Nay, but, master, do you betake yourself away from him, and do you come to me.

And, what he has demanded for himself, will you erect a statue for me, and offer prayers to me?

ARGYRIPPUS

But what Divinity am I to call you?

LEONIDA

Fortune, and that the Propitious one[*].

ARGYRIPPUS

You are better than he then.

LIBANUS

Why, is there ever anything better for a man than Salvation?

ARGYRIPPUS

Though I praise Fortune, still, not to speak in dispraise of the Divinity Salvation—

PHILENIUM

By the powers, but they are good, both of them.

ARGYRIPPUS

I shall know it, when they have conferred anything that’s good.

LEONIDA

Wish for that which you desire to befall you.

ARGYRIPPUS

What if I do wish it?

LEONIDA

It shall come to pass.

ARGYRIPPUS

I wish for her to be devoted to me alone this whole year round.

LEONIDA

You have obtained it.

ARGYRIPPUS

Do you really say so?

LEONIDA

I do say so for certain.

LIBANUS

Come to me, in my turn, and make trial: wish ardently for that which you especially desire to happen to you; it shall be done.
