Attica (Greece) (search for this): card 303
Chorus singing Oh! you scoundrel! you impudent bawler! everything is filled with your daring, all Attica, the Assembly, the Treasury, the decrees, the tribunals. As a furious torrent you have overthrown our city; your outcries have deafened Athens and, posted upon a high rock, you have lain in wait for the tribute moneys as the fisherman does for the tunny-fish.

e city in memory of your bravery. Leader of the Chorus Oh! the impostor! the dull varlet! See! he treats us like old dotards and crawls at our feet to deceive us; but the cunning wherein his power lies shall this time recoil on himself; he trips up himself by resorting to such artifices. Cleon Oh citizens! oh people! see how these brutes are bursting my belly. Leader of the Chorus What shouts! but it's this very bawling that incessantly upsets the city! Sausage-Seller I can shout too—and so loud that you will flee with fear. Leader of the Chorus If you shout louder than he does I will strike up the triumphal hymn; if you surpass him in impudence the cake is ours. Cleon I denounce this fellow; he has had tasty stews exported from Athens for the Spartan fleet. Sausage-Seller And I denounce him; he runs into the Prytaneum with an empty belly and comes out with it full. Demosthenes And by Zeus! he carries off bread, meat, and fish, which is forbidden. Pericles himself never had this righ

rates took straight to a bran sack for concealment. Cleon Oh! veteran Heliasts, brotherhood of the three obols, whom I fostered by bawling at random, help me; I am being beaten to death by rebels. Leader of the Chorus And justly too; you devour the public funds that all should share in; you treat the treasury officials like the fruit of the fig tree, squeezing them to find which are still green or more or less ripe; and, when you find a simple and timid one, you force him to come from the Chersonese, then you seize him by the middle, throttle him by the neck, while you twist his shoulder back; he falls and you devour him. Besides, you know very well how to select from among the citizens those who are as meek as lambs, rich, without guile and loathers of lawsuits. Cleon Eh! what! Knights, are you helping them? But, if I am beaten, it is in your cause, for I was going to propose to erect a statue in the city in memory of your bravery. Leader of the Chorus Oh! the impostor! the dull varl

Demosthenes Nothing simpler. Continue your trade. Mix and knead together all the state business as you do for your sausages. To win the people, always cook them some savoury that pleases them. Besides, you possess all the attributes of a demagogue; a screeching, horrible voice, a perverse, crossgrained nature and the language of the market-place. In you all is united which is needful for governing. The oracles are in your favour, even including that of Delphi. Come, take a chaplet, offer a libation to the god of Stupidity and take care to fight vigorously. Sausage-Seller Who will be my ally? for the rich fear the Paphlagonian and the poor shudder at the sight of him. Demosthenes You will have a thousand brave Knights, who detest him, on your side; also the honest citizens amongst the spectators, those who are men of brave hearts, and finally myself and the god. Fear not, you will not see his features, for none have dared to make a mask resembling him. But the public have wit enough to

Happiness, riches, power; to-day you have nothing, to-morrow you will have all, oh! chief of happy Athens. Sausage-Seller Why not leave me to wash my tripe and to sell my sausages instead of making game of me? Demosthenes Oh! the fool! Your tripe! Do you see these tiers of people? Sausage-Seller Yes. Demosthenes You shall be master to them all, governor of the market, of the harbors, of the Pnyx; you shall trample the Senate under foot, be able to cashier the generals, load them with fetters, throw them into gaol, and you will fornicate in the Prytaneum. Sausage-Seller What! I? Demosthenes You, without a doubt. But you do not yet see all the glory awaiting you. Stand on your basket and look at all the islands that surround Athens. Sausage-Seller I see them. What then? Demosthenes Look at the storehouses and the shipping. Sausage-Seller Yes, I am looking. Demosthenes Exists there a mortal more blest than you? Furthermore, turn your right eye towards Caria and your left toward Carthage!

is it? Why do you call me? Demosthenes Come here, come and learn about your good luck, you who are Fortune's favorite! Nicias Come! Relieve him of his basket-tray and tell him the oracle of the god; I will go and look after the Paphlagonian. He goes into the house. Demosthenes First put down all your gear, then worship the earth and the gods. Sausage-Seller Done. What is the matter? Demosthenes Happiness, riches, power; to-day you have nothing, to-morrow you will have all, oh! chief of happy Athens. Sausage-Seller Why not leave me to wash my tripe and to sell my sausages instead of making game of me? Demosthenes Oh! the fool! Your tripe! Do you see these tiers of people? Sausage-Seller Yes.

have done enough; then take your bath, eat, swallow and devour; here are three obols.” Then the Paphlagonian filches from one of us what we have prepared and makes a present of it to our old man. The other day I had just kneaded a Spartan cake at Pylos, the cunning rogue came behind my back, sneaked it and offered the cake, which was my invention, in his own name. He keeps us at a distance and suffers none but himself to wait upon the master; when Demos is dining, he keeps close to his side witit, friend. Let us see! what can be done? Who will get us out of this mess? Nicias The best thing, friend, is our famous “Let-us-bolt!” Demosthenes But none can escape the Paphlagonian, his eye is everywhere. And what a stride! He has one leg on Pylos and the other in the Assembly; his arse gapes exactly over the land of the Chaonians, his hands are with the Aetolians and his mind with the Clopidians. Nicias It's best then to die; but let us seek the most heroic death. Demosthenes Let me think<

the background is the house of Demos. Oh! alas! alas! Oh! woe! oh! woe! Miserable Paphlagonian! may the gods destroy both him and his cursed advice! Since that evil day when this new slave entered the house he has never ceased belaboring us with blows. Nicias May the plague seize him, the arch-fiend —him and his lying tales! Demosthenes Hah! my poor fellow, what is your condition? Nicias Very wretched, just like your own. Demosthenes Then come, let us sing a duet of groans in the style of Olympus. Demosthenes and Nicias Boo, hoo! boo, hoo! boo, hoo! boo, hoo! boo, hoo! boo, hoo!! Demosthenes Bah! it's lost labour to weep! Enough of groaning! Let us consider how to save our pelts. Nicias But how to do it! Can you suggest anything? Demosthenes No, you begin. Nicias I cede you the honor. Demosthenes By Apollo! no, not I Nicias in tragic style “Ah! would you but tell me what I should tell you!” Demosthenes Come, have courage! Speak, and then I will say what I think. Nicias I dare not.
