bring it from your own home, don’t lose your trouble in asking for it. But here, at our house, there’s great confusion, and a large establishment— furniture, gold, garments, silver vessels. If anything’s lost here (as I know

that you can easily[*] keep hands off—if nothing’s in your way), they may say, The cooks have stolen it; seize them, bind them, beat them, thrust them in the dungeon[*]. Nothing of that sort will happen to you, inasmuch as there will be nothing for you to steal. Follow me this way.

LYCONIDES

I follow.

STROBILUS
(knocking at the door of EUCLIO’S house.)

Ho, there Staphyla, come out and open the door.

STAPHYLA
(from within.)

Who calls there?

STROBILUS

Strobilus.

350

(Enter STAPHYLA.)

STAPHYLA

What do you want?

STROBILUS

For you to take in these cooks, and this music-girl, and these provisions for the wedding. Megadorus bade me take these things to Euclio.

STAPHYLA

Are you about to make this wedding, Strobilus, in honor of Ceres[*]?
