there'll be an execution. it serves him right. the law makes retribution. there's going to be a killing. hurrah! hurroo!
it serves him right. hurrah! hurroo!
he came from syracuse. no! no! no!
he dies tomorrow at sundown. our rigid laws of ephesus
of uncivilized syracuse. if any one of us would dare to go
to that barbaric city. he'd get the ax the same as he-
that's why he gets no pity. give him the ax
unless he can pay a thousand marks
or borrow it from the local sharks. why did you come here?
i had twins. he had twins. that's nothing much agin him. he had twins. i never thought he had it in him. ha
ha. is that why you came here?
i had twins who looked alike
couldn't tell one from the other. they had two slaves who looked alike
couldn't tell one from his brother. but on one unlucky day. we went sailing on the sea. this was an unlucky blunder
for our ship was torn asunder
one young twin went down with me
one went swimming with his mother. we were parted by the sea
man and wife and slave and brother. now my one remaining brave boy
went a-searching with his slave boy. having lost my son
i will gladly give my life
i have searched the isles of greece
