She doesn’t go: she says she shan’t go. Begone, and take back this message—she loves another person, and not him. Take yourself off from the house.

PARASITE

You’re too hasty.

PISTOCLERUS

And would you know now hasty I am?

By my faith, your phiz isn’t far off from a mishap; so much are these teeth-crackers (looking at his fists) longing in my fists.

PARASITE
(aside.)

So far as I understand his words, ’tis a warning to me, lest he should knock my nut-crackers out of my jaws. (To PISTOCLERUS.) At your own peril, I’ll tell him this.

PISTOCLERUS

What do you say?

PARASITE

I’ll tell him that which you bade me.

PISTOCLERUS

Who are you? Tell me.

PARASITE

I’m the skill of his body[*]

PISTOCLERUS

He needs must be a scampish fellow, who has got so worthless a skin.

PARASITE

He’ll be coming here, swollen up with wrath.

PISTOCLERUS

I wish he may burst.
