FIRST SENATOR. If after two days' shine Athens contain thee,			First senator. If after two days Shine Athens contains you,
Attend our weightier judgment. And, not to swell our spirit,			Take part in our more important judgment. And do not swell our minds,
He shall be executed presently. Exeunt SENATORS			He is currently being executed. Senatorers exeunt
ALCIBIADES. Now the gods keep you old enough that you may live			Alcibiades. Now the gods keep you old enough so that you can live
Only in bone, that none may look on you!			Only in the bone that nobody can see you!
I'm worse than mad; I have kept back their foes,			I'm worse than crazy; I held back their enemies
While they have told their money and let out			While she tells and let out her money
