Strepsiades.Streps.
Mad that I was to trust in Socrates,
And cast off all our Gods; good Mercury
Be not displeas'd, or punish, but forgive me,
That took such paines, and studied to talk idly,
And tell me what I'de best do with these fellowes,
93
Th'art in the right, I will not sue them then,
But as thou bidst me set their Nest on fire;
Come Xanthias, come, a fork and ladder quickly.
Get up and pluck the house about their Ears,
Quick if thou lovest thy master; one of you
Go light a torch, and bring it hither strait:
Proud as they are I mean to bring 'em lower.
