Greek

Λυσιστράτη

ὦ φιλτάτη Λάκαινα χαῖρε Λαμπιτοῖ.
οἷον τὸ κάλλος γλυκυτάτη σου φαίνεται.
ὡς δ᾽ εὐχροεῖς, ὡς δὲ σφριγᾷ τὸ σῶμά σου.
κἂν ταῦρον ἄγχοις.

Λαμπιτῶ

μάλα γ᾽ οἰῶ ναὶ τὼ σιώ·
γυμνάδδομαι γὰρ καὶ ποτὶ πυγὰν ἅλλομαι.

Καλονίκη

ὡς δὴ καλὸν τὸ χρῆμα τιτθίων ἔχεις.

Λαμπιτῶ

περ ἱερεῖόν τοί μ᾽ ὑποψαλάσσετε.

English

LYSISTRATA

Welcome Lampito!
Dear Spartan girl with a delightful face,
Washed with the rosy spring, how fresh you look
In the easy stride of your sleek slenderness,
Why you could strangle a bull!

LAMPITO

I think I could.
It's frae exercise and kicking high behint.

LYSISTRATA

What lovely breasts to own!

LAMPITO

Oo ... your fingers
Assess them, ye tickler, wi' such tender chucks
I feel as if I were an altar-victim.
