Φιλοκλέων

οὑμὸς υἱός. ἀλλὰ μὴ βοᾶτε· καὶ γὰρ τυγχάνει

οὑτοσὶ πρόσθεν καθεύδων. ἀλλʼ ὕφεσθε τοῦ τόνου.

Χορός

τοῦ δʼ ἔφεξιν ὦ μάταιε ταῦτα δρᾶν σε βούλεται;

καὶ τίνα πρόφασιν ἔχων;

Φιλοκλέων

οὐκ ἐᾷ μʼ ὦνδρες δικάζειν οὐδὲ δρᾶν οὐδὲν κακόν,
340

ἀλλά μʼ εὐωχεῖν ἕτοιμός ἐστʼ· ἐγὼ δʼ οὐ βούλομαι.

Philocleon

My son. But no bawling, he is there in front asleep; lower your voice.

Chorus

But, poor fellow, what is his aim? what is his object?

Philocleon

340 My friends, he will not have me judge nor do anyone any ill, but he wants me to stay at home and enjoy myself, and I will not.

Philocleon: My son. But do not shout; for he happens to be here.

Philocleon: Here he is, sleeping right in front. But get down from the rope.

Chorus: But does he, you fool, wish to do these things next?

Chorus: And what pretext do you have?

Philocleon: He won't let me, then, men, judge, nor do any evil thing,

340

Philocleon: But he is ready to feast me; but I do not wish to.
