Bdelycleon
Ah! it would be better to separate altogether from my father than to steer my boat daily through such stormy seas! Chorus
[480] Oh! you have but reached the parsley and the rue, to use the common saying. What you are suffering is nothing! but welcome the hour when the advocate shall adduce all these same arguments against you and shall summon your accomplices to give witness. Bdelycleon

No, not as long as I retain an atom of breath. Ha! your desire is to tyrannize over us!
Aristophanes. Wasps. The Complete Greek Drama, vol. 2. Eugene O'Neill, Jr. New York. Random House. 1938.
