What did I say then P
PAEGNIUM
I’ll tell it to her all correctly.
TOXILUS
I’ faith, you don’t know it.
PAEGNIUM
Troth now, lay me a wager that I don’t remember and know it all.
TOXILUS
Why, for my part, I’ll lay a wager with you on this, whether you know your own self, how many fingers you have this day upon your hand.
PAEGNIUM
Without hesitation—if you are desirous to lose.
TOXILUS
A fair truce rather let there be.
PAEGNIUM
For that reason, then, do you let me go.
TOXILUS
I both bid and permit you.
But I wish you so to attend to it, that you are back home while I’m thinking that you are there.
PAEGNIUM
I’ll do so.
(Moves towards their own house.)
TOXILUS
Whither are you now going?
PAEGNIUM
Home; that I may be at home while you are thinking that I am there.
TOXILUS
You are a rascal of a boy, and—for this service I’ll give you something to add[*] to your savings.
PAEGNIUM
I’m aware how want of shame is wont to be imputed to a master’s word, and that masters cannot ever be compelled to appear before the judge on account of those promises.
TOXILUS
Be off now.
PAEGNIUM
I’ll give you reason to command me.
TOXILUS
But, Paegnium, take you care and give that letter to Lemniselene herself, and tell her what I bade you.
SOPHOCLIDISCA
(apart.)
Do I delay to go whither I was sent?
PAEGNIUM
I’m off.
TOXILUS
Then do be off; I’ll off home. Take care and manage this business with attention. Fly post haste.
(Goes into the house.)
PAEGNIUM
That’s what the ostrich[*] is wont to do in the Circus.
He’s off from here in-doors there. But who’s this woman that’s coming towards me?
SOPHOCLIDISCA
(advancing.)
Surely this is Paegnium.
PAEGNIUM
This is Sophoclidisca, the private servant of her to whom I’m sent.
SOPHOCLIDISCA
(aside.)
There’s not a person this day that’s reported to be more artful than this boy. I’ll accost him.
PAEGNIUM
At this bar[*]
I must come to a stop.
SOPHOCLIDISCA
Paegnium, my charmer of a boy, save you; how are you? How do you do?
PAEGNIUM
Sophoclidisca, the Gods will favour me.
