LAMPITO: As for mine, if he ever does return from service, he's no sooner home than he takes down his shield again
and flies back to the wars.
LYSISTRATA: And not so much as the shadow of a lover! Since the day the Milesians betrayed us, I have never once
seen an eight-inch godemiche even, to be a leathern consolation to us poor widows.... Now tell me, if I have discovered
means of ending the war, will you all second me?
MYRRHINÉ: Yes verily, by all the goddesses, I swear I will, though I have to put my gown in pawn, and drink the
money the same day.
CLEONICÉ: And so will I, though I must be split in two like a flat-fish, and have half myself removed.
LAMPITO: And I too; why to secure peace, I would climb to the top of Mount Taygetus.
LYSISTRATA: Then I will out with it at last, my mighty secret! Oh! sister women, if we would compel our husbands
make peace, we must refrain...
MYRRHINÉ: Refrain from what? tell us, tell us!
[Lysistrata proceeds to convince the women to take a drastic action to end the war.]
