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.
PALINURUS
(to PLANESIUM.)
Your aid, I pray, you night-watching Venus.
PHAEDROMUS
What, do you still persist, whip-scoundrel? (Strikes hint.)
PLANESIUM
Don’t, there’s a dear, be beating a stone, lest you should hurt your hand.
PALINURUS
You perpetrate, Phaedromus, a flagitious and a shameful deed of great enormity; one who directs you aright, you pummel with your fists; her you are in love with, a mere nonentity.
Is it right that you should behave yourself in this unreasonable manner?
PHAEDROMUS
Find me a reasonable lover against his weight in gold; here, take the gold of me.
