give me a kiss in place of a piece of meat; present your lips in place of a bone [*]: that way I’ll render this dog more smooth for you than oil.
HANNO
Come on, if you are coming.
ADELPHASIUM
What have we done to you?
HANNO
You are thieves, both of you.
ADELPHASIUM
What, we, as regards you?
HANNO
You, I say.
AGORASTOCLES
And I know it.
ADELPHASIUM
What theft is this?
AGORASTOCLES
Enquire of him.
HANNO
Because for many years you have been concealing my daughters from me,
and, in fact, persons free-born, and free, and born of the highest rank.
ADELPHASIUM
I’ faith, you’ll never find that villany to have been committed by us.
AGORASTOCLES
Make a bet of a kiss now, if you are not forsworn, which is to give it to the other.
ADELPHASIUM
I’ve nothing to do with you; prithee, get you gone.
AGORASTOCLES
But, i’ faith, I’ve got something to do with you; for he is my kinsman; it’s necessary for me to be his advocate.
And I’ll inform him how you are guilty of many a theft, and in what way you have got his daughters as slaves at your house, whom you know to be free women stolen from their native land.
ADELPHASIUM
Where are these, or who are they, prithee?
AGORASTOCLES
(aside to HANNO.)
They have been teased sufficiently.
HANNO
(aside.)
Why not speak out, then?
AGORASTOCLES
(aside.)
I’ faith, I’m of that opinion, kinsman.
ADELPHASIUM
I’m dreadfully afraid
what this business can mean, my sister; so astounded am I, I stand here without my senses.
HANNO
Damsels, give me your attention. In the first place, if it could possibly come to pass, for the Gods not to send upon the innocent what is undeserved, that could I have wished to happen; now for the good the Gods bestow upon me, upon yourselves and upon your nurse[*], ’tis due that we should give to the Deities our endless thanks,
since the immortal Gods approve and reward our piety. You are my daughters, both of you, and this is your relation, Agorastocles, the son of my cousin.
ADELPHASIUM
Prithee, are they deluding us with imaginary joys?
AGORASTOCLES
Really, so may the Deities preserve me, this is your father. Give him your hands.
ADELPHASIUM
(embracing him.)
Welcome, father! unhoped-for by us, allow us to embrace you!
ANTERASTYLIS
(embracing him.)
Welcome, father! much wished and longed for!
We are both your daughters;
we both embrace you.
