Freed-men.

LEONIDA

And not patrons?

ARGYRIPPUS

That in preference.

LEONIDA
(produces the bag.)

Here are twenty minae in this bag. These, if you like, I’ll give you.

ARGYRIPPUS

May the Deities ever preserve you,

protector of your master, honor to the people, treasury of resources, preserver of my inner man[*], and commander of love; place it here, put down that bag, here on the spot, at once[*].

LEONIDA

I don’t like you, who are my master, to carry this load.

ARGYRIPPUS

Still, do you rid yourself of the trouble, and fasten that bag to myself.

LEONIDA

I’ll carry it, porter-like; you, as befits my master, go, without any burden, before me.

ARGYRIPPUS

How now?

Why’s this?

Why don’t you give up the bag[*] here, for your master to feel its weight?

LEONIDA

Bid her to whom I’m about to give it, to beg and entreat it of me. For that’s a dangerous spot where you bid me put it down at once.

PHILENIUM
(to LEONIDA.)

Apple of my eye, my rose, my life, my delight,

Leonida, do give me the money, and don’t sever us lovers asunder.

LEONIDA
(to PHILENIUM.)

Call me, then, your little sparrow, your chicken, your quail, your pet lamb: say that I’m your pet kid or your pet calf; take me by the ears, press your lips to my lips.

ARGYRIPPUS

She, kiss you, you whip-scoundrel?
