There’s opportunity for doing it. But who is the person?
AGORASTOCLES
A friend of yours.
ADELPHASIUM
One who is not an enemy, in fact.
AGORASTOCLES
This is a good man, my love.
ADELPHASIUM
I’ faith, I should prefer him rather than a bad one.
AGORASTOCLES
If, indeed, friendship must be engaged in, with such a person ought it to be engaged in.
ADELPHASIUM
I don’t beg for it.
AGORASTOCLES
He wishes to do you many services.
ADELPHASIUM
Being good yourself you will be doing good to the good.
HANNO
I will cause you joy—
ADELPHASIUM
And, i’ faith, we pleasure to you.
HANNO
And liberty.
ADELPHASIUM
At that price you’ll easily make us your own.
AGORASTOCLES
My kinsman, so may the Gods bless me, if I were Jupiter,
upon my faith I’d at once marry her for my wife, and pack Juno out of doors. How quietly did she utter her words, how considerately and becomingly! how modestly did she frame her speech! certainly she is my own!
HANNO
(apart to AGORASTOCLES.)
But how skilfully I accosted her!
AGORASTOCLES
Cleverly and becomingly, upon my faith.
HANNO
Am I still to go on testing them?
AGORASTOCLES
Compress it in a few words; the people who are sitting here are getting thirsty[*].
HANNO
Well, why don’t we proceed to do that which was to be done? (To the WOMEN.) I summon you to justice.
AGORASTOCLES
Seize hold of this one, kinsman, if you are wise. Should you like me to catch hold of her?
ADELPHASIUM
Is this person your kinsman, Agorastocles?
AGORASTOCLES
I’ll soon let you know. Now, by my word, I’ll be nicely revenged on you; for I’ll make—you my bride.
HANNO
Come before a court of justice; don’t delay!
AGORASTOCLES
Summon me as your witness[*], and take me; I’ll be a witness for you; and after that, her (pointing to ADELPHASIUM) will I love and embrace. But ’twas this, indeed, I intended to say—why yes, I did say that which I intended to say.
HANNO
(to the DAMSELS.)
You are lingering. I summon you to justice, unless it is more becoming for you to be dragged thither.
ADELPHASIUM
Why do you summon us to justice? What are we in your debt?
AGORASTOCLES
He’ll tell it there.
ADELPHASIUM
Are even my own dogs barking at me?
AGORASTOCLES
Then, troth, do you caress me;
