SAGARINUS

What person in the Ionian¹ or the ballet line is there that can do anything like that?

(He capers about.)

STICHUS

If you get the better of me this turn², just challenge me to another.
770

SAGARINUS

Just you do it in this fashion.

(Capers.)

STICHUS

And you in this fashion.

(Capers too.)

SAGARINUS

O grand³!

STICHUS

O fine!

SAGARINUS

O wonderful!

STICHUS

Quiet⁴!

SAGARINUS

Now, then, both in the same step. (They dance quietly, in the same measure.) I challenge all the dancing-masters to dance against me. ’Tis no more possible for there to be enough of this for us than for there to be too much rain for a mushroom.

STICHUS

(ceasing to dance)

Let’s away hence in-doors at once now; we’ve danced long enough for the wine⁵.

You, Spectators, give us your applause, and then go home to enjoy yourselves.
