gaṇikā---(ātmagatam) haṃ idāṇi saṃsaivā saṃvṛttā, jo appaguṇāṇi saaṃ evva mantedi . kahaṃ eve akayya ṇa karissanti . (aham idānīṃ saṃśayitā saṃvṛttā, ya ātmaguṇān svayameva mantrayate. kathamete'kārya na kariṣyanti.)

Courtesan---(To herself) Ah, now I am truly in peril, when he proclaims his own virtues himself! How will these men not commit an outrage?
Parasite---My lady, let our entreaty be accepted. See---
Humility, when rebuffed, surely gives rise to fury,
and what indeed is difficult for enraged men like me?
This hand, long as a sword, is capable of coaxing;
protect both me and your body from the shame of killing a woman. (14)
