Pyg. Excuse me, sir; poor though that statue be,

I value it beyond all price.

Chry.Pooh, pooh!

I give a thousand drachmas for a stone

Which in the rough would not fetch half that sum!

Daph. Why bless my soul, young man, are you aware

We gave but fifteen hundred not long since

For an Apollo twice as big as that?

Pyg. But pardon me, a sculptor does not test

The beauty of a figure by its bulk.
