If you salute the Deities, towards the right[*] I think; now this is this altar of Venus before their door.
PHAEDROMUS
I have already vowed to bring me[*] an early breakfast for my Venus[*].
PALINURUS
What? Will you then be giving up yourself as a breakfast to Venus?
PHAEDROMUS
Myself, and you, and all of these.
(Pointing to the SLAVES.)
PALINURUS
Then you would have Venus to be sick outright.
PHAEDROMUS
(to an ATTENDANT.)
Here, boy, give me the bowl.
PALINURUS
What are you going to do?
PHAEDROMUS
You’ll know directly. An old hag is in the habit of sleeping here, as the keeper of the door; the name of the Procuress is Much-bibber and Neat-bibber.
PALINURUS
Just as you would speak of a flagon, in which Chian wine[*] is wont to be.
PHAEDROMUS
What need is there of words? She is a most vinous soul;
and the very moment that I’ve sprinkled this door with the wine, she knows by the smell that I’m here, and opens it forthwith.
PALINURUS
Is it for her the bowl is brought with the wine?
PHAEDROMUS
Unless you object.
PALINURUS
I’ faith, I do object; for I’d rather have it broken about him who has brought it. I fancied it was brought for ourselves.
PHAEDROMUS
Why don’t you hold your tongue?
If any’s left after her, it will be enough for ourselves.
PALINURUS
What river is it, pray, that the sea does not receive?
PHAEDROMUS
Follow me this way, Palinurus, to the door; do you be obedient to me.
