I don’t ask you.
STROBILUS
Take them in-doors.
STAPHYLA
Follow me.
(They follow her in-doors, and STROBILUS goes with the others into the house of MEGADORUS.)

(Enter PYTHODICUS, from the house of MEGADORUS.)
PYTHODICUS
Mind you your business; I’ll step in and see what the cooks are doing, to observe whom, i’ faith, to-day it is a most laborious task.
Unless I manage this one thing, for them to cook the dinner down in the dungeon[*]; thence, when cooked, we might bring it up again in small baskets. But if they should eat below[*] whatever they should cook, those above would go without their dinner, and those below have dined. But here am I chattering, as though I had no business,
when there’s such a pack of thieves in the house.
(Goes into the house.)
(Enter EUCLIO, with some chaplets of flowers in his hand.)
EUCLIO
I wished at length to screw up my courage to-day, so as to enjoy myself at the wedding of my daughter. I come to the market, I enquire about fish; they tell me that it is dear, that lamb is dear, beef is dear,
veal, large fish[*], and pork, all of them are dear. And for this reason were they still dearer; I hadn’t the money. I came away thence in a rage, since I had nothing wherewithal to make a purchase; and thus did I baulk[*] all those rascals. Then I began to think with myself upon the road,
If you are guilty of any extravagance on a festive day, you may be wanting on a common day, unless you are saving. After I disclosed this reasoning to my heart and appetite, my mind came over to my opinion, that I ought to give my daughter in marriage at as little expense as possible.

Then 1 w 2044
I 21 w 2045
began 1 w 2050
to 20 w 2052

I 23 w 2177
