I’ faith, but you’ll have a care not to be touching me, if you are wise; you’ll surely have changed your name to day with a bad omen[*].
LEONIDA
Prithee, do endure it with resolution.
LIBANUS
Do you endure the cuff that I, too, shall be giving you in return.
LEONIDA
I speak as it’s in the habit of being done.
LIBANUS
I’ faith, and I speak, too, of how I’m likely to act.
LEONIDA
Don’t refuse me.
LIBANUS
Why I promise, I tell you, to give you a like return, just as you deserve.
LEONIDA
I’m off; I know that you’ll put up with it by-and-by. But who’s this? ’Tis he—’tis the very man himself. I’ll return here just now; in the meantime do you detain him here;
I want to inform the old gentleman.
(Exit.)
LIBANUS
Well, do your duty, then, and fly.

(Enter the ASS-DEALER, with a BOY.)
THE ASS-DEALER
(to himself.)
According as it was pointed out to me, this must be the house where Demaenetus is said to live. (To the BOY.) Go, boy, and knock, and call Saurea the chamberlain out here, if he’s in-doors.
(The BOY goes to knock.)
LIBANUS
Who’s breaking in our door in this fashion? Enough there, I say, if you hear me at all.
THE ASS-DEALER
No one has touched it as yet: are you out of your senses?
LIBANUS
Why I thought that you had touched it, because you were steering your course in that direction. I don’t want the door, my fellow-slave[*], to be thumped by you; I really am attached to our house.
THE ASS-DEALER
I’ faith, there’s no fear of the hinges being broken off the doors, if you answer all who make enquiries in this fashion.
LIBANUS
This door is of this habit; it cries out at once for tho porter, if it sees any door-kicker at a distance coming towards it. But what are you come for? What are you enquiring about?
THE ASS-DEALER
I wanted Demaenetus.
