Speak out as boldly as you please.
EPIDICUS
How say you? Have you been well all along?
THESPRIO
In a varied way.
EPIDICUS
Those who are well in a varied way[*], a race of men of the goat kind or of the panther kind, don’t please me.
THESPRIO
What do you wish me to tell you but that which is fact?
EPIDICUS
To answer to these things[*] fairly;
how’s our master’s son? Is he well?
THESPRIO
Stout as a boxer and an athlete.
EPIDICUS
You’ve brought me joyous tidings on your arrival. But where is he?
THESPRIO
I came here together with him.
EPIDICUS
Where is he then? Unless, perchance, you’ve brought him in your wallet, or, perhaps, in your knapsack.
THESPRIO
May the Gods confound you!
EPIDICUS
I want to make enquiries of you. Lend me your attention; attention shall be lent you in return.
THESPRIO
You say what’s law[*].
EPIDICUS
It becomes me to do so.
THESPRIO
But why now are you acting the Praetor over us?
EPIDICUS
What other person in Athens will you say is more deserving of it than I?
THESPRIO
But still, Epidicus, one thing is wanting for your Praetorship.
EPIDICUS
What, pray?
THESPRIO
You shall know; two lictors[*] two osier bundles of twigs—
EPIDICUS
(shaking his fist at him.)
Woe unto you! But how say you—?
THESPRIO
What is it you ask?
EPIDICUS
Where are the arms[*] of Stratippocles?
THESPRIO
I’ faith, they’ve gone over to the enemy.
EPIDICUS
What, his arms?
THESPRIO
Aye, and quickly too.
EPIDICUS
Do you say that seriously?
THESPRIO
Seriously I say it; the enemy have got them.
EPIDICUS
By my troth, a disgraceful affair.
THESPRIO
Still, before now, other persons have done the same. This affair will turn out to his honor[*].
