Come then, father, let’s take our places, please.
DEMAENETUS
As you bid me, my son, so it shall be.
ARGYRIPPUS
(to the ATTENDANTS.)
Lads, spread the table.
DEMAENETUS
Is it at all displeasing to you, son, if she takes her place by me?
(They take their places.)
ARGYRIPPUS
Duty, father, keeps sorrow from my eyes; although I love her, still I can control my feelings, not to take it to heart because she takes her place by you.
DEMAENETUS
It becomes a young man to be respectful, Argyrippus.
ARGYRIPPUS
Troth, father, through proper regard for you, I can be so.
DEMAENETUS
Come, then, let’s enjoy this banquet
with wine and pleasant discourse. I don’t wish to be feared, I prefer myself to be loved by you, my son.
ARGYRIPPUS
In truth, I do them both, as is proper for a son.
DEMAENETUS
I’d believe it, if I saw you were cheerful.
ARGYRIPPUS
Why, do you think that I’m sorrowful?
DEMAENETUS
Do I think so? You, whom I see as melancholy as if the day[*] of trial had been named for you.
ARGYRIPPUS
Don’t you say that.
DEMAENETUS
Don’t you be so, then I’ll not say so.
ARGYRIPPUS
Well then, look at me; I’m laughing.
(He affects to laugh.)
DEMAENETUS
I’d like that those who wish me ill would laugh thus.
