On your account, indeed, you cuckoo! I’ faith, you carrion, if I were to give you a broken head, I shouldn’t be afraid of that.
SAGARISTIO
I understand you, you’ve been up to[*] some bad work just now.
PAEGNIUM
So I have. What business is that to you?
But I haven’t, like yourself, all for nothing.
SAGARISTIO
Assurance!
PAEGNIUM
I’ faith, I certainly am; for I am assured that I shall be free; don’t be hoping that you’ll ever be so.
SAGARISTIO
Can’t you cease your impertinence?
PAEGNIUM
That which you are mentioning, you can’t do yourself.
SAGARISTIO
Away with you to utter perdition.
PAEGNIUM
And off home with you; for there it’s all ready prepared for you.
SAGARISTIO
He summons me[*] on my recognizances.
PAEGNIUM
I only wish the sureties may be out of the way, so that you may get to prison.
SAGARISTIO
Why’s this?
PAEGNIUM
Aye, why is it?
SAGARISTIO
Still abusing me, rascal?
PAEGNIUM
Why, inasmuch as you are a slave, it ought at least to be allowed a slave to abuse you.
SAGARISTIO
And is it so? Just look (holding up his fist.) what I shall give you.
PAEGNIUM
Nothing; for nothing have you.
SAGARISTIO
May all the Gods and Goddesses confound me,
if I don’t this very day, if I lay hold of you, fell you to the ground with blows.
PAEGNIUM
I am your friend; I trust that what you wish may befall you,
and that it may come to pass;
if you fell me[*], may others make you feel yourself fixed to the cross before long.
SAGARISTIO
But you may the Gods and Goddesses—You understand what I was going to say after that, if I hadn’t been able to restrain my tongue. Can’t you be off?
PAEGNIUM
You drive me off with ease; for already my shadow’s getting[*] a whipping in-doors.
(Goes into the house.)
SAGARISTIO
(to himself.)
May the Gods and Goddesses confound that fellow! just like a crawling serpent he has got a double tongue, and is a wicked one.
Upon my faith, I’m glad he’s gone. (Going towards the door.) Open, you door. But look! he’s coming from within, the person that I most especially wished to meet with.
302
(Enter TOXILUS, from his MASTER’S house, followed by SOPHOCLIDISCA.)
TOXILUS
(to SOPHOCLIDISCA.)
Tell her that it’s now arranged whence the money is to come. Bid her be of good heart; tell her that I love her exceedingly. When she cheers up, then does she cheer me up. What I’ve told you to tell her,
do you quite understand it?
SOPHOCLIDISCA
Better than your legs[*] understand you, do I understand it.
