I’ faith, you really have depicted her form exactly in your words.
MILPHIO
Should you like to see her?
HANNO
I’d rather see my daughters. Still, go and call her out of doors. If they are my daughters, if she is their nurse, she’ll recognize me at once.
MILPHIO
(knocking at the door of the PROCURER’S house .)
Hallo there! is there any one here? Tell Giddeneme to come out of doors; there’s a person wants to see her.
1120
(Enter GIDDENEME and a BOY, from the house.)
GIDDENEME
Who is it that knocks?
MILPHIO
One that’s a near acquaintance of yours.
GIDDENEME
What do you want?
MILPHIO
Come now (pointing to HANNO.) do you know that person in the tunic, who it is?
GIDDENEME
Why, whom do I behold? O supreme Jupiter! this sure is my master, the father of my foster-children, Hanno, the Carthaginian!
MILPHIO
Now, do see the cunning hussey this Carthaginian is really a clever juggler; he has brought all over to his own opinion.
GIDDENEME
(running up to HANNO.)
O my master! welcome to you, Hanno! most unhoped for by myself and your daughters, welcome to you! But look you, don’t be wondering, or gazing so intently upon me.
Don’t you know Giddeneme, your female slave?
HANNO
I know her. But where are my daughters? That I’m longing to know.
GIDDENEME
At the Temple of Venus[*].
HANNO
What are they doing there? Tell me.
GIDDENEME
To-day is the Aphrodisia, the festive day of Venus! they have gone there to entreat the Goddess to be propitious to them.
MILPHIO
I’ faith, they’ve fully prevailed, I’m sure, inasmuch as he has arrived here.
AGORASTOCLES
(aside to GIDDENEME.)
How now, are these his daughters?
GIDDENEME
Just as you say. (To HANNO.) Your kindness has clearly come to our rescue, in your having arrived here to-day at the very time; for this day their names were to have been changed[*],
and they were to have made a livelihood, disgraceful to their station, by their persons.
A BOY
Haudones illi[*].
GIDDENEME
Havon bene si illi, in mustine.
Me ipsi et eneste dum et alamna cestinum[*].
AGORASTOCLES
What is it they are saying among themselves? Tell me.
MILPHIO
He’s saluting his mother, and she this her son.
HANNO
Hold your peace, and let alone the woman’s gear.
MILPHIO
What gear is that?
HANNO
Loud talking
without limit.
(To MILPHIO.) Do you lead these people in-doors (pointing to his SERVANTS.) and bid this nurse to come away together with you to your house.
