Why so?
THEUROPIDES
Because, i’ faith, the woodworm has split them both from the bottom.
TRANIO
I think they were cut at an improper season; that fault damages them; but even as it is, they are quite good enough, if they are covered with pitch. But it was no foreign pulse-eating artisan[*] did this work. Don’t you see the joints in the door? (Pointing.)
THEUROPIDES
I see them.
TRANIO
Look, how close together they are sleeping.
THEUROPIDES
Sleeping?
TRANIO
That is, how they wink, I intended to say. Are you satisfied?
THEUROPIDES
The more I look at each particular, the more it pleases me.
TRANIO
(pointing.)
Don’t you see the painting, where one crow[*] is baffling two vultures?
The crow stands there; it’s pecking at them both in turn.
This way, look, prithee, towards me[*], that yon may be able to see the crow.
(THEUROPIDES turns towards him.) Now do you see it?
THEUROPIDES
(looking about.)
For my part, I really see no crow there.
TRANIO
But do you look in that direction, towards yourselves, since you cannot discover the crow, if perchance you may be able to espy the vultures. (THEUROPIDES turns towards SIMO.) Now do you see them?
THEUROPIDES
Upon my faith, I don’t see them.
TRANIO
But I can see two vultures.
THEUROPIDES
To make an end of it with you, I don’t see any bird at all painted here.
TRANIO
Well then, I give it up. I excuse you; it is through age you cannot see.
THEUROPIDES
These things which I can see, really they do all please me mightily.
SIMO
(coming forward.)
Now, at length, it’s worth your while to move further on.
THEUROPIDES
Troth, you give good advice.
SIMO
(calling at the door.)
Ho there, boy! take this person round this house and the apartments. But I myself would have shown you round, if I hadn’t had business at the Forum.
THEUROPIDES
Away with any one to show me over. I don’t want to be shown over. Whatever it is, I’d rather go wrong than any one should show me over.
SIMO
The house I’m speaking of.
THEUROPIDES
Then I’ll go in without any one to show me over.
SIMO
Go, by all means.
THEUROPIDES
I’ll go in-doors, then.
TRANIO
(holding him back.)
Stop, please; let me see whether the dog—
THEUROPIDES
Very well then, look.
