Peace by Aristophanes SCENE: A farmyard, two slaves busy beside a dungheap; afterwards, in Olympus. FIRST SERVANT Quick, quick, bring the dung-beetle his cake. SECOND SERVANT Coming, coming. FIRST SERVANT Give it to him, and may it kill him! SECOND SERVANT May he never eat a better. FIRST SERVANT Now give him this other one kneaded up with ass's dung. SECOND SERVANT There! I've done that too. FIRST SERVANT And where's what you gave him just now; surely he can't have devoured it yet! SECOND SERVANT Indeed he has; he snatched it, rolled it between his feet and bolted it. FIRST SERVANT Come, hurry up, knead up a lot and knead them stiffly. SECOND SERVANT Oh, scavengers, help me in the name of the gods, if you do not wish to see me fall down choked. FIRST SERVANT Come, come, another made from the stool of a young scapegrace catamite. 'Twill be to the beetle's taste; he likes it well ground.
