Follow me this way; I’ll soon let you know.
NICOBULUS
Where on earth shall I follow you?
CHRYSALUS
Only three steps.
NICOBULUS
Aye, ten even.
CHRYSALUS
Come, then, Artamo, do you open you this door out a very little way; softly, don’t make it creak. (The door of the house of BACCHIS is opened.) That’s enough. Now, step you hither. (To NICOBULUS, who looks in.) Do you see the entertainment?
NICOBULUS
(still looking in.)
I see Pistoclerus and Bacchis right opposite.
CHRYSALUS
Who are upon that other couch?
NICOBULUS
(looking on the other side.)
Wretch that I am, I’m undone.
CHRYSALUS
Do you recognize that person?
NICOBULUS
I do recognize him.
CHRYSALUS
Now tell me, if you please, does that woman seem of handsome appearance?
NICOBULUS
Very much so.
CHRYSALUS
Well, do you take her to be a courtesan?
NICOBULUS
Why not?
CHRYSALUS
You are mistaken.
NICOBULUS
Who is she then, prithee?
CHRYSALUS
You’ll find out from me. indeed, you’ll get no more information to-day.
842
(Enter CLEOMACHUS, at a distance.)
CLEOMACHUS
(aloud.)
Is this Mnesilochus, the son of Nicobulus, by force to detain my own mistress? What proceeding is this?
NICOBULUS
Who’s this?
CHRYSALUS
(aside.)
This Captain’s opportunely come for me.
CLEOMACHUS
He doesn’t consider that I am a soldier, but a woman, who cannot defend myself and mine. But may neither Bellona nor Mars ever put confidence in me, if I don’t put him out of life, if I meet him, or if I don’t make him lose possession of his existence.
NICOBULUS
Chrysalus, who’s this that’s threatening my son?
CHRYSALUS
This is the husband of that woman with whom he is now reclining.
NICOBULUS
What! The husband?
CHRYSALUS
The husband, I say.
NICOBULUS
Prithee, is she married then?
CHRYSALUS
You’ll know before very long.
NICOBULUS
Wretch that I am; I’m utterly undone.
CHRYSALUS
How now? Does Chrysalus seem such a villain to you?
Come, chain me now[*], and do listen to your son. Didn’t I tell you that you would discover what sort of person he is?
