Well, well, I’ll wait your pleasure, even, in fact, till you die.

LEONIDA

Where’s our master, pray?

LIBANUS

The old one is at the Forum, the young one is here in-doors.

LEONIDA

That’s enough for me then.

LIBANUS

Is it then that you’ve become a rich man?

LEONIDA

Leave off your raillery.

LIBANUS

I’ll have done; for my ears are in expectation of what you are bringing me.

LEONIDA

Give your attention, that equally with myself you may learn this.

LIBANUS

I’m silent, then.

LEONIDA

You oblige me. Don’t you remember that our chamberlain sold some Arcadian asses to a dealer of Pella[*]?

LIBANUS

I remember it; after that, what then?

LEONIDA

Well, he has sent some money here then to be paid to Saurea, for the asses; a young man has just now come who has brought this money.

LIBANUS

Where is this person?

LEONIDA

You think he ought to be devoured this instant, if you could see him.

LIBANUS

Aye, to be sure. But, however, you are speaking, I suppose, of those asses,

aged and lame, whose hoofs were quite worn away to their very thighs?

LEONIDA

Those same ones, that carried the elm twigs hither from the country, for your use.
