I’ll make you more full of holes than a rat’s skin[*] when caught in a trap. I’ faith, for my part, some time since I found out what suspicion it was that tormented you; namely, that he was with that wife of yours.
CLEOMACHUS
Yes; and so he is.
CHRYSALUS
So may Jupiter, Juno, Ceres, Minerva, Hope, Latona, Ops, Virtue, Venus, Castor, Pollux, Mars, Mercury, Hercules,
Summanus[*], the Sun, Saturn, and all the Deities, prosper me, he neither reclines with her, nor walks, nor kisses, nor does that which is wont to be reported.
NICOBULUS
(aside.)
How he does swear! He’s saving me, however, by his perjury.
CLEOMACHUS
Where then, at this moment, is Mnesilochus?
CHRYSALUS
His father has sent him into the country.
And she has gone hence to the citadel, to see the temple of Minerva. The door’s open now; go in, and see if he’s there.
CLEOMACHUS
I’ll be off to the Forum next.
CHRYSALUS
Or rather, by my troth, to very perdition.
CLEOMACHUS
Am I to demand this gold to-day?
CHRYSALUS
Demand it, and go hang yourself; don’t you suppose, you worthless fellow, that we shall be entreating of you. (Exit CLEOMACHUS.)
