Just so; and, in fact, as though you, on your arrival to-day, had asked us to show you a spot for freedom and pleasure; where you might wench, drink, and live like a Greek.
MILPHIO
Dear me! Crafty fellows, upon my faith!
AGORASTOCLES
But it was I who instructed them.
MILPHIO
And who you, in your turn?
COLLYBISCUS
Come, be of’ in-doors, Agorastocles,
lest the Procurer should see you together with me, and some accident might befall our plan.
MILPHIO
This person is extremely prudent. (To AGORASTOCLES.) Do as he bids you.
AGORASTOCLES
Let’s be off. (To the ASSISTANTS.) But you—
has enough been said?
COLLYBISCUS
Do you be off.[*]
AGORASTOCLES
I’m off.
Immortal Gods, I beg—
COLLYBISCUS
Nay, but why don’t you be off?[*]
AGORASTOCLES
I’m off.
COLLYBISCUS
You do wisely. (AGORASTOCLES and MILPHIO go into the house.)
Hush! be quiet.
ADVOCATI
What’s the matter?
COLLYBISCUS
This door (pointing to the door of the house of LYCUS) was guilty of a great indecency just now.
ADVOCATI
What indecency is that?
COLLYBISCUS
It rumbled aloud.
ADVOCATI
May the Deities confound you! Get you behind us.
COLLYBISCUS
Be it so.
(Goes behind them.)
ADVOCATI
We’ll walk first.
COLLYBISCUS
(aside.)
They do what town-fellows are in the habit of doing: they put worthy men behind themselves.
ADVOCATI
(pointing to the PROCURER’S house .)
That man that’s coming out is the Procurer.
COLLYBISCUS
He’s a real good one; for he’s like a bad man[*]. Even now, as he comes forth, I’ll suck out his blood at this distance.
615
(Enter LYCUS, from his house.)
LYCUS
(speaking to ANTHEMONIDES, within .)
I’ll return here this moment, Captain. I wish to find us some fitting guests, to join us. Meanwhile, they’ll bring the entrails; and at the same time, the women, I suppose, will soon be making their appearance at home after the sacrifice. But why are such a number of people coming this way? I wonder what they are bringing?
He, too, in the scarf, that’s following at a distance, who is he, I wonder? He is not an Aetolian.
ADVOCATI
We greet you, Lycus. Although against our will, we give you this salutation, and although in a very moderate degree do we entertain good wishes for procurers.
LYCUS
May you all be fortunate—a thing that I know for certain you neither will be, nor will Fortune permit it so to be.
