Why me? Which of us?PAEGNIUMI’ faith, I don’t know. But if they were to do as you deserve, by my troth they’d hold you in hate, and treat you but badly.SOPHOCLIDISCADo leave off your abusive talking.PAEGNIUMSince I’m saying just as you I’m talking to deserve, properly, not abusively.SOPHOCLIDISCAWhat are you about now?PAEGNIUMStanding opposite to you, looking at a worthless woman.SOPHOCLIDISCAFor my own part, assuredly, I do not know any more good-for-nothing boy than yourself.PAEGNIUMWhat mischief do I do, or to what person do I speak abusively? SOPHOCLIDISCAI’ faith, to every one that you have the opportunity.PAEGNIUMNot an individual has ever thought so.SOPHOCLIDISCABut, i’ faith, full many a one knows that so it is.PAEGNIUMHeyday, indeed! SOPHOCLIDISCAHeyday, indeed!PAEGNIUMAccording to your own disposition you judge of the ways of others.SOPHOCLIDISCAI certainly do confess that I’m just as befits one of a Procurer’s household to be. PAEGNIUMI’ve now had enough of your chattering.SOPHOCLIDISCAWhat say you? Do you plead guilty to what I take you to be?PAEGNIUMIf I were so, I should confess it.SOPHOCLIDISCABe off then; you’ve got the victory.PAEGNIUMNow then be off with you.SOPHOCLIDISCADo you then tell me this—whither are you going?PAEGNIUMWhither are you? SOPHOCLIDISCASay you.PAEGNIUMSay you. SOPHOCLIDISCAI was the first to ask.PAEGNIUMThen you shall be the last to know.SOPHOCLIDISCAI’m going not far hence.PAEGNIUMAnd I, indeed, not far.SOPHOCLIDISCAWhither then, you rascal?PAEGNIUMUnless I know first of you, you shall never know this of me that you are enquiring.
