What’s that?
MILPHIO
There’s need of your assistance.
HANNO
Tell me what you wish. Really, you shall have my services just as you please. What is the business?
MILPHIO
Can you act the cheat?
HANNO
Towards an enemy, I can; to a friend, it would be mere folly.
MILPHIO
I’ faith, it is an enemy of his.
(Pointing at AGORASTOCLES.)
HANNO
I could do him a mischief with pleasure.
MILPHIO
He’s in love with a person who belongs to a Procurer.
HANNO
I deem that he acts discreetly.
MILPHIO
This Procurer lives close at hand.
HANNO
I could do him a mischief with pleasure.
MILPHIO
He has two slave girls, courtesans,
sisters; one of these he is desperately in love with, nor has he ever taker any liberties with her.
HANNO
It’s an unhappy kind of passion.
MILPHIO
The Procurer plays upon him.
HANNO
He’s enhancing his own profits thereby.
MILPHIO
He wishes to do him an evil turn.
HANNO
He’s right, if he does do it.
MILPHIO
Now I adopt this plan, and prepare this contrivance,
that we should cite you; you are to affirm that they are your daughters, and that they were stolen when little from Carthage, and to maintain the cause of both in an action on their freedom, as though they were both your own daughters. Do you understand?
HANNO
On my faith, I do understand; for I likewise did have two daughters
who were stolen away when little children, together with their nurse.
MILPHIO
Upon my word, you do feign it cleverly. At the very commencement this amuses me.
HANNO
(aside, weeping.)
Much more, i’ troth, than I could wish.
MILPHIO
(aside to AGORASTOCLES.)
Dear me! a subtle person, upon my word, artful and knowing, both tricky and crafty! How he does whimper, in order that with his gestures he may effect this all the more easily.
Even myself, now, the master-workman, does he excel in skill.
HANNO
But their nurse[*], of what appearance was she? Tell me.
MILPHIO
Of stature not tall, of a dusky complexion[*].
HANNO
’Tis the very person.
MILPHIO
Of agreable form, with a small mouth, and very dark eyes.
