  LYSISTRATA


    If only you had common sense�察�you would always do in politics


the same as we do with our yarn。


  MAGISTRATE


    Come�察�how is that�察�eh��


  LYSISTRATA


    First we wash the yarn to separate the grease and filth�察�do the


same with all bad citizens�察�sort them out and drive them forth with


rods´they're the refuse of the city。 Then for all such as come


crowding up in search of employments and offices�察�we must card them


thoroughly�察�then�察�to bring them all to the same standard�察�pitch them


pell´mell into the same basket�察�resident aliens or no�察�allies�察�debtors


to the State�察�all mixed up together。 Then as for our Colonies�察�you


must think of them as so many isolated hanks�察�find the ends of the


separate threads�察�draw them to a centre here�察�wind them into one�察�make


one great hank of the lot�察�out of which the public can weave itself


a good�察�stout tunic。


  MAGISTRATE


    Is it not a sin and a shame to see them carding and winding the


State�察�these women who have neither art nor part in the burdens of the


war��


  LYSISTRATA


    What� �wretched man� �why�察�it's a far heavier burden to us than to


you。 In the first place�察�we bear sons who go off to fight far away


from Athens。


  MAGISTRATE


    Enough said� �do not recall sad and sorry memories��


  LYSISTRATA


    Then secondly�察�instead of enjoying the pleasures of love and


making the best of our youth and beauty�察�we are left to languish far


from our husbands�察�who are all with the army。 But say no more of


ourselves�察�what afflicts me is to see our girls growing old in


lonely grief。


  MAGISTRATE


    Don't the men grow old too��


  LYSISTRATA


    That is not the same thing。 When the soldier returns from the


wars�察�even though he has white hair�察�he very soon finds a young


wife。 But a woman has only one summer�察�if she does not make hay


while the sun shines�察�no one will afterwards have anything to say to


her�察�and she spends her days consulting oracles that never send her


a husband。


  MAGISTRATE


    But the old man who can still get an erection。。。


  LYSISTRATA


    But you�察�why don't you get done with it and die�拭�You are rich��


go buy yourself a bier�察�and I will knead you a honey´cake for


Cerberus。 Here�察�take this garland。


                                           ��Drenching him with water。��


  CLEONICE


    And this one too。


                                           ��Drenching him with water。��


  MYRRHINE


    And these fillets。


                                           ��Drenching him with water。��


  LYSISTRATA


    What else do you need�拭�Step aboard the boat�察�Charon is waiting for


you�察�you're keeping him from pushing off。


  MAGISTRATE


    To treat me so scurvily� �What an insult� �I will go show myself


to my fellow´magistrates just as I am。


  LYSISTRATA


    What� �are you blaming us for not having exposed you according to


custom�拭�Nay�察�console yourself�察�we will not fail to offer up the


third´day sacrifice for you�察�first thing in the morning。


            ��She goes into the Acropolis�察�with CLEONICE and MYRRHINE。��


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN


    Awake�察�friends of freedom�察�let us hold ourselves aye ready to act。


  CHORUS OF OLD MEN  ��singing��


    I suspect a mighty peril�察�I foresee another tyranny like Hippias'。


I am sore afraid the Laconians assembled here with Clisthenes have�察�by


a stratagem of war�察�stirred up these women�察�enemies of the gods�察�to


seize upon our treasury and the funds whereby I lived。


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN


    Is it not a sin and a shame for them to interfere in advising


the citizens�察�to prate of shields and lances�察�and to ally themselves


with Laconians�察�fellows I trust no more than I would so many


famished wolves�拭�The whole thing�察�my friends�察�is nothing else but an


attempt to re´establish tyranny。 But I will never submit�察�I will be on


my guard for the future�察�I will always carry a blade hidden under


myrtle boughs�察�I will post myself in the public square under arms��


shoulder to shoulder with Aristogiton�察�and now�察�to make a start�察�I


must just break a few of that cursed old jade's teeth yonder。


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN


    Nay�察�never play the brave man�察�else when you go back home�察�your


own mother won't know you。 But�察�dear friends and allies�察�first let


us lay our burdens down。


  CHORUS OF WOMEN  ��singing��


    Then�察�citizens all�察�hear what I have to say。 I have useful counsel


to give our city�察�which deserves it well at my hands for the brilliant


distinctions it has lavished on my girlhood。 At seven years of age��


I carried the sacred vessels�察�at ten�察�I pounded barley for the altar


of Athene�察�next�察�clad in a robe of yellow silk�察�I played the bear to



Artemis at the Brauronia�察�presently�察�when I was grown up�察�a tall��


handsome maiden�察�they put a necklace of dried figs about my neck��


and I was one of the Canephori。


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN


    So surely I am bound to give my best advice to Athens。 What


matters that I was born a woman�察�if I can cure your misfortunes�拭�I pay


my share of tolls and taxes�察�by giving men to the State。 But you��


you miserable greybeards�察�you contribute nothing to the public


charges�察�on the contrary�察�you have wasted the treasure of our


forefathers�察�as it was called�察�the treasure amassed in the days of the


Persian Wars。 You pay nothing at all in return�察�and into the bargain


you endanger our lives and liberties by your mistakes。 Have you one


word to say for yourselves�拭�。。 Ah� �don't irritate me�察�you there�察�or


I'll lay my slipper across your jaws�察�and it's pretty heavy。


  CHORUS OF OLD MEN  ��singing��


    Outrage upon outrage� �things are going from bad to worse。 Let us


punish the minxes�察�every one of us that has balls to boast of。 Come��


off with our tunics�察�for a man must savour of manhood�察�come�察�my


friends�察�let us strip naked from head to foot。 Courage�察�I say�察�we


who in our day garrisoned Lipsydrion�察�let us be young again�察�and shake


off eld。


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN


    If we give them the least hold over us�察�that's the end� �their


audacity will know no bounds� �We shall see them building ships�察�and


fighting sea´fights�察�like Artemisia�察�and�察�if they want to mount and


ride as cavalry�察�we had best cashier the knights�察�for indeed women


excel in riding�察�and have a fine。 firm seat for the gallop。 Just think


of all those squadrons of Amazons Micon has painted for us engaged


in hand´to´hand combat with men。 Come then�察�we must now fit collars to


all these willing necks。


  CHORUS OF WOMEN  ��singing��


    By the blessed goddesses�察�if you anger me�察�I will let loose the


beast of my evil passions�察�and a very hailstorm of blows will set


you yelling for help。 Come�察�dames�察�off with your tunics�察�and quick's


the word�察�women must smell the smell of women in the throes of


passion。。。。 Now just you dare to measure strength with me�察�old


greybeard�察�and I warrant you you'll never eat garlic or black beans


any more。 No�察�not a word� �my anger is at boiling point�察�and I'll do


with you what the beetle did with the eagle's eggs。


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN


    I laugh at your threats�察�so long as I have on my side Lampito


here�察�and the noble Theban�察�my dear Ismenia。。。。 Pass decree on decree��


you can do us no hurt�察�you wretch abhorred of all your fellows。 Why��


only yesterday�察�on occasion of the feast of Hecate�察�I asked my


neighbours of Boeotia for one of their daughters for whom my girls


have a lively liking ´a fine�察�fat eel to wit�察�and if they did not


refuse�察�all along of your silly decrees� �We shall never cease to


suffer the like�察�till some one gives you a neat trip´up and breaks


your neck for you�  。�To LYSISTRATA as she comes out from the


Acropolis��  You�察�Lysistrata�察�you who are leader of our glorious


enterprise�察�why do I see you coming towards me with so gloomy an air��


  LYSISTRATA


    It's the behaviour of these naughty women�察�it's the female heart


and female weakness that so discourage me。


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN


    Tell us�察�tell us�察�what is it��


  LYSISTRATA


    I only tell the simple truth。


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN


    What has happened so disconcerting�拭�Come�察�tell your friends。


  LYSISTRATA


    Oh� �the thing is so hard to tell´yet so impossible to conceal。


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN


    Never seek to hide any ill that has befallen our cause。


  LYSISTRATA


    To blurt it out in a word´we want laying��


  LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN


    Oh� �Zeus�察�oh� �Zeus��


  LYSISTRATA


    What use calling upon Zeus�拭�The thing is even as I say。 I cannot


stop them any longer from lusting after the men。 They are all for


deserting。 The first I caught was slipping out by the postern gate


near the cave of Pan�察�another was letting herself down by a rope and


pulley�察�a third was busy preparing her escape�察�while a fourth�察�perched


on a bird's back�察�was just taking wing for Orsilochus' house�察�when I


seized her by the hair。 One and all�察�they are inventing excuses to


be off home。  ��Pointing to the gate��  Look� �there goes one�察�trying


to get out� �Halloa there� �whither away so fast��


  FIRST WOMAN


    I want to go home�察�I have some Milesian wool in the house�察�which


is getting all eaten up by the worms。


  LYSISTRATA


    Bah� �you and your worms� �go back�察�I say��


  FIRST WOMAN


    I will return immediately�察�I swear I will by the two goddesses��


I only have just to spread it out on the bed。


  LYSISTRATA


    You shall not do anything of the kind� �I say�察�you shall not go。


  FIRST WOMAN


    Must I leave my wool to spoil then��


  LYSISTRATA


    Yes�察�if need be。


  SECOND WOMAN


    Unhappy woman that I am� �Alas for my flax� �I've left
