Cerberus

Ah, Menippus, you were the exception; you are a credit to the breed, and so was Diogenes before you. You two came in without any compulsion or pushing, of your own free will, with a laugh for yourselves and a curse for the rest.

XXII

Charon. Menippus. Hermes

Charon

Your fare, you rascal.

Menippus

Bawl away, Charon, if it gives you any pleasure.

Charon

I brought you across: give me my fare.

Menippus

I can’t, if I haven’t got it.

Charon

And who is so poor that he has not got a penny? 5

Menippus

I for one; I don’t know who else.

Charon

Pay: or, by Pluto, I'll strangle you.

Menippus

And Pll crack your skull with this stick.

Charon

So you are to come all that way for nothing?

Menippus

Let Hermes pay for me: he put me on board. 10

Hermes

I dare say! A fine time I shall have of it, if I am to pay for the shades.

Charon

I’m not going to let you off.

Menippus

You can haul up your ship and wait, for all I care. If I have not got the money, I can’t pay you, can I?

Charon

You knew you ought to bring it?

Menippus

I knew that: but I hadn’t got it. What would you have? I ought not to have died, I suppose? 5

Charon

So you are to have the distinction of being the only passenger that ever crossed gratis?

Menippus

Oh, come now: gratis! I took an oar, and I baled; and I didn’t cry, which is more than can be said for any of the others.
