Beware of a mischief[*], and forbear to speak of him unjustly.
LYDUS
Hold your peace. You’re a foolish man, who cannot bear to have him badly spoken of who does badly.
But I would rather have him draw upon my mishaps than upon my savings[*].
PHILOXENUS
Why so?
LYDUS
Because, if he were to draw upon my mishaps, he would each day be making them less.
MNESILOCHUS
Why, Lydus, are you censuring your pupil, my friend?
LYDUS
Your friend is ruined.
MNESILOCHUS
May the Gods forbid it.
LYDUS
’Tis so as I say. And further, I myself saw it when he was undone; I am not censuring him from hearsay.
MNESILOCHUS
What has been done by him?
LYDUS
He is disgracefully doting upon a harlot.
MNESILOCHUS
Won’t you be silent now?
