Do you find me a person for me to serve in his sound senses against his weight in double-distilled gold.
PLANESIUM
Kindly fare you well, apple of my eye, for I hear the sound and creaking of doors; I think the keeper[*] is opening the temple. But, prithee, in this same manner
shall we always enjoy our love by stealth?
PHAEDROMUS
Far from it; for I sent my Parasite four days since to Caria to fetch some money; he’ll be here to-day.
PLANESIUM
You are very long in your contriving.
PHAEDROMUS
So may Venus love me, I’ll never allow you to be three days in this house here, before I procure your liberty.
PLANESIUM
Take care to remember it. Once more, before I go hence, take this kiss.
(Kisses him.)
PHAEDROMUS
By heavens, really if a kingdom now were offered me, I should not obtain it with greater pleasure. When shall I see you again?
PLANESIUM
Why now, for that expression get ready the Praetor’s rod[*]; if you love me, purchase my freedom; don’t make any haggling. Take care to prevail with your offer. Kindly adieu! (Goes into the house of the PROCURER.)
PHAEDROMUS
And am I then left behind? Palinurus, I’m Lilled outright.
PALINURUS
And I as well, who am dying with thumps and sleepiness.
PHAEDROMUS
Do you follow me.
(They go into the house of PHAEDROMUS.)
216
(Enter CAPPADOX, from the Temple of AESCULAPIUS.)
CAPPADOX
(to himself.)
I am resolved to depart from this Temple out of doors forthwith, since thus I find[*] the determination of Aesculapius, who sets me at nought, and chooses not that I should be healed. My health is declining, my weakness increases.
For now I walk, girded with my spleen as though with a belt; in my stomach do I seem to be holding a twin offspring. I’m afraid of nothing, but that, in my misery, I should burst asunder in the middle.
(PHAEDROMUS.)
PALINURUS
(speaking to PHAEDROMUS within as he enters.)
If you do right, Phaedromus, you’ll listen to me, and banish this sorrow from your feelings.
You are anxious because your Parasite hasn’t returned from Caria. I think he’ll bring the money; but if he doesn’t bring it, by a chain of iron he couldn’t be withheld from betaking himself to eat at his manger[*].
CAPPADOX
(turning round.)
What person is it that speaks?
PALINURUS
(to himself.)
Whose voice is it that I hear?
