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.
645

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.
