Strep Monologue from The Clouds

From The Clouds by Aristophanes

male · comedic · 42 sec

I have found a very clever method of getting rid of my suit, so that you yourself would acknowledge it. (Soc: Of what description?) Have you ever seen this stone in the chemist's shops, the beautiful and transparent one, from which they kindle fire? (Soc: Do you mean the burning-glass?) I do. Come what would you say, pray, if I were to take this, when the clerk was entering the suit, and were to stand at a distance, in the direction of the sun, thus, and melt out the letters of my suit?
