for, behold! Philocomasium is at home.
PERIPLECOMENUS
How, then, hang-dog[*]. Have you seen them both?
SCELEDRUS
I have seen them.
PERIPLECOMENUS
I wish you to bring your master to me.
SCELEDRUS
Indeed, I confess that I deserve a very great punishment; and I own that I have done a wrong to your lady guest. But I thought that she was the lady of my master,
to whom the Captain, my master, gave me as a keeper; for it is not possible for water ever to be drawn more like to water from the same well, than is she to this lady guest of yours. And I will confess, as well, that I did look through the skylight into your house.
PERIPLECOMENUS
Why shouldn’t you confess what I saw myself?
SCELEDRUS
And there saw in your house this lady guest of yours, kissing.
PERIPLECOMENUS
You saw her?
SCELEDRUS
I saw her. Why should I deny what I did see? But I fancied that I had seen Philocomasium.
PERIPLECOMENUS
And did you suppose me to be the very vilest of all men, in allowing[*], with my own knowledge,
such an injury so glaringly to be done to my neighbour?
SCELEDRUS
Now, at length, I am of opinion that it was done foolishly by me, when I come to understand the matter; but still I did not do it with any ill intent.
PERIPLECOMENUS
Yes, but ’twas improperly done; for it befits a person that is a servant to keep his eyes, and hands, and talk, asleep.
SCELEDRUS
Now, if after this day I mutter anything, even what I know for certain, give me over to torture; I’ll give myself up to you. This time, prithee, do pardon me for this.
PERIPLECOMENUS
I shall subdue my feelings, so as to think that it was not done by you with malicious intent.
I will pardon you in this matter.
SCELEDRUS
May the Gods bless you, then!
PERIPLECOMENUS
Troth now, as the Gods may prosper you, really do restrain your tongue henceforth; even that which you do know, don’t know, and don’t you see what you do see.
SCELEDRUS
You counsel me aright; so I’m resolved to do. Are you quite appeased?
PERIPLECOMENUS
Away with you.
SCELEDRUS
Is there aught else you now require of me?
PERIPLECOMENUS
That you would know me not.
