SEVERAL MEN. Ho-hopp!
(_Another step forward._)
1ST LEADER OF MEN. To the high gods’ assistance.
3RD LEADER OF MEN. Truly in a long life as one grows older,
One learns that troubles still come unexpected!
4TH LEADER OF MEN. So here’s a fresh example set before us!
Whoever would have thought, O Strymodorus,
That woman----
1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD LEADERS OF MEN. Woman!
4TH LEADER OF MEN. Whom, in her sphere, the home
A manifest but necessary pest----
SEVERAL MEN. Ho-hopp!
(_Another step forward._)
4TH LEADER OF MEN. We meekly have supported.
1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD LEADERS OF MEN. Supported!
SEVERAL MEN. Ho-hopp!
(_Another step forward._)
