The Comedies of Terence

SCENE I.

George Colman translation

Menedemus alone.

That I’m not overwise, no conjurer,

I know full well: but my assistant here,

And counselor, and grand controller Chremes,

Outgoes me far: dolt, blockhead, ninny, ass;

Or these, or any other common terms

By which men speak of fools, befit me well:

But him they suit not: his stupidity

Is so transcendent, it exceeds them all.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
