Palinurus, Palinurus!
PALINURUS
Say on; why is it that you call upon Palinurus?
PHAEDROMUS
(aside.)
She is a charming one.
PALINURUS
(aside.)
Aye, too charming.
PHAEDROMUS
I am a God.
PALINURUS
Why, no—a mortal, of no great value.
PHAEDROMUS
What have you seen, or what will you see, more nearly to be compared with the Gods?
PALINURUS
You are not in your senses, master; a thing that’s grievous to me.
PHAEDROMUS
You are not sufficiently respectful to me: hold your tongue.
PALINURUS
The person that sees[*] the object which he loves, and enjoys not the opportunity while he may, is one who torments his own self.
PHAEDROMUS
Rightly does he rebuke me; really there’s nothing which for this long time past I have more eagerly desired.
PLANESIUM
Clasp me, embrace me then.
PHAEDROMUS
(embracing her.)
This, too, is a reason for which I could wish to live; because your master restrains, you, in secret do I court you.
PLANESIUM
Restrain me? He neither can restrain me, nor will he restrain me, unless death should separate my soul from you.
PHAEDROMUS
Let monarchs keep their kingdoms to themselves, the rich their riches to themselves, to themselves their honors, to themselves their prowess, to themselves their combats, to themselves their battles;
so long as they abstain from envying me, let each one of them keep what is his own.
PALINURUS
(aside.)
Of a truth, I cannot refrain from giving a lecture to my master; for, really, it is good to love in a moderate degree; to distraction, it is not good; but to love to entire distraction, is the thing that my master’s doing.
(Aloud.)
What say you, sir? Have you made a vow, Phaedromus, you’d watch the night through for Venus? For really, upon my faith, before very long hence the dawn will be breaking.
PHAEDROMUS
Do hold your tongue.
PALINURUS
Why hold my tongue? What, are you going to sleep?
PHAEDROMUS
I am asleep; don’t you make a noise.
PALINURUS
Why, but you’re broad awake.
PHAEDROMUS
Aye, but after my own fashion I’m asleep; this is my slumber.
PALINURUS
(to PLANESIUM.)
A word with you, madam; ’tis thoughtlessness to treat amiss one who deserves it not.
PLANESIUM
You would be angry, if, when you are eating, he were to drive you away[*] from your food.
PALINURUS
(aside.)
It’s all over with him. I see that these two are equally in love to distraction; and both of them are mad. D’ye see how intensely they hug each other? They cannot embrace enough. (Addressing them.) Are you going to part yet?
PLANESIUM
No human being has blessings that last[*] for ever. To this pleasure, then, is that plague added.
PALINURUS
What say you, you shocking hussy[*]? What, you little tipsy ninny[*], are even you with your owlish eyes[*] to be calling me a plague, you whipper-snapper?
PHAEDROMUS
What, you abusing my own Venus? And really, is a slave well trounced with the rod to be commencing a discussion with myself? But, by the powers, you’ve surely said that to your own misfortune.
(Strikes him.)
There, take that, by way of punishment for this abusive language, that you may be able to put a check upon your speech.
