And perjured folk he mentioned?

XAN. Didn't you?

DIO. Poseidon, yes. Why look! (_pointing to the audience_)
I see them now. What's the next step?

XAN. We'd best be moving on.
This is the spot where Heracles declared
Those savage monsters dwell.

DIO. O hang the fellow.
That's all his bluff: he thought to scare me off,
The jealous dog, knowing my plucky ways.
There's no such swaggerer lives as Heracles.
Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve
Some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.

XAN. I know you would. Hallo! I hear a noise.

DIO. Where? what?

XAN. Behind us, there.

DIO. Get you behind.

XAN. No, it's in front.

DIO. Get you in front directly.
