Open you both these doors[*], before I shall with knocking cause the destruction, piecemeal, of the doors.
HEGIO(apart.)
I’d like much to address the fellow. (Aloud.) Ergasilus!
ERGASILUS
Who’s calling Ergasilus?
HEGIO
Turn round, and look at me.
ERGASILUS(not seeing who it is.)
A thing that Fortune does not do for you, nor ever will do, you bid me to do.
But who is it.
HEGIO
Look round at me. ’Tis Hegio.
ERGASILUS(turning round.)
O me! Best of the very best of men, as many as exist, you have arrived opportunely.
HEGIO
You’ve met with some one at the harbour to dine with; through that you are elevated.
ERGASILUS
Give me your hand.
HEGIO
My hand?
ERGASILUS
Give me your hand, I say, this instant.
HEGIO
Take it.
(Giving him his hand.)
ERGASILUS
Rejoice.
HEGIO
Why should I rejoice?
ERGASILUS
Because I bid you; come now, rejoice.
HEGIO
I’ faith, my sorrows exceed my rejoicings.
ERGASILUS
’Tis not so, as you shall find; I’ll at once drive away every spot of sorrow[*] from your body. Rejoice without restraint.
HEGIO
I do rejoice, although I don’t at all know why I should rejoice.
ERGASILUS
You do rightly; now order—
HEGIO
Order what?
ERGASILUS
A large fire to be made.
HEGIO
A large fire?
ERGASILUS
So I say, that a huge one it must be.
HEGIO
What, you vulture, do you suppose that for your sake I’m going to set my house on fire?
ERGASILUS
Don’t be angry. Will you order, or will you not order, the pots to be put on, and the saucepans to be washed out, the bacon and the dainties to be made warm in the heated cooking-stoves, another one, too, to go purchase the fish?
HEGIO
This fellow’s dreaming while awake.
ERGASILUS
Another to buy pork, and lamb, and pullets.
HEGIO
You understand how to feed well, if you had the means.
ERGASILUS
Gammons of bacon, too, and lampreys, spring pickled tunny-fish, mackerel, and sting-ray; large fish, too, and soft cheese.
