What is it that youre ashamed about?
PHILOXENUS
Still, as you are a person, a friend of mine, Im determined to entrust you with what I could wish. (Whispers.) Im good for nought.
NICOBULUS
Ive known that this long time; but tell me why youre good for nought?
PHILOXENUS
Ive been terribly touched with birdlime: troth, my heart is pierced by the goad.
NICOBULUS
I faith, twere much better if your flanks were goaded, you worthless fellow.
But what is it? Although I suspect that I myself pretty well know already what it is; still, I should even like to hear it from yourself.
PHILOXENUS
Do you see that woman?
(Pointing to the SECOND BACCHIS.)
NICOBULUS
I see her.
PHILOXENUS
Shes not an uncomely person.
NICOBULUS
Troth, but she is decidedly uncomely; and you are a good-for-nothing fellow.
PHILOXENUS
Why more? Im in love.
NICOBULUS
You, in love?
