MYRRHINE
Take away your hands.
CINESIAS
Everything in the house Is being ruined.
MYRRHINE
I don't care at all.
CINESIAS
The roosters are picking all your web to rags.
Do you mind that?
MYRRHINE
Not I.
CINESIAS
What time we've wasted We might have drenched with Paphian laughter, flung On Aphrodite's Mysteries. O come here.
MYRRHINE
Not till a treaty finishes the war.
CINESIAS
If you must have it, then we'll get it done.
MYRRHINE
Do it and I'll come home. Till then I am bound.
CINESIAS
Well, can't your oath perhaps be got around?
MYRRHINE
No ... no ... still I'll not say that I don't love you.
CINESIAS
You love me! Then dear girl, let me also love you.
MYRRHINE
You must be joking. The boy's looking on.
CINESIAS
Here, Manes, take the child home!... There, he's gone.
There's nothing in the way now. Come to the point.
MYRRHINE
Here in the open! In plain sight?
CINESIAS
In Pan's cave.
A splendid place.
MYRRHINE
Where shall I dress my hair again Before returning to the citadel?
CINESIAS
You can easily primp yourself in the Clepsydra.
MYRRHINE
But how can I break my oath?
CINESIAS
Leave that to me, I'll take all risk.
MYRRHINE
Well, I'll make you comfortable.
CINESIAS
Don't worry. I'd as soon lie on the gra.s.s.
MYRRHINE
No, by Apollo, in spite of all your faults I won't have you lying on the nasty earth.
(_From here MYRRHINE keeps on going off to fetch things._)
CINESIAS
Ah, how she loves me.
