Be well assured that I would not barter my wretched plight for thy drudgery; for better do I deem it to be a lackey to this rock, than to be born the confidential courier of father Jove. Thus is it meet to repay insult in kind. (MER: Thou seemest to revel in thy present state.) Revel! Would that I might see my foes thus reveling, and among these I reckon thee. (MER: What dost thou impute to me also any blame for thy mischances?) In plain truth, I detest all the gods, as many of them as, after having received benefits at my hands, are iniquitously visiting me with evils.
