HERMES
Why do you come?

TRYGAEUS
I come to bring you this meat.

HERMES
Ah! my good friend, did you have a good journey?

TRYGAEUS
Glutton, be off! I no longer seem a triple scoundrel to you. Come,
call Zeus.

HERMES
Ah! ah! you are a long way yet from reaching the gods, for they
moved yesterday.

TRYGAEUS
To what part of the earth?

HERMES
Eh! of the earth, did you say?

TRYGAEUS
In short, where are they then?

HERMES
Very far, very far, right at the furthest end of the dome of heaven.
