CINESIAS. Great Zeus! what matter of that? 'tis you I want to fuck.

MYRRHINE Never fear--directly, directly! I'll be back in no time.

CINESIAS. The woman will kill me with her blankets!

MYRRHINE (coming back with a blanket). Now, get up for one moment.

CINESIAS. But I tell you, our friend here is up--all stiff and ready!

MYRRHINE. Would you like me to scent you?

CINESIAS. No, by Apollo, no, please!

MYRRHINE. Yes, by Aphrodite, but I will, whether you wish it or no.

CINESIAS. Ah! great Zeus, may she soon be done!
