Tene, effeminatissime, tua manu cuiquam viro mortem minitari? At qua tandem manu? Philomelae an Medeae an Clytaemnestrae? Quas tamen cum saltas (tanta mollitia animi, tanta formido ferri est), sine cludine saltas.
You, who are completely unmanly, do you dare to lift your hand against any man? Whose hand is it, may I ask? Is it Philomela's, Medea's, or Clytemnestra's? Although, when you dance their parts, you brandish a stage sword, your character remains effeminate and you are scared of real weapons.
