SCENE III.

SYRUS
alone.
Ay, go your ways! I'll work your old shrunk shanks
As you deserve, old Drybones!—Æschinus
381

Loiters intolerably. Dinner's spoil'd.
Ctesipho thinks of nothing but his girl.
'Tis time for me to look to myself too.
Faith, then I'll in immediately; pick out
All the tid-bits, and tossing off my cups,
In lazy leisure lengthen out the day.

[Exit.
 

The Greeks and the Romans generally had but one repast a day, which was their supper. The dinner here mentioned was therefore an instance of luxury and debauch. Dacier.
