I judge that so he is.

PISTOCLERUS

Troth now, prithee, do tell me who it is.

MNESILOCHUS

He lives on good terms with yourself. But were he not; so, I would entreat you to do him whatever harm you could do.

PISTOCLERUS

Only tell me the person, who he is; if I don’t do him an injury, some way or other, do you say that I’m the greatest of cowards.

MNESILOCHUS

The person’s a bad one, but he’s your friend, i’ faith.

PISTOCLERUS

So much the rather, then, tell me who he is. In good sooth, I set no value on the esteem of a worthless person.

MNESILOCHUS

I appear, then, not to be able to avoid disclosing to you his name.

Pistoclerus, you have utterly undone me, your friend.

PISTOCLERUS

How’s that?

MNESILOCHUS

How’s that? Did I not send you a letter from Ephesus about my mistress, that you should find her out for me?

PISTOCLERUS

I own you did; and I have discovered her.

MNESILOCHUS

How now? Was there not a choice for you of other Courtesans in Athens, for you to form engagements with, instead of with her whom I had recommended to your care?
