Be sure to remember my instructions.
PHILOCOMASIUM
(aside)
It’s strange you should so often remind me.
PALAESTRIO
(aside)
But I fear you may not prove cunning enough.
PHILOCOMASIUM(aside)
Give me even ten scholars, though far from artful, I could instruct them so as to prove artful; in me alone is there a superabundance of artfulness;
come, then, now put your plans in force; I’ll step aside here.
(Steps aside.)
PALAESTRIO
What have you to say, Scledrus?
SCELEDRUS
(not lifting up his eyes)
I’m about this business of mine; I have got ears, say what you please.
PALAESTRIO
I think that in that self-same position[*] you will have to die outside the gates,
when, with hands outstretched, you will be carrying your cross.
SCELEDRUS
For what reason so?
PALAESTRIO
Just look on your left hand; who is that lady?
SCELEDRUS(looking.)
O ye immortal Gods, it really is the lady of my master!
PALAESTRIO
I’ faith, so she seems to me as well. Do then, now, since so you would have it—
SCELEDRUS
Do what?
PALAESTRIO
Die this very instant.
PHILOCOMASIUM
(advancing.)
Where is this faithful servant, who has falsely accused me in my innocence
of this most heinous crime?
PALAESTRIO
See, here he is; ’tis he that told it me,—assuredly ’twas he.
PHILOCOMASIUM
Villain, did you say that you had seen me next door here kissing?
PALAESTRIO
Besides, he said it was with some strange young man.
SCELEDRUS
I’ faith, I did. say so, undoubtedly.
PHILOCOMASIUM
You, saw me?
SCELEDRUS
Yes, with these self-same eyes.
