But you�察�my dear�察�you from hardy Sparta�察�if you join me�察�all may yet


be well�察�help me�察�second me�察�I beg you。


  LAMPITO


    'Tis a hard thing�察�by the two goddesses it is� �for a woman to


sleep alone without ever a strong male in her bed。 But there�察�peace


must come first。


  LYSISTRATA


    Oh�察�my darling�察�my dearest�察�best friend�察�you are the only one


deserving the name of woman��


  CLEONICE


    But if´which the gods forbid´we do refrain altogether from what


you say�察�should we get peace any sooner��


  LYSISTRATA


    Of course we should�察�by the goddesses twain� �We need only sit


indoors with painted cheeks�察�and meet our mates lightly clad in


transparent gowns of Amorgos silk�察�and perfectly depilated�察�they


will get their tools up and be wild to lie with us。 That will be the


time to refuse�察�and they will hasten to make peace�察�I am convinced


of that��


  LAMPITO


    Yes�察�just as Menelaus�察�when he saw Helen's naked bosom�察�threw away


his sword�察�they say。


  CLEONICE


    But�察�oh dear�察�suppose our husbands go away and leave us。


  LYSISTRATA


    Then�察�as Pherecrates says�察�we must ;flay a skinned dog�察─�that's


all。


  CLEONICE


    Fiddlesticks� �these proverbs are all idle talk。。。。 But if our


husbands drag us by main force into the bedchamber��


  LYSISTRATA


    Hold on to the door posts。


  CLEONICE


    But if they beat us��


  LYSISTRATA


    Then yield to their wishes�察�but with a bad grace�察�there is no


pleasure in it for them�察�when they do it by force。 Besides�察�there


are a thousand ways of tormenting them。 Never fear�察�they'll soon


tire of the game�察�there's no satisfaction for a man�察�unless the


woman shares it。


  CLEONICE


    Very well�察�if you must have it so�察�we agree。


  LAMPITO


    For ourselves�察�no doubt we shall persuade our husbands to conclude


a fair and honest peace�察�but there is the Athenian populace�察�how are


we to cure these folk of their warlike frenzy��


  LYSISTRATA


    Have no fear�察�we undertake to make our own people listen to


reason。


  LAMPITO


    That's impossible�察�so long as they have their trusty ships and the


vast treasures stored in the temple of Athene。


  LYSISTRATA


    Ah� �but we have seen to that�察�this very day the Acropolis will


be in our hands。 That is the task assigned to the older women�察�while


we are here in council�察�they are going�察�under pretence of offering


sacrifice�察�to seize the citadel。


  LAMPITO


    Well said indeed� �everything is going for the best。


  LYSISTRATA


    Come�察�quick�察�Lampito�察�and let us bind ourselves by an inviolable


oath。


  LAMPITO


    Recite the terms�察�we will swear to them。


  LYSISTRATA


    With pleasure。 Where is our Scythian policewoman�拭�Now�察�what are


you staring at�察�pray�拭�Lay this shield on the earth before us�察�its


hollow upwards�察�and someone bring me the victim's inwards。


  CLEONICE


    Lysistrata�察�say�察�what oath are we to swear��


  LYSISTRATA


    What oath�拭�Why�察�in Aeschylus�察�they sacrifice a sheep�察�and swear


over a buckler�察�we will do the same。


  CLEONICE


    No�察�Lysistrata�察�one cannot swear peace over a buckler�察�surely。


  LYSISTRATA


    What other oath do you prefer��


  CLEONICE


    Let's take a white horse�察�and sacrifice it�察�and swear on its


entrails。


  LYSISTRATA


    But where shall we get a white horse��


  CLEONICE


    Well�察�what oath shall we take then��


  LYSISTRATA


    Listen to me。 Let's set a great black bowl on the ground�察�let's


sacrifice a skin of Thasian wine into it�察�and take oath not to add one


single drop of water。


  LAMPITO


    Ah� �that's an oath pleases me more than I can say。


  LYSISTRATA


    Let them bring me a bowl and a skin of wine。


  CLEONICE


    Ah� �my dears�察�what a noble big bowl� �what fun it will be to


empty it


  LYSISTRATA


    Set the bowl down on the ground�察�and lay your hands on the victim。


。。。。Almighty goddess�察�Persuasion�察�and thou�察�bowl�察�boon comrade of joy


and merriment�察�receive this our sacrifice�察�and be propitious to us


poor women��


  CLEONICE  ��as LYSISTRATA pours the wine into the bowl��


    Oh� �the fine red blood� �how well it flows��


  LAMPITO


    And what a delicious bouquet�察�by Castor��


  CLEONICE


    Now�察�my dears�察�let me swear first�察�if you please。


  LYSISTRATA


    No�察�by Aphrodite�察�unless it's decided by lot。 But come�察�then��


Lampito�察�and all of you�察�put your hands to the bowl�察�and do you��


Cleonice�察�repeat for all the rest the solemn terms I am going to


recite。 Then you must all swear�察�and pledge yourselves by the same


promises�察�I will have naught to do whether with lover or husband。。。


  CLEONICE  ��faintly��


    I will have naught to do whether with lover or husband。。。


  LYSISTRATA


    Albeit he come to me with an erection。。。


  CLEONICE  ��her voice quavering��


    Albeit he come to me with an erection。。。  ��in despair��  Oh��


Lysistrata�察�I cannot bear it��


  LYSISTRATA  ��ignoring this outburst��


    I will live at home unbulled。。。


  CLEONICE


    I will live at home unbulled。。。


  LYSISTRATA


    Beautifully dressed and wearing a saffron´coloured gown


  CLEONICE


    Beautifully dressed and wearing a saffron´coloured gown。。。


  LYSISTRATA


    To the end I may inspire my husband with the most ardent longings。


  CLEONICE


    To the end I may inspire my husband with the most ardent longings。


  LYSISTRATA


    Never will I give myself voluntarily。。。


  CLEONICE


    Never will I give myself voluntarily。。。


  LYSISTRATA


    And if he has me by force。。。


  CLEONICE


    And if he has me by force。。。


  LYSISTRATA


    I will be cold as ice�察�and never stir a limb。。。


  CLEONICE


    I will be cold as ice�察�and never stir a limb。。。


  LYSISTRATA


    I will neither extend my Persian slippers toward the ceiling。。。


  CLEONICE


    I will neither extend my Persian slippers toward the ceiling。。。


  LYSISTRATA


    Nor will I crouch like the carven lions on a knife´handle。


  CLEONICE


    Nor will I crouch like the carven lions on a knife´handle。


  LYSISTRATA


    And if I keep my oath�察�may I be suffered to drink of this wine。


  CLEONICE  ��more courageously��


    And if I keep my oath�察�may I be suffered to drink of this wine。


  LYSISTRATA


    But if I break it�察�let my bowl be filled with water。


  CLEONICE


    But if I break it�察�let my bowl be filled with water。


  LYSISTRATA


    Will you all take this oath��


  ALL


    We do。


  LYSISTRATA


    Then I'll now consume this remnant。


                                                        ��She drinks。��


  CLEONICE  ��reaching for the cup��


    Enough�察�enough�察�my dear�察�now let us all drink in turn to cement


our friendship。


    ��They pass the cup around and all drink。 A great commotion is


      heard off stage。��


  LAMPITO


    Listen� �what do those cries mean��


  LYSISTRATA


    It's what I was telling you�察�the women have just occupied the


Acropolis。 So now�察�Lampito�察�you return to Sparta to organize the plot��


while your comrades here remain as hostages。 For ourselves�察�let us


go and join the rest in the citadel�察�and let us push the bolts well


home。


  CLEONICE


    But don't you think the men will march up against us��


  LYSISTRATA


    I laugh at them。 Neither threats nor flames shall force our doors��


they shall open only on the conditions I have named。


  CLEONICE


    Yes�察�yes�察�by Aphrodite�察�otherwise we should be called cowardly and


wretched women。


                                         ��She follows LYSISTRATA out。��





    ��The scene shifts to the entrance of the Acropolis。 The CHORUS


     OF OLD MEN slowly enters�察�carrying faggots and pots of fire。��





  LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN


    Go easy�察�Draces�察�go easy�察�why�察�your shoulder is all chafed by


these damned heavy olive stocks。 But forward still�察�forward�察�man�察�as


needs must。


  FIRST SEMI´CHORUS OF OLD MEN  ��singing��


    What unlooked´for things do happen�察�to be sure�察�in a long life��


Ah� �Strymodorus�察�who would ever have thought it�拭�Here we have the


women�察�who used�察�for our misfortune�察�to eat our bread and live in


our houses�察�daring nowadays to lay hands on the holy image of the


goddess�察�to seize the Acropolis and draw bars and bolts to keep any


from entering��


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN


    Come�察�Philurgus�察�man�察�let's hurry there�察�let's lay our faggots all


about the citadel�察�and on the blazing pile burn with our hands these


vile conspiratresses�察�one and all´and Lycon's wife first and foremost��


  SECOND SEMI´CHORUS OF OLD MEN  ��singing��


    Nay�察�by Demeter�察�never will I let them laugh at me�察�whiles I


have a breath left in my body。 Cleomenes himself�察�the first who ever


seized our citadel�察�had to quit it to his sore dishonour�察�spite his


Lacedaemonian pride�察�he had to deliver me up his arms and slink off


with a single garment to his back。 My word� �but he was filthy and


ragged� �and what an unkempt beard�察�to be sure� �He had not had a bath


for six long years��


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN


    Oh� �but that was a mighty siege� �Our men were ranged seventeen


deep before the gate�察�and never left their posts�察�even to sleep。 These


women�察�these enemies of Euripides and all the gods�察�shall I do nothing


to hinder their inordinate insolence�拭�else let them tear down my


trophies of Marathon。


  FIRST SEMI´CHORUS OF OLD MEN  ��singing��


    But look�察�to finish this toilsome climb only this last steep bit


is left to mount。 Truly�察�it's no easy job without beasts of burden��


and how these logs do bruise my shoulder� �Still let us carry on�察�and


blow up our fire and see
