’Pon honor[*].

NICOBULUS

And do you, you rotten creature, presume to become a lover at your time of life?

PHILOXENUS

Why not?

NICOBULUS

Because it’s a disgrace.

PHILOXENUS

What need of words? I am not vexed with my son, nor yet is it right you should be vexed with yours: if they are in love, they do wisely.

1st BACCHIS

⋯ Follow me this way.

(They approach the old men.)

NICOBULUS

See, they are moving at last, these allurers and enticers to disgrace. (To the women.) How now? Do you this instant restore us our sons and my servant, or am I to try rougher means with you?

PHILOXENUS

Won’t you away with you? You surely are not a man, to address a pretty woman so rudely in that fashion.

1st BACCHIS

Most worthy old gentleman, by whatsoever is upon the earth, let me entreat this of you, that you will cease to attack this error with such great vehemence.

NICOBULUS

If you don’t away with you, although you are so handsome, I’ll be doing you some great mischief just now.

1st BACCHIS

I shall endure it; I don’t apprehend that any blow that you can give, will cause me any pain.

NICOBULUS

How smooth of speech she is. O me! I am in alarm.
