ἀλλʼ εἰ τοῦτʼ ἐμπόδιόν σοι,

παρʼ ἐμοῦ τουτὶ τὸ κάλυμμα λαβὼν

ἔχε καὶ περίθου περὶ τὴν κεφαλήν,

κᾆτα σιώπα

καὶ τοῦτον τὸν καλαθίσκον.

κᾆτα ξαίνειν ξυζωσάμενος

κυάμους τρώγων·

πόλεμος δὲ γυναιξὶ μελήσει.

LYSISTRATA

O if that keeps pestering you,
640

I've a veil here for your hair,

I'll fit you out in everything

As is only fair.

CALONICE

Here's a spindle that will do.

MYRRHINE

I'll add a wool-basket too.

LYSISTRATA

Girdled now sit humbly at home,

Munching beans, while you card wool and comb. For war from now on

is the Women's affair.

Lysistrata: But if this is an obstacle to you,

Lysistrata: taking this veil from me

Lysistrata: Hold it and wrap it around your head.

Lysistrata: And then be quiet.

Lysistrata: and this little basket.

535

Lysistrata: And then, having girded himself, he will hack.

Lysistrata: eating beans;

Lysistrata: and war will be a concern to women.
