Now this person begins to rave. (To the OLD MAN.) From those expressions do you take care of yourself.
OLD MAN
Why, he’s now really quite favourable in his language, in comparison with what he was a short time since; for, a little while ago, he was saying that his wife was a raving cur.
MENAECHMUS of Epidamnus.
What did I say?
OLD MAN
You were raving, I say.
MENAECHMUS of Epidamnus.
What, I?
OLD MAN
You there; who
threatened as well to ride me down with your yoked steeds.
MENAECHMUS of Epidamnus.
⋯
OLD MAN
I myself saw you do this; I myself accuse you of this.
MENAECHMUS of Epidamnus.
And I know that you stole[*] the sacred crown of Jupiter; and that on that account you were confined in prison; and after you were let out, I know that you were beaten with rods in the bilboes; I know, too, that you murdered your father and sold your mother.
Don’t I give this abuse in answer for your abuse, like a sane person?
OLD MAN
I’ faith, Doctor, whatever you are about to do, prithee, do it quickly. Don’t you see that the man is raving?
DOCTOR.
Do you know what’s the best for you to do? Have him taken to my house.
OLD MAN
Do you think so?
DOCTOR.
Why should I not? There at my own discretion I shall be able to treat the man.
OLD MAN
Do just as you please.
DOCTOR.
(to MENAECHMUS.)
I’ll make you drink hellebore some twenty days.
MENAECHMUS of Epidamnus.
But, hanging up[*], I’ll flog you with a whip for thirty days.
DOCTOR.
(to the OLD MAN.)
Go fetch some men to take him off to my house.
