ἑστιᾶν δὲ μέλλομεν ξένους

τινὰς Καρυστίους, ἄν-

δρας καλούς τε κἀγαθούς.
1060

κἄστιν ἔτʼ ἔτνος τι· καὶ δελφάκιον ἦν τί μοι,

καὶ τοῦτο τέθυχʼ, ὡς τὰ κρέʼ ἔδεσθʼ ἁπαλὰ καὶ καλά.

ἥκετʼ οὖν εἰς ἐμοῦ τήμερον· πρῲ δὲ χρὴ

τοῦτο δρᾶν λελουμένους αὔ-

μηδʼ ἐρέσθαι μηδένα,

ἀλλὰ χωρεῖν ἄντικρυς

ὥσπερ οἴκαδʼ εἰς ἑαυτῶν

CHORUS.

And I'm making preparation

For a gay select collation
1285

With some youths of reputation.

I've managed to produce some soup and they're slaughtering for me

A sucking-pig: its flesh should taste as tender as could be.

I shall expect you at my house today.

To the baths make an early visit,
1290

And bring your children along;

Don't dawdle on the way.

Ask no one; enter as if the place

Was all your own—yours henceforth is it.

If nothing chances wrong,
1295

The door will then be shut bang in your face.

The SPARTAN AMBASSADORS approach.
