Do you hear what he says?
ARTEMONA
I hear.
DEMAENETUS
(to PHILENIUM.)
Ought I not to filch the mantle from my wife at home,
which she is so fond of, and bring it to you? Though my wife’s life should last a whole year in consequence, by my troth I could not be dissuaded from doing so.
A PARASITE
(to ARTEMONA.)
Do you suppose that he has been accustomed to frequent a brothel to-day for the first time?
ARTEMONA
Upon my faith, it was he that was pilfering me; whereas I was suspecting my maid-servants, and was tormenting the wretched creatures who were innocent all the while.
ARGYRIPPUS
Father,
bid him pour out some wine; ’tis a long time since I drank first[*].
DEMAENETUS
(to the SERVANT.)
Begin, boy, from the top[*]. (To PHILENIUM.) Come, do you meanwhile from below give me a kiss.
(Kisses her.)
ARTEMONA
(to the PARASITE.)
Wretch that I am, I’m undone! How the villain, the garnishing of a bier[*], is kissing away.
DEMAENETUS
A breath, by my faith, somewhat sweeter than that of my wife.
PHILENIUM
Tell me, there’s a dear, does the breath of your wife smell bad?
DEMAENETUS
I’d prefer to drink bilge-water, if it were necessary, rather than kiss her.
ARTEMONA
(apart.)
Aye, pray, how say you? By my troth, to your own great detriment, you’ve surely said that against me. Never mind; only de you come home, I’ll let you know what danger there is in speaking abusively against a wife with a dowry.
PHILENIUM
By heavens, you are a wretch.
ARTEMONA(apart.)
I’ faith, he’s deserving so to be.
ARGYRIPPUS
How say you, father?
