It shall be so, and you shall have what you so greatly wish; be of good courage, don’t fear; there is a certain person who knows where that is which you are seeking.
MILPHIDIPPA
Who’s that I hear at hand?
PALAESTRIO
The sharer of your plans and the partaker of your secrets.
MILPHIDIPPA
I’ faith, then, what I do conceal I don’t conceal.
PALAESTRIO
Aye, but still you don’t conceal it this way.
MILPHIDIPPA
How so?
PALAESTRIO
From the uninitiated you conceal them. I am sure and trustworthy to you.
MILPHIDIPPA
Give me the sign, if you are one of these votaries[*].
PALAESTRIO
A certain lady loves a certain gentleman.
MILPHIDIPPA
Faith, many ladies do that indeed.
PALAESTRIO
But not many ladies send a present from off their fingers.
MILPHIDIPPA
Aye, I know now. You’ve now made the matter level for me instead of steep. But is there a certain person here?
PALAESTRIO
Either he is or he is not.
MILPHIDIPPA
Come aside with me alone, in private.
PALAESTRIO
For a short or for a lengthy conversation?
MILPHIDIPPA
For three words only.
PALAESTRIO(to PYRGOPOLINICES.)
I’ll return to you this instant.
PYRGOPOLINICES
What? Shall I be standing here in the meanwhile, with such charms and valorous deeds, thus to no purpose?
PALAESTRIO
Submit to it and wait; for you am I doing this service.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Make haste; I am tortured with waiting.
PALAESTRIO
You know that commodities of this kind are only wont to be reached step by step.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Well, well; as is most agreable to yourself.
PALAESTRIO
(aside.)
There is no stone more stupid than this fellow. I now return to you.
(To MILPHIDIPPA.) What would you with me?
(Retires with her to distance.)
MILPHIDIPPA
In the way in which I received it of you a short time since, I bring you back your clever lot;
my story is as though she were dying with love for him.
PALAESTRIO
That I understand.
Do you commend his beauty and his appearance, and make mention of his prowess.
MILPHIDIPPA
For that purpose I am armed at all points[*], as I have shown you before already.
On the other hand, do you give all attention, and be on the watch, and take your cue[*] from my words.
