(Looking up and discovering Socrates.)     Come who is this man who is in the basket?          Dis.  Himself.          Strep. Who's "Himself"?          Dis. Socrates.          Strep.  O Socrates!  Come, you sir, call upon him loudly for me.          Dis.  Nay, rather, call him yourself;  for I have no leisure.
