Sceledrus, Sceledrus, what one man is there on earth more impudent than yourself? Who more than yourself has been born with the Deities hostile and enraged?
SCELEDRUS
What’s the matter?
PALAESTRIO
Do you want those eyes of yours gouged out, with which you see what never existed?
SCELEDRUS
How, what never existed?
PALAESTRIO
I would not buy your life at the price of a rotten nut.
SCELEDRUS
Why, what’s the matter?
PALAESTRIO
What’s the matter, do you ask?
SCELEDRUS
And why shouldn’t I ask?
PALAESTRIO
Why don’t you beg for that tongue of yours to be cut out, that prates so at random?
SCELEDRUS
Why should I beg for that?
PALAESTRIO
Why, Philocomasium is there at home, she whom
you were saying that you had seen next door kissing and toying with another man.
SCELEDRUS
’Tis a wonder that you are in the habit of feeding on darnel[*], with wheat at so low a price.
PALAESTRIO
Why so?
SCELEDRUS
Because you are so dim of sight.
PALAESTRIO
You gallows-bird, ’tis you, indeed, that are blind, with a vengeance, and not dim of sight; for, sure enough, there she is at home.
SCELEDRUS
How? At home?
PALAESTRIO
At home, i’ faith, undoubtedly.
SCELEDRUS
Be off with you; you are playing with me, Palaestrio
PALAESTRIO
My hands are dirty, then.
SCELEDRUS
How so?
PALAESTRIO
Because I am playing with dirt.
SCELEDRUS
A mischief on your head.
