I’ll be there just now.
SIMO
Well now, how soon—?
TRANIO
What is it?
SIMO
The usual goings-on.
TRANIO
Tell me then, these usual goings-on, what are they?
SIMO
The way that you yourselves proceed. But, Tranio, to say the truth, according as men are, it so befits you to humour them;
reflecting, at the same time, how short life is.
TRANIO
What of all this? Dear me, at last, after some difficulty, I perceive that you are talking about these goings-on of ours.
SIMO
I’ faith, you people are living a merry life, just as befits you:
on wine, good cheer, nice dainty fish, you enjoy life.
TRANIO
Why yes, so it was in time past, indeed; but now these things have come to an end all at once.
SIMO
How so?
TRANIO
So utterly, Simo, are we all undone!
SIMO
Won’t you hold your tongue? Everything has gone on prosperously with you hitherto.
TRANIO
I don’t deny that it has been as you say; undoubtedly, we have lived heartily, just as we pleased; but, Simo, in such a way has the breeze now forsaken our ship—
SIMO
What’s the matter? In what way?
TRANIO
In a most shocking way.
SIMO
What, wasn’t it hauled ashore[*]in safety?
TRANIO
Ah me!
SIMO
What’s the matter?
TRANIO
Ah wretched me! I’m utterly undone!
SIMO
How so?
TRANIO
Because a ship has come, to smash the hull of our ship.
SIMO
I would wish as you would wish, Tranio, for your own sake. But what is the matter? Do inform me.
TRANIO
I will inform you. My master has arrived from abroad.
SIMO
In that case, the cord will be stretched for you; thence to the place where iron fetters clink; after that, straight to the cross.
TRANIO
Now, by your knees, I do implore you, don’t give information to my master.
SIMO
Don’t you fear; he shall know nothing from me.
TRANIO
Blessings on you, my patron.
SIMO
I don’t care for clients of this description for myself.
