Away with you to utter perdition! You are trifling with me.
ERGASILUS
So may holy Gluttony[*] love me, Hegio, and so may she ever dignify me with her name, I did see
HEGIO
My son?
ERGASILUS
Your son, and my good Genius.
HEGIO
That Elean captive, too?
ERGASILUS
Yes, by Apollo[*]
HEGIO
The slave, too? My slave Stalagmus, he that stole my son—?
ERGASILUS
Yes, by Cora.
HEGIO
So long a time ago?
ERGASILUS
Yes, by Praeneste!
HEGIO
Is he arrived?
ERGASILUS
Yes, by Signia!
HEGIO
For sure?
ERGASILUS
Yes, by Phrysinone!
HEGIO
Have a care, if you please.
ERGASILUS
Yes, by Alatrium!
HEGIO
Why are you swearing by foreign cities?
ERGASILUS
Why, because they are just as disagreable as you were declaring your fare to be.
HEGIO
Woe be to you!
ERGASILUS
Because that you dont believe me at all in what I say in sober earnestness. But of what country was Stalagmus, at the time when ne departed hence?
HEGIO
A Sicilian.
ERGASILUS
But now he is not a Sicilianhe is a Boian; he has got a Boian woman.[*] A wife, I suppose, has been given to him for the sake of obtaining children.
HEGIO
Tell me, have you said these words to me in good earnest?
ERGASILUS
In good earnest.
HEGIO
Immortal Gods, I seem to be born again, if you are telling the truth.
ERGASILUS
Do you say so? Will you still entertain doubts, when I have solemnly sworn to you? In fine, Hegio, if you have little confidence in my oath, go yourself to the harbour and see.
HEGIO
Im determined to do so. Do you arrange in-doors whats requisite. Use, ask for, take from my larder what you like; I appoint you cellarman.
ERGASILUS
Now, by my troth, if I have not prophesied truly to you, do you comb me out with a cudgel.
HEGIO
Ill find you in victuals to the end, if you are telling me the truth.
ERGASILUS
Whence shall it be?
