Cleom. And what part acted you?

Panth. As little as I could; and daily would have less,

So please the gods, for that's a wise man's part.

Cleom. Would I could share thy balmy, even temper,

And milkiness of blood.

Panth. You may.

Cleom. As how?

Panth. By but forgetting you have been a king.

Cleom. Then must I rust in Egypt, never more

Appear in arms, and be the chief of Greece?
