Soc Monologue from The Clouds

From The Clouds by Aristophanes

male · sarcastic · 51 sec

By Respiration, and Chaos, and Air, I have not seen any man so boorish, nor so impracticable, nor so stupid, nor so forgetful; who, while learning some little petty quibbles, forgets them before he has learned them. Nevertheless I will certainly call him out here to the light. Where is Strepsiades? Come forth with your couch. (Strep:. The bugs do not permit me to bring it forth.) Make haste and lay it down; and give me your attention. (Enter Strepsiades) (Strep: Very well.) Come now; what do you now wish to learn first of those things in none of which you have ever been instructed? Tell me. About measures, or rhythms, or verses?
