Why so?
TRANIO
You can understand nothing.
Why, that those may not be able to take refuge here whom he shall give up for examination, I’ll keep guard here for you; so that the examination may not come to nothing.
THEUROPIDES
Get up from the altar.
TRANIO
By no means.
THEUROPIDES
Prithee, don’t you take possession of the altar.
TRANIO
Why so?
THEUROPIDES
You shall hear; why, because I especially want this, for them to be taking refuge there. Do let them; so much the more easily shall I get him fined before the judge.
TRANIO
What you intend to do, do it. Why do you wish to sow further strife? You don’t know how ticklish a thing it is to go to law.
THEUROPIDES
Just get up, (beckoning) this way; it’s, then, to ask your advice upon something that I want you.
TRANIO
Still, as I am, I’ll give my advice from this spot: my wits are much sharper when I’m sittings[*]. Besides, advice is given with higher sanction from holy places[*].
THEUROPIDES
Get up; don’t be trifling. Just look me in the face.
TRANIO
(looking at him.)
I am looking.
THEUROPIDES
Do you see me?
TRANIO
I do see—that if any third person were to step in here, he would die of hunger.
THEUROPIDES
Why so?
TRANIO
Because he would get no profit; for, upon my faith, we are both artful ones.
THEUROPIDES
I’m undone!
TRANIO
What’s the matter with you?
THEUROPIDES
You have deceived me.
TRANIO
How so, pray?
THEUROPIDES
You’ve wiped me clean[*].
TRANIO
Consider, please, if it wasn’t well done; is your nose running still?
THEUROPIDES
Aye, all my brains besides have you been wiping out of my head as well. For all your villanies I have discovered from their very roots; and not from the roots, indeed, i’ faith, but even from beneath the very roots.
Never this day, by my troth, will you have planned all this without being punished.
I shall at once, you villain, order fire and faggots[*] to be placed around you.
TRANIO
Don’t do it; for it’s my way to be sweeter boiled than roasted.
THEUROPIDES
Upon my faith, I’ll make an example of you.
TRANIO
Because I please you, you select me for an example.
