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.
ARGYRIPPUS
What other thing could I ardently wish for rather than that of which I am in want?
Oblige me with twenty silver minae to give to her mother.
LIBANUS
They shall be given: take care and be of good courage, your wishes shall be fulfilled.
ARGYRIPPUS
Just as they are wont, Salvation and Fortune are deceiving mortals.
LEONIDA
I this day have been the head in finding this money for you.
LIBANUS
I have been the foot.
ARGYRIPPUS
Why, neither head nor foot of your talking is visible;
I can understand neither what you mean, nor why you are trifling with me.
LIBANUS
I think that now you’ve been teased enough; now let’s disclose the matter as it really stands. Give your attention, Argyrippus, if you please. Your father has ordered us to bring this money to you.
ARGYRIPPUS
How very à propos and opportunely you have brought it.
LIBANUS
(giving him the bag.)
Here, in this, there will be twenty good minae, obtained by bad means:
these, on certain conditions, he bade us give you.
ARGYRIPPUS
Prithee, what are they?
LIBANUS
That you would grant him her favours and an entertainment.
ARGYRIPPUS
Bid him come, I beg. For him who deserves it right well, we’ll do what he wishes, him who has brought these scattered loves of ours to a happy result.
LEONIDA
You’ll permit your father then, Argyrippus, to caress her?
ARGYRIPPUS
She, by being restored to me, will easily cause me to permit it.
Prithee, Leonida, run, and beg my father to come here.
LIBANUS
He has been in the house some time.
ARGYRIPPUS
He hasn’t come this way, at all events.
