And besides those lambs, my dog is there concealed that bites[*]. If they are not now produced to us and sent out of the house, we shall be furious rams; we shall attack you forthwith.

1st BACCHIS

Sister, I have something to say to you in private.

2nd BACCHIS

How now, prithee?

(They go apart.)

NICOBULUS

Whither are they going?

FIRST BACCHIS

Sister, I give to you that old fellow that’s farthest off, that you may have him cleverly smoothed down; I’ll now attack this other one that’s angry; if we can only entice them here indoors.

2nd BACCHIS

I’ll manage my task with cleverness, although ’tis to caress an old skeleton.

1st BACCHIS

Take care and do your best.

2nd BACCHIS

Be quiet; do you do yours; I’ll manage what I have said.

NICOBULUS

Why are these two women holding a council here in private?

PHILOXENUS

What say you, my good fellow—?

NICOBULUS

What would you with me?

PHILOXENUS

I really am ashamed to tell you a certain thing.
