How is it? Do you like it?
PROCURESS
I do like it.
PALINURUS
And I, too, should like to goad with a spur as well.
PHAEDROMUS(aside to PALINURUS.)
Don’t you—do hold your tongue.
PALINURUS
I’ll hold my tongue; (the old woman drinks) but see, the rainbow’s drinking[*]; I’ faith, I do believe it will rain to-day.
PHAEDROMUS
Troth now, I’m quite undone; what first to say to her I know not.
PALINURUS
Why, the same thing that you said to me.
PHAEDROMUS
What’s that?
PALINURUS
Say that you’re quite undone.
PHAEDROMUS
May the Gods confound you.
PALINURUS
Say so to her.
PHAEDROMUS
Am I to say then to her—?
PALINURUS
Say what?
PHAEDROMUS
That I’m quite undone.
PALINURUS
Well then, say so.
PHAEDROMUS
Old lady, do listen. I wish you to know this; to my sorrow, I’m quite undone.
PROCURESS
But, i’ faith, for my part, I’m altogether brought to life. But why is it that you are pleased to say you are quite undone?
PHAEDROMUS
Because I’m deprived of the object which I love. (Pretends to weep)
