Whats the matter?
EUCLIO
Do you ask me whats the matter? You who have filled every corner in my house, for wretched me, with thieves? You who have introduced into my dwelling five hundred cooks, with six hands a-piece, of the race of Geryon[*],
whom were Argus to watch, who was eyes all over, that Juno once set as a spy upon Jupiter, he never could watch them; a music-girl besides, who could alone drink up for me the Corinthian fountain of Pirene[*], if it were flowing with wine?
And then as to provisions
MEGADORUS
Troth, theres enough for a procurer [*] even. I sent as much as a lamb.
EUCLIO
Than which lamb, I, indeed, know right well that there is nowhere a more curious[*] beast existing.
MEGADORUS
I wish to know of you why is this lamb curious?
EUCLIO
Because its all skin and bone, so lean is it with care;
why, even when alive, by the light of the sun you may look at its entrails; its just as transparent as a Punic lantern[*].
