Isn’t this Palinurus, the servant of Phaedromus?
PALINURUS
(aside.)
Who is this fellow with extended paunch, and eyes as green as grass? From his figure I know him; from his complexion I cannot recognize him. O, now I do know him: it’s the Procurer Cappadox. I’ll accost him.
CAPPADOX
Save you, Palinurus.
PALINURUS
O source of villanies, save you; how are you?
CAPPADOX
I’m just alive.
PALINURUS
Just as you deserve, I suppose? But what’s the matter with you?
CAPPADOX
My spleen is killing me, my reins are in torment, my lungs are being torn asunder, my liver is being tortured, my heart-strings are giving way, all my intestines are in pain.
PALINURUS
The liver complaint is afflicting you, then.
CAPPADOX
My spleen is expanded.
PALINURUS
Take walking exercise[*]; that’s the best thing for the spleen.
CAPPADOX
’Tis an easy matter to laugh at the afflicted.
PALINURUS
Well, then, do you hold out[*] for some days until your intestines become putrid. Now, while the humours are pretty sound, if you do that, you yourself might sell for a worse price than those intestines of yours.
CAPPADOX
Prithee, have done with this, and answer me this which I ask; can you possibly form a conjecture on it, if I relate to you what I dreamt last night in my sleep?
PALINURUS
Psha, this—(pointing to himself)—this is the sole person that is really skilled in divination; why, the interpreters of dreams ask advice of myself;
the answer that I have given them, by that opinion they all stand.
251
(Enter a COOK, from the house of PHAEDROUMS.)
COOK
Palinurus, why do you delay? Why are not the things served out for me which are needed for the breakfast to be prepared for the Parasite when he comes.
PALINURUS
Wait, please, until I interpret his dream. (Pointing to CAPPADOX.)
COOK
Why, you your own self, if you’ve had any dream, always apply to me.
