Prithee, do you jeer me?
LYCO
I suppose that you are of the family of the Coclites[*]; for they are one-eyed.
CURCULIO
This was knocked out for me by a catapulta,
at Sicyon.
LYCO
What matters it to me, pray, if it had been knocked out by a broken pot with cinders in it?
CURCULIO
(aside.)
This fellows a wizard, surely[*]; he tells the truth, for such catapultas are often directed at me.
(Aloud.)
Young man, as I bear this mark on my face[*] in the service of the public, prithee dont be uncivil[*] to me.
LYCO
May I then inforize[*] you, if I may not incomitiatize?
CURCULIO
You shant be inforizing me, indeed; and really I dont care at all about your Forum or your Comitia. But if you can point me out this person that Im seeking,
you will be doing me a real and a great service. Im looking for Lyco the banker.
LYCO
Tell me why you are now seeking for him, or, of what country are you?
CURCULIO
Ill tell you: Im come from Therapontigonus Platagidorus, the Captain.
LYCO
I faith, I know the name: (aside) for with that same name,
when I wrote, I filled four whole sides[*]. (To CURCULIO.) But why are you seeking for Lyco?
CURCULIO
(showing the letter.)
Ive been ordered to deliver this letter to him.
LYCO
What person are you?
CURCULIO
His freed-man, whom all call Summanus[*].
LYCO
Summanus, my greetings. But why Summanus? Let me know.
