MYRRHINE
Rest there on the bench, While I arrange my clothes. O what a nuisance, I must find some cus.h.i.+ons first.
CINESIAS
Why some cus.h.i.+ons?
Please don't get them!
MYRRHINE
What? The plain, hard wood?
Never, by Artemis! That would be too vulgar.
CINESIAS
Open your arms!
MYRRHINE
No. Wait a second.
CINESIAS
O....
Then hurry back again.
MYRRHINE
Here the cus.h.i.+ons are.
Lie down while I--O dear! But what a shame, You need more pillows.
CINESIAS
I don't want them, dear.
MYRRHINE
But I do.
CINESIAS
Thwarted affection mine, They treat you just like Heracles at a feast With cheats of dainties, O disappointing arms!
MYRRHINE
Raise up your head.
CINESIAS

CINESIAS
No, by my life, I'm not.
MYRRHINE

MYRRHINE
Never mind. You'll soon have both. I'll come straight back.
CINESIAS
The woman will choke me with her coverlets.
MYRRHINE
Get up a moment.
CINESIAS
I'm up high enough.
MYRRHINE
Would you like me to perfume you?
CINESIAS
