If you had commissioned the Sun himself to search them out, he couldn’t have found, better than myself, two more cleverly suited for this business. Be of good courage about it.
PALAESTRIO
Take you every care then. There is need of despatch.
(Exit PERIPLECOMENUS.)
PALAESTRIO
Now, do you listen, Pleusicles.[*]
PLEUSICLES
I am all attention to you.
PALAESTRIO
Take care of this. When the Captain comes home, do you remember not to call Philocomasium by her name.
PLEUSICLES
What am I to call her?
PALAESTRIO
Glycera.
PLEUSICLES
The same, you mean, that was agreed upon a little time since.
PALAESTRIO
Hush!—Be off.
PLEUSICLES
I’ll remember; but still I don’t know what use it is to keep it in my mind.
PALAESTRIO
But I will tell you, at the time, when occasion shall require. Meanwhile, be quiet; so that, bye and bye, when he too shall be acting his part[*], you may, on the instant, be minding your cue.
PLEUSICLES
I’ll go in then.
PALAESTRIO
Go, and do take care steadily to follow my instructions.
(PLEUSICLES goes into the house of PERIPLECOMENUS.)

PALAESTRIO
What mighty turmoils I create! What mighty engines I do set to work! This very day I shall take his mistress away from the Captain,
if my soldiers are only well drilled[*]. But I’ll call him out. (Goes to the door and calls.) Hallo! Sceledrus, if you are not busy, come out to the front of the house; I, Palaestrio, call you.
(Enter LUCRIO from the CAPTAIN’s house.)
LUCRIO
Sceledrus is not at leisure.
PALAESTRIO
Why so?
LUCRIO
He’s fast asleep, gulping[*].
PALAESTRIO
How, gulping?
LUCRIO
He’s snoring, ’twas that I meant to say:
but, because ’tis very like gulping when you are snoring— ⋯
PALAESTRIO
What ! Is Sceledrus asleep in-doors?
LUCRIO
Not with his nose, in fact; for with that he is calling out loud enough.
PALAESTRIO
He has taken a cup by stealth;[*] the butler has lately tapped a cask of nardine[*].
Oho! you rascal, you are his deputy-butler[*]. Oho!
LUCRIO
What do you mean?
PALAESTRIO
How has he thought fit to go to sleep?
LUCRIO
With his eyes, I suppose.
PALAESTRIO
I don’t ask you that, you vagabond. Step this way: you’re undone now, unless I know the truth. Did you draw the wine for him?
LUCRIO
I did not draw it.
