Amphitryon (Act 2 Scene 5) lyrics

SCENE V: CLEANTHIS, SOSIE

SOS.
What do you say, Cleanthis, to these cheerful looks, after his terrible rage?

CLE.
That we should all do well to send all men to the devil; the best of them is not worth much.

SOS.
You say that because you are in a passion; but you are too fond of men; upon my word, you would all look as black as thunder if the devil were to take them all away.

CLE.
Really...

SOS.
Here they come. Hush.
