Did you hear me?
EUCLIO
Everything from the very beginning.
MEGADORUS
(eyeing him from head to foot.)
Still, in my way of thinking indeed, you would be acting a little more becomingly
if you were more tidy at the wedding of your daughter.
EUCLIO
Those who have display according to their circumstances and splendour according to their means[*], remember themselves, from whence they are sprung; neither by myself, Megadorus, nor by any poor man, are better circumstances enjoyed than appearances warrant.
MEGADORUS
Surely they are; and may the Gods, I hope, make them so to be, and more and more may they prosper that which you now possess.
EUCLIO
(aside.)
That expression don’t please me, which you now possess. He knows that I’ve got this, as well as I do myself: the old woman has discovered it to him.
MEGADORUS
Why do you separate yourself thus alone, apart from the Senate [*]?
EUCLIO
Troth, I was considering whether I should accuse you deservedly.
