Xanthias.Yes, I understand you—

A lucky, promising direction, truly.

Charon (to BACCHUS). Sit down at the oar. Come, quick, if there are more coming!—

Hullo! what’s that you’re doing?

Bacchus.What you told me.

I’m sitting at the oar.

Charon.Sit there, I tell you,

You fatguts; that’s your place.
