If he were at home, I would tell you so.
THE ASS-DEALER
Well, his chamberlain then?
LIBANUS
No more is ne at home.
THE ASS-DEALER
Where is he?
LIBANUS
He said he was going to the barber’s.
THE ASS-DEALER
Hasn’t he returned, since he went there?
LIBANUS
I’ faith, he hasn’t. What did you want?
THE ASS-DEALER
He was to have received twenty mine of silver, if he had been in.
LIBANUS
What was it for?
THE ASS-DEALER
He sold some asses at market to a dealer from Pella.
LIBANUS
I understand; you are bringing it now. I think that he’ll be here just now.
THE ASS-DEALER
Of what appearance is your chamberlain Saurea? If it’s he, I shall be able to know at once.
LIBANUS
Lantern-jawed, with reddish hair, a little pot-bellied, with glaring eyes, middling stature, sour aspect.
THE ASS-DEALER
A painter couldn’t have more correctly described his appearance— And, i’ faith, I see the very man; he’s coming this way, wagging his head.
LIBANUS
Whoever gets in his way when he’s in a passion, he’ll be for striking him.
THE ASS-DEALER
By my faith, if, indeed, he were coming filled with the threats and the courage of the grandson ofAeacus[*], if he were to touch me in his wrath, in his wrath he would be getting a thrashing.

(Enter LEONIDA, counterfeiting SAUREA.)
LEONIDA
(to himself.)
What’s this to do here? Not a person bares a bit about my orders! How did I order Libanus to come to the barber’s shop, and he didn’t come at all. I’ faith, for sure he hasn’t consulted well for his back and his legs.
