Prithee, do let me embrace you before I depart?
PYRGOPOLINICES
By all means
PHILOCOMASIUM(embracing him.)
O my eyes! O my life!
PALAESTRIO
Do hold up the woman, I entreat you, lest she should fall.
(He takes hold of her, and she pretends to faint.)
PYRGOPOLINICES
What means this?
PALAESTRIO
Because, after she had quitted you, she suddenly became faint, poor thing.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Run in and fetch some water.
PALAESTRIO
I want no water; but I had rather you would keep at a distance. Prithee, don’t you interfere till she comes to.
PYRGOPOLINICES(observing PLEUSICLES, who is holding PHILOCOMASIUM in his arm.)
They have their heads too closely in contact between them;
I don’t like it; he is soldering his lips[*] to hers. What the plague are you about?
PLEUSICLES
I was trying whether she was breathing or not.
PYRGOPOLINICES
You ought to have applied your ear then.
PLEUSICLES
If you had rather, I’ll let her go.
PYRGOPOLINICES
No, I don’t care; do you support her.
PALAESTRIO
To my misery, I’m quite distracted.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Go and bring here from in-doors all the things that I have given her.
PALAESTRIO
And even now, household God, do I salute thee before I depart;
my fellow-servants, both male and female, all farewell, and happy may you live; prithee, though absent, among yourselves bestow your blessings upon me as well.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Come, Palaestrio, be of good courage.
PALAESTRIO
Alas! alas! I cannot but weep since from you I must depart.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Bear it with patience.
PHILOCOMASIUM(feigning to recover.)
Ha! how’s this? What means it? Hail, O light!
PLEUSICLES
Are you recovered now?
PHILOCOMASIUM
Prithee, what person am I embracing? I’m undone. Am I myself?
PLEUSICLES(in a low voice.)
Fear not, my delight.
PYRGOPOLINICES
What means all this?
PALAESTRIO
Just now she swooned away here. ⋯ I fear and dread that this at last may take place[*] too openly.
PYRGOPOLINICES
What is that you say?
PALAESTRIO
I fear that some one may turn it to your discredit, while all these things are being carried after us through the city.
PYRGOPOLINICES
I have given away my own property, and not theirs. I care but little for other people. Be off then, go with the blessing of the Gods.
