But you, my dear Gymnasium, if in my absence Alcesimarchus shall come, don’t you chide him roughly; however he has deserved of myself, still he has my affections; but, prithee, act gently, so that you mayn’t say anything that may cause him pain. Take the keys (giving them to her) ; if you have need to take out anything for use, take it out. I wish to go— GYMNASIUM (weeping.) How you have drawn tears from me. SILENIUM My dear Gymnasium, kindly, farewell. GYMNASIUM Take care of yourself, there’s a dear. Prithee, will you go in this dishabille? (Pointing to her dress.) SILENIUM It’s right that such neglect should attend upon my prospects thus disarranged. GYMNASIUM At least do lift up that outer garment Outer garment : Amiculum was a general name for the outer garment, such as the pallium, toga, or chlamys, in contradistinction to the tunica, or under-clothing. . SILENIUM Let it be dragged, while I myself am being dragged down. GYMNASIUM Since so it pleases you, fare you well and prosper. SILENIUM If I could, I would.
