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 Ill 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 CAPTAINs house.)
LUCRIO
Sceledrus is not at leisure.
PALAESTRIO
Why so?
LUCRIO
Hes fast asleep, gulping[*].
PALAESTRIO
How, gulping?
LUCRIO
Hes 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 dont ask you that, you vagabond. Step this way: youre undone now, unless I know the truth. Did you draw the wine for him?
LUCRIO
I did not draw it.
PALAESTRIO
Do you deny it?
LUCRIO
I faith, I do deny it undoubtedly; for he charged me not to tell. I really didnt just[*] draw for him eight half pints into a pitcher, and, when drawn, he didnt just drink it hot[*], at his breakfast.
PALAESTRIO
And you didnt just drink as well?
LUCRIO
The Gods confound me if I did drinkif I could drink.
PALAESTRIO
Why so?
