Give him a goblet, then; put out the fire, if his heart’s in flames, that his head mayn’t be burnt.
DORDALUS
You’re making sport of me, I find.
TOXILUS
Would you like[*] a new playfellow for you, Paegnium? (Pointing at DORDALUS.)
But sport on as you are wont, as this is a place of freedom. (PAEGNIUM struts about round DORDALUS.) O rare! you do stalk in a princely style and right merrily.
PAEGNIUM
It befits me to be merry, and I’ve a longing to play this Procurer some pranks, since he’s deserving of it.
TOXILUS
As you commenced, proceed.
PAEGNIUM
(striking him.)
Take that, Procurer!
DORDALUS
I’m undone! he has almost knocked me down!
PAEGNIUM
Hey—be on your guard[*] again.
(Strikes at him.)
DORDALUS
Sport on just as you please, while your master’s away from here.
PAEGNIUM
(skipping around him.)
Don’t you see how obedient I am to your request? But why, on the other hand, are not you obedient to my request as well, and why don’t you do that which I advise you?
DORDALUS
What’s that?
PAEGNIUM
Do you take a stout rope for yourself, and go hang yourself.
DORDALUS
(shaking his stick.)
Take you care, will you, that you don’t touch me, lest I give you a heavy return with this walking-stick.
PAEGNIUM
Make use of it; I give you leave.
TOXILUS
Come, come, Paegnium, put an end to it.
DORDALUS
By my faith, I’ll utterly destroy you all.
TOXILUS
But he, who dwells above[*] us,
wishes you all ill, and will do you all ill. It’s not they that tell you so, but I.
TOXILUS
Come (to the SLAVES.) carry round the honied wine[*]; give us drink in goblets quite full: it’s a long time now since we last drank; we’ve been athirst too long.
DORDALUS
May the Gods grant that you may drink that which may never pass through you.
PAEGNIUM
I cannot forbear, Procurer, from at least dancing a hornpipe[*] for you, which Hegea formerly
composed. But just look if it quite pleases you.
(He dances.)
SAGARISTIO
(rising.)
I’d like also to repeat that one which Diodorus formerly composed in Ionia.
(Goes close to DORDALUS.)
DORDALUS
I’ll be doing you a mischief, if you are not off!
SAGARISTIO
Still muttering, impudence? If you provoke me, I’ll just now be bringing you the Persian again.
DORDALUS
I’ faith, I’m silenced now. Why, you are the Persian that has been fleecing me to the quick!
TOXILUS
Hold your tongue, simpleton; this is his twin-brother.
DORDALUS
Is it he?
TOXILUS
Aye, and a very twin of twins.
