What person, I wonder, is this before our house lamenting, and that utters complaints with his moaning? Why,surely, this is Euclio, as I imagine. I’m utterly undone! The thing’s all out; he knows now, as I suppose, that his daughter is brought to bed. I’m in a state of uncertainty now
what I shall do, whether go or remain, accost him or fly.

EUCLIO
What person is it that speaks there?
LYCONIDES
’Tis I, wretch that I am.
EUCLIO
Yes, and so am I, and wretchedly ruined, whose lot is misfortune so great and sorrow.
LYCONIDES
Be of good courage.
EUCLIO
How, prithee, can I be so?
LYCONIDES
Because that deed which is afflicting your mind, I did it, and I confess it.
EUCLIO
What is it I hear from you?
LYCONIDES
That which is the truth.
EUCLIO
What evil, young man, have I deserved, by reason of which you should do thus, and go to ruin both me and my children?
LYCONIDES
A Divinity was my prompter; he prompted me to do it[*].
EUCLIO
How?
LYCONIDES
I confess that I have done wrong, and I know that I deserve censure; for that reason I’m come to beseech you, that, with feelings assuaged, you will pardon me.
EUCLIO
Why did you dare do so, to touch that which was not your own?
LYCONIDES
What do you wish to be done? The thing has been done; it can’t be undone. I believe that the Gods willed it, for if they hadn’t willed it, I know it wouldn’t have happened.
EUCLIO
But I believe that the Gods have willed that I should be the death of you in fetters.
LYCONIDES
Don’t say that!
EUCLIO
What business then have you to touch what is my own against my will?
LYCONIDES
Because I did it under the evil influence of wine and love.
EUCLIO
Most audacious man, that you should dare to come here to me with that speech, you impudent fellow! For if this is lawful, so that you may be able to excuse it—let us openly, in broad daylight, plunder their golden trinkets from ladies—after that, if we are caught, let us excuse ourselves, that we did it when intoxicated,
by reason of being in love. Too cheap are wine and love, if one in liquor and in love is allowed to do with impunity whatever he pleases.
LYCONIDES
But I come to you of my own accord to supplicate you on account of my folly.
EUCLIO
Persons don’t please me, who, when they’ve done wrong, excuse themselves. You knew that you had no right there; you oughtn’t to have touched[*].
LYCONIDES
Therefore, inasmuch as I did dare to touch, I make no objection to keep by all means.
EUCLIO
You, keep what is my own against my will?
LYCONIDES
Against your will, I do not ask; but I think that that which was yours ought to be mine[*]. Moreover, Euclio, you’ll find, I say, that mine it ought to be.
EUCLIO
Now really, on my word, I’ll drag you to the Praetor and take proceedings[*] against you,
unless you make restitution.
LYCONIDES
Make restitution of what to you?
