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.
LIBANUS
(pointing to the back way.)
He came round that way[*] by the lane, through the garden, lest any one of his friends should see him coming here; he’s afraid that his wife may come to know of it. If your mother knew about the money, how it was obtained—
ARGYRIPPUS
Well, well—
do use words of good omens[*];
go in-doors quickly,
farewell.
LEONIDA
And you two, love on.
(He and LIBANUS go into the house of DEMAENETUS; ARGYRIPPUS and PHILENIUM into that of CLEAERETA.)
746
(Enter DIABOLUS and a PARASITE, with a scroll in his hand.)
DIABOLUS
Come now, show me this agreement that you’ve written out between myself and the procuress. Read over the conditions; for you are a quite unique composer[*] in such matters.
A PARASITE
I’ll make the procuress be terrified when she hears the conditions.
DIABOLUS
Troth now, prithee, proceed and read them over to me.
A PARASITE
Are you attending?
DIABOLUS
I’m all attention.
A PARASITE
(reads the agreement.)
Diabolus, the son of Glaucus, has made a present to Cleaereta, the procuress, of twenty silver minae, that Philenium may be with him night and day for this whole year.
DIABOLUS
Yes, and not with any other person.
A PARASITE
Am I to add that?
