Her things have been some time in readiness. Hearkye, Palaestrio, take some assistants with you to carry to the ship her golden trinkets, her furniture, apparel, all her precious things. All the articles are already packed up which I gave her.
PALAESTRIO
I’ll go.
(Goes into the house.)
PLEUSICLES
Troth now, prithee, do make haste.
PYRGOPOLINICES
There shall be no delay. Pray, what is it that has been done[*] with your eye?
PLEUSICLES
Troth, hut I have my eye.
(Points to the right one.)
PYRGOPOLINICES
But the left one I mean.
PLEUSICLES
I’ll tell you. On account of the sea, I use this eye less; but if I kept away from the sea[*], I should use the one like the other.
But they are detaining me too long.
PYRGOPOLINICES
See, here they are coming out.
1311
(Enter PALAESTRIO and PHILOCOMASIUM from the CAPTAIN’S house.)
PALAESTRIO(to PHILOCOMASIUM.)
Prithee, when will you this day make an end of your weeping?
PHILOCOMASIUM
What can I do but weep? I am going away hence where I have spent my days most happily.
PALAESTRIO
See, there’s the man that has come from your mother and sister.

(pointing to PLEUSICLES.)
PHILOCOMASIUM
I see him.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Palaestrio, do you hear?
PALAESTRIO
What is your pleasure?
PYRGOPOLINICES
Aren’t you ordering those presents to be brought out which I gave her?
PLEUSICLES
Health to you, Philocomasium.
PHILOCOMASIUM
And health to you.
PLEUSICLES
Your mother and sister bade me give their love to you.
PHILOCOMASIUM
Heaven prosper them.
PLEUSICLES
They beg you to set out, so that, while the wind is fair, they may set sail. But if your mother’s eyes had been well, she would have come[*] together with me.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I’ll go; although I do it with regret—duty compels me.
PLEUSICLES
You act wisely.
PYRGOPOLINICES
If she had not been passing her life with myself, this day she would have been a blockhead.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I am distracted at this, that I am estranged from such a man. For you are able to make any woman what-ever abound in wit; and because I was living with you, for that reason I was of a very lofty spirit. I see that I must lose that loftiness of mind.
(Pretends to cry.)
PYRGOPOLINICES
Don’t weep.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I can’t help it when I look upon you.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Be of good courage.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I know what pain it is to me.
PALAESTRIO
I really don’t wonder now, Philocomasium, if you were here with happiness to yourself, when I, a servant—as I look at him, weep because we are parting (pretends to cry), so much have his beauty, his manners, his valour, captivated your feelings.
