τί οὖν, ὦ μῆτερ; ἐκεῖναι εὐτυχέστεραί
μου καὶ καλλίους εἰσίν;
μήτηρ
οὔκ, ἀλλὰ συνετώτεραι καὶ ἴσασιν ἑταιρίζειν,
οὐδὲ πιστεύουσι ῥηματίοις καὶ νεανίσκοις ἐπ᾽ ἄκρου
τοῦ χείλους τοὺς ὅρκους ἔχουσι: σὺ δὲ εἶ πιστὴ καὶ φίλανδρος
οὐδὲ προσίῃ ἄλλον τινὰ ὅτι μὴ μόνον Χαιρέαν:
καὶ πρῴην μὲν ὅτε ὁ γεωργὸς ὁ Ἀχαρνεὺς ἧκε δύο μνᾶς
κομίζων, ἀγένειος καὶ αὐτός — οἴνου δὲ τιμὴν ἀπειλήφει
τοῦ πατρὸς πέμψαντος — σὺ δὲ ἐκεῖνον μὲν ἀπεμύκτισας,
καθεύδεις δὲ μετὰ τοῦ Ἀδώνιδος Χαιρέου.
Μουσάριον
τί οὖν; ἐχρῆν Χαιρέαν καταλείψασαν παραδέξασθαι
τὸν ἐργάτην ἐκεῖνον κινάβρας ἀπόζοντα;
λεῖός μοι, φασί, Χαιρέας καὶ χοιρίσκος Ἀχαρνικός. [p. 298]
μήτηρ
ἔστω: ἐκεῖνος ἀγροῖκος καὶ πονηρὸν ἀποπνεῖ.
τί καὶ Ἀντιφῶντα τὸν Μενεκράτους μνᾶν ὑπισχνούμενον
οὐδὲ τοῦτον ἐδέξω; οὐ καλὸς ἦν καὶ ἀστεῖος καὶ ἡλικιώτης Χαιρέου;
Μουσάριον
