Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Mnester, I'm an actor. Most people have heard of me.
My name is Scylla, and I'm a whore. Everybody's heard of me.
“A God in Colchester”
Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Mnester, I'm an actor. Most people have heard of me.
My name is Scylla, and I'm a whore. Everybody's heard of me.
Mnester [reciting a poem]
The golden hair that Gala wears is hers.
Who would have thought it?
She swears it's hers, and true she swears:
For I know where she bought it!
Mnester [reciting a poem]
You ask me how my farm can pay,
Since little it will bear.
It pays me thus: 'tis far away,
And you are never there.
The difference between you and me, actor, is you're a snob and I'm not. And the difference between this great lady and myself is that my work is her hobby. My hobby happens to be gardening, for which I don't expect to be paid.
What am I to do?
What can a dead man do? Go and get buried.
