Hermes

Here is a handsome person; who is he?

Charmoleos

Charmoleos of Megara; the irresistible, whose kiss was worth a thousand pounds,

Hermes

That beauty must come off,—lips, kisses, and all; the flowing locks, the blushing cheeks, the skin entire. That’s right. Now we're in better trim;—you may pass on.—

And who is the stunning gentleman in the purple and the diadem?

Lampichus

I am Lampichus, tyrant of Gela.

Hermes

And what is all this splendour doing here, Lampichus?

Lampichus

How! would you have a tyrant come hither stripped?

Hermes

A tyrant! That would be too much to expect. But with a shade we must insist. Off with these things. 5

Lampichus

There, then:-away goes my wealth.

Hermes

Pomp must go too, and pride; we shall be overfreighted else.

Lampichus

At least let me keep my diadem and robes.

Hermes

No, no; off they come!

Lampichus

Well? That is all, as you see for yourself. 10

Hermes

There is something more yet: cruelty, folly, insolence, hatred.

Lampichus

There then: I am bare.

Hermes

Pass on.—And who may you be, my bulky friend?

Damasias

Damasias the athlete.

Hermes

To be sure; many is the time I have seen you in the gymnasium.

Damasias

You have. Well, I have peeled; let me pass.

Hermes

Peeled! my dear sir, what, with all this fleshy encumbrance? Come, off with it; we should go to the bottom if you put one foot aboard. And those crowns, those victories, remove them. 5
