Away with him further off from me.
ARISTOPHONTES
Do you say, you whipp’d knave, that I am mad, and do you declare that I have followed my own father with spears? And that I have that malady, that it’s necessary for me to be spit upon[*]?
HEGIO
Don’t be dismayed; that malady afflicts many a person
to whom it has proved wholesome to be spit upon, and has been of service to them.
ARISTOPHONTES
Why, what do you say? Do you, too, credit him?
HEGIO
Credit him in what?
ARISTOPHONTES
That I am mad?
TYNDARUS
Do you see him, with what a furious aspect he’s looking at you? ’Twere best to retire, Hegio; it is as I said, his frenzy grows apace; have a care for yourself.
HEGIO
I thought that he was mad, the moment that he called you Tyndarus.
TYNDARUS
Why, he’s sometimes ignorant of his own name, and doesn’t know what it is.
HEGIO
But he even said that you were his intimate friend.
TYNDARUS
So far from that, I never saw him. Why, really, Alcmaeon, and Orestes, and Lycurgus[*] besides, are my friends on the same principle that he is.
ARISTOPHONTES
Villain, and do you dare speak ill of me, as well? Do I not know you?
HEGIO
I’ faith, it really is very clear
that you don’t know him, who are calling him Tyndarus, instead of Philocrates. Him whom you see, you don’t know; you are addressing him as the person whom you don’t see.
ARISTOPHONTES
On the contrary this fellow’s saying that he is the person who he is not; and he says that he is not the person who he really is.
TYNDARUS
You’ve been found, of course, to excel Philocrates in truthfulness.
ARISTOPHONTES
By my troth, as I understand the matter, you’ve been found to brazen out the truth by lying. But i’ faith, prithee, come then, look at me.
TYNDARUS(looking at him.)
Well!
ARISTOPHONTES
Say, now; do you deny that you are Tyndarus?
TYNDARUS
I do deny it, I say.
ARISTOPHONTES
Do you say that you are Philocrates?
TYNDARUS
I do say so, I say.
ARISTOPHONTES(to HEGIO.)
And do you believe him?
HEGIO
More, indeed, than either you or myself. For he, in fact, who you say that he is
(pointing to TYNDARUS), has set out hence to-day for Elis, to this person’s father.
ARISTOPHONTES
What father, when he’s a slave[*].
TYNDARUS
And so are
you a slave, and yet you were a free man; and I trust that so I shall be, if I restore his son here to liberty.
ARISTOPHONTES
How say you, villain? Do you say that you were born a free man [liber]?
TYNDARUS
I really do not say that I am Liber[*], but that I am Philocrates.
