In that case, faith, I’ve wasted my oil and my labour.
AGORASTOCLES
(to ADELPHASIUM.)
Whither are you betaking yourself?
ADELPHASIUM
What I? To the Temple of Venus.
AGORASTOCLES
Why thither?
ADELPHASIUM
To propitiate Venus.
AGORASTOCLES
How now? Is she angry, then? Upon my faith, she is propitious. I will even answer for her.
(Stands before her.)
ADELPHASIUM
What are you about?
Prithee, why are you annoying me?
AGORASTOCLES
Thus cruel? Alas!
ADELPHASIUM
Let me go away, I beg of you.
AGORASTOCLES
Why in such a hurry? There’s a crowd there at present.
ADELPHASIUM
I know it; there are other females there whom I wish to see, and by whom to be seen.
AGORASTOCLES
How can it give you pleasure to look at ugly people, and to afford one so beauteous to be looked at?
ADELPHASIUM
Because to-day, at the Temple of Venus, there’s a fair for the courtesans;
there the dealers meet; there I wish myself to be shown.
AGORASTOCLES
To wares unsaleable, its right to entice the buyer of one’s own accord; good wares easily meet with a purchaser, although they may be placed in concealment. How say you? When, at my house here (pointing) will you lay your head and side by me?
ADELPHASIUM
On the day on which Orcus sends away the dead[*] from Acheron.
AGORASTOCLES
I’ve got in-doors I know not how many golden coins in a state of madness.
ADELPHASIUM
Bring them to me; I’ll make their madness pretty soon come to an end.
MILPHIO
(with indignation.)
A nice one, upon my word!
AGORASTOCLES
Away to utter and extreme perdition with you, and go and be hanged!
MILPHIO
(aside to AGORASTOCLES.)
The more I look at her, the more insignificant[*] she is, and a mere bauble.
AGORASTOCLES
Keep your prating to yourself; I’m tired of it.
(To ADELPHASIUM.) Come, do lift up this outer garment.
(Raises it from the ground, and attempts to embrace her.)
ADELPHASIUM
I’m in a state of purity[*]; prithee forbear to touch me, Agorastocles.
AGORASTOCLES
What am I to do, then?
ADELPHASIUM
If you are wise, you may be saving yourself your anxiety.
AGORASTOCLES
What? Me not be anxious on your account? What are you about, Milphio?
(Beckons to him.)
MILPHIO
(aside.)
See now, my aversion, this [*]. (Aloud.) What is it you want with me?
AGORASTOCLES
(pointing to ADELPHASIUM.)
Why is she angry with me?
