Now I’ll go and see whether the gold is just as I concealed it, that so troubles wretched me in very many ways.
(He goes into his house.)
STAPHYLA
By heavens, I cannot now conceive what misfortune, or what insanity, I am to say has befallen my master; in such a way does he
often, ten times in one day, in this fashion push wretched me out of the house. I’ faith, I know not what craziness does possess this man; whole nights is he on the watch; then, too, all the day long does he sit for whole days together at home like a lame cobbler [*].
Nor can I imagine now by what means to conceal the disgrace of my master’s daughter, whose lying-in approaches near; and there isn’t anything better for me, as I fancy, than to make one long capital letter [*] of myself, when I’ve tied up my neck in a halter.

(Enter EUCLIO, from his house.)
EUCLIO
(to himself.)
Now, with my mind at ease, at length I go out of my house,
after I’ve seen that everything is safe in-doors. Now do you return at once into the house (to STAPHYLA), and keep watch in-doors.
STAPHYLA
Keep watch in-doors upon nothing at all, forsooth! or is it, that no one may carry the house away. For here in our house there’s nothing else for thieves to gain, so filled is it with emptiness [*] and cobwebs.
EUCLIO
’Tis a wonder that, for your sake, Jupiter doesn’t now make me a King Philip, or a Darius[*], you hag of hags. I choose those cobwebs to be watched for me. I am poor, I confess it—I put up with it. What the Gods send, I endure. Go in-doors, shut to the door, I shall be there directly.
Take you care not to let any strange person into the house.
