if the day is fixed[*] for pleading your cause with your antagonist, still must you go where they command you, whether you will or no.
PALINURUS
But pray, pray—
PHAEDROMUS
Pray — you are annoying to me.
PALINURUS
Really that is neither pretty nor befitting you to say. You are your own servant[*]; in your fine garb you are showing the light with your waxen torch[*].
PHAEDROMUS
And ought I not to carry that which is gathered by the labour of the little bees—which has its birth in sweets—to my own sweet one, my little honey?
PALINURUS
But whither must I say that you are going?
PHAEDROMUS
If you ask me that, I’ll tell, so that you may know.
PALINURUS
If I make the enquiry, what would you answer me?
PHAEDROMUS
This is the Temple (pointing to it) of Aesculapius.
PALINURUS
That I have known for more than a twelvemonth past.
PHAEDROMUS
Close to it is that door, dear as my very eyes. (Points to the door of CAPPADOX.) Hail to you! door, dear as my very eyes; have you been quite well of late?
PALINURUS
Did a fever leave you[*] but yesterday, or the day before, and did you take your dinner yesterday?
PHAEDROMUS
Are you laughing at me?
PALINURUS
Why then, madman, are you enquiring whether the door is well or not?
PHAEDROMUS
I’ faith, I’ve known it as a door most comely and most discreet: never one word does it whisper; when it is opened, it is silent; and when, by night, she secretly comes out to me, it holds its peace.
PALINURUS
And are you not, Phaedromus, doing, or contemplating the doing of, some deed which is unworthy of yourself or of your family?
Are you not laying a snare for some modest fair one, or for one that should be modest?
PHAEDROMUS
For no one; and may Jupiter not permit me to do so.
