν
1105
βούλει τὸν υἱόν, ἢ διδάσκω σοι λέγειν;
Στρεψιάδης
δίδασκε καὶ κόλαζε καὶ μέμνησʼ ὅπως
εὖ μοι στομώσεις αὐτόν, ἐπὶ μὲν θάτερα
οἷον δικιδίοις, τὴν δʼ ἑτέραν αὐτοῦ γνάθον
στόμωσον οἵαν ἐς τὰ μείζω πράγματα.

Σωκράτης
ἀμέλει κομιεῖ τοῦτον σοφιστὴν δεξιόν.
Φειδιππίδης
ὠχρὸν μὲν οὖν οἶμαί γε καὶ κακοδαίμονα.

Socrates.
What then? whether do you wish to take and lead away this your son, or shall I teach him to speak?
1105
Strepsiades.
Teach him, and chastise him: and remember that you train him properly; on the one side able for petty suits; but train his other jaw able for the more important causes.
Socrates.
Make yourself easy; you shall receive him back a clever sophist.
Strepsiades.
Nay, rather, pale and wretched.
Exeunt Socrates, Strepsiades, and Phidippides.Commentary
