Blessings on you.
PHILENIUM
Do you wish for blessings on me, to whom you are bringing disease by your departure?
ARGYRIPPUS
Your mother has bid me the last farewell[*]; she has requested me to go home.
PHILENIUM
A bitter death will she cause her daughter, if I must part from you.
LIBANUS
(apart, to LEONIDA.)
Troth now, the man has been turned out of doors there.
LEONIDA
(apart.)
Such is the fact.
ARGYRIPPUS
Prithee, do let me go.
PHILENIUM
Whither are you going now? Why don’t you stay here?
ARGYRIPPUS
This night, if you choose, I’ll stay.
LIBANUS
(apart.)
Don’t you hear him? How profuse he is of his attentions by night. But now, in the daytime, he’s engaged; surely he’s a Solon[*]
to write laws whereby the public may regulate itself. Psha! those who would be in readiness for themselves to pay obedience to his laws, would decidedly never do any good; they would be drinking night and day.
LEONIDA
(apart.)
Troth now, for sure, he wouldn’t budge a foot from her if she would let him, who is now in such haste, and is threatening that he’s going away from her.
LIBANUS
(apart.)
Now make an end of your talk, that I may catch his discourse.
ARGYRIPPUS
Farewell!
PHILENIUM
Whither are you hastening?
ARGYRIPPUS
Kindly fare you well! I shall see you in the other world[*]. For indeed now, so soon as I can, I shall sever myself from life.
PHILENIUM
Prithee, why, while I do not deserve it, do you wish to consign me to death?
ARGYRIPPUS
I—you? whom, if I were to hear that you were in want of life, at once would I
present you my own life, and from my own would add to yours.
PHILENIUM
Why, then, do you threaten that you will quit life? For what do you suppose that I shall do, if you do that which you are talking of? I’m determined to do everything exactly the same to myself that you do to yourself.
ARGYRIPPUS
O! sweeter than honey are you to me.
PHILENIUM
And surely you are my life. Embrace me.
ARGYRIPPUS
I do so with pleasure.
(They embrace.)
PHILENIUM
Would that thus we might be carried to the tomb.
LEONIDA
(apart.)
O Libanus, how wretched is the man that loves.
LIBANUS
(apart.)
Aye, but surely, faith, the man that’s hanging up[*] is much more wretched.
LEONIDA
(apart.)
I know that, who have had experience of it. Let’s go round them: let’s accost them, one on the one side, one on the other.
(One walks towards them from each side.)
LIBANUS
Health to you, master. But is this female, smoke, that you are embracing?
ARGYRIPPUS
Why so?
LIBANUS
Because your eyes are filled with tears; ’twas for that reason I asked.
