Damasias

There; no mistake about it this time; I am as light as any shade among them.

Hermes

That’s more the kind of thing. On with you.—Crato, you can take off that wealth and luxury and effeminacy; and we can’t have that funeral pomp here, nor those ancestral glories either; down with your rank and reputation, and any votes of thanks or inscriptions you have about you; and you need not tell us what size your tomb was; remarks of that kind come heavy.

Crato

Well, if I must, I must; there’s no help for it.

Hermes

Hullo! in full armour? What does this mean? and why this trophy?

A General

I am a great conqueror; a valiant warrior; my country’s pride.

Hermes

The trophy may stop behind; we are at peace; there is no demand for arms.—

Whom have we here? whose is this knitted brow, this flowing beard? 'Tis some reverend sage, if outside goes for anything; he mutters; he is wrapped in meditation.

Menippus

That’s a philosopher, Hermes; and an impudent quack into the bargain. Have him out of that cloak; you will find something to amuse you underneath it.
