And make you haste to disgorge the money with all despatch.
CAPPADOX
(to PHAEDROMUS.)
What have you to do with me? (To the CAPTAIN.) Or what have you?
THERAPONTIGONUS
Because this day I shall be making a javelin of you, discharged from a catapulta,
and twist you with the string[*], just as the catapultas are in the habit of doing.
PHAEDROMUS
I’ll this day make a coxcomb of you, to be sleeping with a puppy[*] in your bed—an iron one, I mean.
CAPPADOX
But I’ll make you both to be rotting in a strong-barred prison.
THERAPONTIGONUS
Seize him by the throat, and away with him to extreme torture.
PHAEDROMUS
However that is, he’ll be going there of his own accord.
(The CAPTAIN seizes him.)
CAPPADOX
O Gods and men, your aid!
that I, uncondemned, and without evidence against me, should thus be dragged along! Prithee, Planesium, and you, Phaedromus, do give me assistance.
PLANESIUM
Brother, I do beseech you, don’t ruin him uncondemned; he treated me kindly and modestly at his house.
THERAPONTIGONUS
That was through no inclination of his own; give you thanks to this Aesculapius[*] (pointing to the Temple) that you’ve preserved your chastity;
for if he had been well, he’d long ago have packed you off wherever he could.
PHAEDROMUS
Now attend to me, both of you, if I can arrange between you. (To the CAPTAIN.) You let him go. Procurer, come you this way. I’ll pronounce my opinion, if indeed you are ready to abide by what I shall decide you should do.
THERAPONTIGONUS
We leave it to you.
(He lets go of the PROCURER.)
CAPPADOX
So long, i’ faith, as you give a decision to the effect that no one is to take the money away from me.
THERAPONTIGONUS
What, not that which you promised?
CAPPADOX
I, promised? How?
