I am awake; give me something to drink.
DELPHIUM
Awake; the father of Philolaches has arrived from abroad.
CALLIDAMATES
I hope his father’s well.
PHILOLACHES
He is well indeed; but I am utterly undone.
CALLIDAMATES
You, utterly undone? How can that be?
PHILOLACHES
By heavens! do get up, I beg of you; my father has arrived.
CALLIDAMATES
Your father has come? Bid him go back again. What business had he to come back here so soon?
PHILOLACHES
What am I to do? My father will, just now, be coming and unfortunately finding me amid drunken carousals, and the house full of revellers and women. It’s a shocking bad job,
to be digging a well at the last moment, just when thirst has gained possession of your throat; just as I, on the arrival of my father, wretch that I am, am now enquiring what I am to do.
TRANIO
(pointing at CALLIDAMATES.)
Why look, he has laid down his head and gone to sleep. Do arouse him.
PHILOLACHES
(shaking him.)
Will you awake now? My father, I tell you, will be here this instant.
CALLIDAMATES
How say you? Your father? Give me my shoes, that I may take up arms. On my word, I’ll kill your father this instant.
PHILOLACHES
(seizing hold of him.)
You’re spoiling the whole business;
do hold your tongue.
(To DELPHIUM.) Prithee, do carry him off in your arms into the house.
CALLIDAMATES(To DELPHIUM, who is lifting him up.)
Upon my faith, I’ll be making an utensil of you just now, if you don’t find me one.
(He is led off into the house.)
PHILOLACHES
I’m undone!
TRANIO
Be of good courage; I’ll cleverly find a remedy for this alarm.
PHILOLACHES
I’m utterly ruined!
TRANIO
Do hold your tongue; I’ll think of something by means of which to alleviate this for you. Are you satisfied, if on his arrival I shall so manage your father,
not only that he shall not enter, but even that he shall run away to a distance from the house? Do you only be off from here in-doors, and remove these things from here with all haste.
PHILOLACHES
Where am I to be?
TRANIO
Where you especially desire: with her (pointing to PHILEMATIUM); with this girl, too, you’ll be. (Pointing to DELPHEIUM.)
DELPHIUM
How then? Are we to go away from here?
TRANIO
Not far from here, Delphium. For carouse away in the house not a bit the less on account of this.
PHILOLACHES
Ah me! I’m in a sweat with fear as to how these fine words are to end!
TRANIO
Can you not be tranquil in your mind, and do as I bid you?
PHILOLACHES
I can be.
TRANIO
In the first place of all, Philematium, do you go in-doors; and you, Delphium.
