CALONICE
Only if you draw the lot, by Aphrodite! LYSISTRATA SO, grasp the brim, you, Lampito, and all. You, Calonice, repeat for the rest Each word I say. Then you must all take oath And pledge your arms to the same stern conditions-- LYSISTRATA To husband or lover I'll not open arms CALONICE _To husband or lover I'll not open arms_ LYSISTRATA Though love and denial may enlarge his charms. CALONICE _Though love and denial may enlarge his charms._ O, O, my knees are failing me, Lysistrata! LYSISTRATA But still at home, ignoring him, I'll stay, CALONICE |
