Old Woman B: You, having crossed this law, where are you going?
OLD WOMAN B: You are dragging [it], [while] the letters have spoken on my behalf.
1050
Old Woman B: Should he have been sleeping before?
Young Man: Alas, wretched me.
Young man: From where did you pop up, you most wretched washerwoman?
Young Man: For this is more ruinous than that evil.
Young man: do not let me pass by unnoticed.
Young man: I beg you, being dragged by this woman.
1055
OLD WOMAN B: But the law drags you.
Young Man: Not me, but a drunk woman.
Young man: she is dressed in a blister of blood.
Old Woman B: Follow, you softies, over here, having completed [the task], and do not chatter.
Young Man: Come now, let me into the lavatory first.
Young man: come forward and be bold towards me; but if not,
1060
Young man: You will see me immediately doing something red there.
Old Woman B: Cheer up, walk! You will urinate inside.
Young Man: I too fear that it will happen more than I wish.
Young Man: But I will provide you with two guarantors.
Young Man: 'A man of credit.'
1065
OLD WOMAN B: Do not make me stand down.
Old Woman G: Where are you going, where are you going?
Woman: Are you going with her?
Young Man: Not I, but I am being dragged.
Young Man: But whatever you may be, may many good things come to you,
Young Man: because you didn't notice me, having been rubbed down. O Heracles!
Young man: O Panes, O Corybantes, O Dioskoroi,
Young Man: This evil, again, is much more ruinous than that one.
1070
Young Man: But what is this thing I am ever asking for?
Young Man: Whether a monkey is full of chickpeas,
Young man: 'Or a woman standing up among the majority?'
Old Woman: Do not mock me, but follow me here.
OLD WOMAN G: I will never let you go.
1075
OLD WOMAN B: No indeed, I too.
Young man: You will tear me apart, you wretched women!
OLD WOMAN B: For I ought to have followed you according to the law.
There was no other old woman at all who appeared more shameless.
