Through your doing, and for your sake am I corrupted.
1st BACCHIS
I certainly had rather ’twere for your own than for mine.
NICOBULUS
Come then, however that may be, although it is to my disgrace, I’ll submit; I’ll induce my feelings to do so.
1st BACCHIS
Have I that solemnly promised? ⋯
NICOBULUS
What I have once said, I will not alter.
1st BACCHIS
The day wears apace. Come into the house, to take your places at table: your sons are expecting within—
NICOBULUS
How soon, in fact, we may be dead, d’ye mean?
1st BACCHIS
’Tis evening, already; come, follow us.
PHILOXENUS
Lead us in like bondsmen[*].
(They go into the house.)
1st BACCHIS
(to the SPECTATORS.)
Right cleverly are these persons entrapped[*] themselves, who for their sons had laid a snare.
(Goes in.)
The COMPANY[*] of COMEDIANS
Had not these old men been worthless from their youth upwards, they would not, with their hoary heads, have this day done an action so disgraceful; nor, indeed, should we have represented this, if we had not, before this, seen it happen
that fathers became the rivals of their sons in the houses of procurers. Spectators, we wish you Farewell! and that you will grant us loud applause.
