We are come. LYSIMACHUS Be off! A COOK. How, be off? LYSIMACHUS (in a low voice.) Hush! Be off! A COOK. What, I, be off? LYSIMACHUS Be off, I say. A COOK. Are you not going to have a dinner? LYSIMACHUS We are full already. DORIPPA But— LYSIMACHUS (aside.) I’m utterly undone. DORIPPA What say you? Have those persons ordered these things to be brought to you as well, between whom you were appointed arbitrator? A COOK. Is this person (pointing to DORIPPA) your mistress, whom a little time since you told me you were in love with, when you were buying the provisions? LYSIMACHUS Won’t you hold your tongue? A COOK. A very pretty figure of a woman! I’ faith, she does love a sweetheart. LYSIMACHUS Won’t you be off to perdition? A COOK. She’s not amiss. LYSIMACHUS But you are amiss. A COOK. I’ troth, I do fancy she’s a nice bed-fellow. LYSIMACHUS Won’t you be off? I’m not the person that hired you just now. A COOK. How’s that? Nay but, upon my faith, you are that very man. LYSIMACHUS (aside.) Alas wretch that I am! A COOK. Your wife’s in the country, I suppose, whom you were saying a little time ago you hated full as much as vipers. LYSIMACHUS I, said that to you? A COOK. Aye, to me, upon my faith. LYSIMACHUS So may Jupiter love me, wife, I never did say that. DORIPPA Do you deny that as well? A COOK. (to DORIPPA.) He didn’t say he hated you, but his wife. DORIPPA This is made clear, that you detest me. LYSIMACHUS But I deny it. A COOK. And he said that his wife was in the country.
