Request her, then, to approach.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Since you have entreated it, I have prevailed upon my mind not to detest her just like other women.
MILPHIDIPPA
I’ faith she wouldn’t be able to utter a word if she were to come near you; while she was looking at you, her eyes have in the meantime tied her tongue.
PYRGOPOLINICES
I see that this woman’s disorder must be cured.
MILPHIDIPPA
See how terrified she is since she beheld you.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Even armed men are the same; don’t wonder at a woman being so. But what does she wish me to do?
MILPHIDIPPA
You to come to her house; she wishes to live and to pass her life with you.
PYRGOPOLINICES
What!—I come home to her, when she is a married woman? Her husband is to be stood in fear of.
MILPHIDIPPA
Why,—for your sake, she has turned her husband out of her house.
PYRGOPOLINICES
How? How could she do so?
MILPHIDIPPA
The house was her marriage-portion.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Was it so?
MILPHIDIPPA
It was so, on my word.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Bid her go home; I’ll be there just now.
MILPHIDIPPA
Take care, and don’t keep her in expectation; don’t torment her feelings.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Not I, indeed. Do you go then.
MILPHIDIPPA
We are going. (ACROTELEUTIUM and MILPHIDIPPA go into the house of PERIPLECOMENUS.)
PYRGOPOLINICES
But what do I see?
PALAESTRIO
What do you see?
PYRGOPOLINICES
See there, some one is coming, I know not who, but in a sailor’s dress.
PALAESTRIO
He is surely wanting us, now; really, it is the shipmaster.
PYRGOPOLINICES
He’s come, I suppose, to fetch her.
PALAESTRIO
I fancy so.

(Enter PLEUSICLES, at a distance, in a Sailor’s dress.)
PLEUSICLES(to himself.)
Did I not know that another man in other ways
has done many a thing unbecomingly on account of love, I should be more ashamed by reason of love for me to be going in this garb. But since I have learned that many persons by reason of love have committed many actions, disgraceful and estranged from what is good, ⋯ for I pass by how Achilles suffered[*] his comrades to be slain—
But there’s Palaestrio, he’s standing with the Captain. My talk must now be changed for another kind. Woman is surely born of tardiness itself. For every other delay, which is a delay just as much, seems a less delay than that which is on account of a woman.
I really think that this is done merely from habit. But I shall call for this Philocomasium. I’ll knock at the door then. Hallo! is there any one here?
(Knocks at the CAPTAIN’S door.)
PALAESTRIO
Young man—what is it? What do you want? Why are you knocking?
PLEUSICLES
I’m come to inquire for Philocomasium; I’m come from her mother. If she’s for going, let her set off.
She is delaying us all; we wish to weigh anchor.
