Cyn. To think that heaven-born Art should be the slave
Of such as he!
Pyg.Well, wealth is heaven-born too.
I work for wealth.
Cyn.Thou workest, love, for fame.
Pyg. And fame brings wealth. The thought’s contemptible,
But I can do no more than work for wealth.
Cyn. Such words from one whose noble work it is
To call the senseless marble into life!
Pyg. Life! Dost thou call that life? (Indicating statue of Galatea.)
