Very clever that, about the soldier! about Sparta, most capital!
LYCUS
(in a low voice.)
May the Gods and Goddesses bestow many blessings on you, for having given me kindly information, and finding me a choice prey.
ADVOCATI
Aye, and, as he himself has told us, that you may receive him the better,
he has brought three hundred Philippean pieces as a provision.
LYCUS
I’m a king if I can to-day entice this man to my house.
ADVOCATI
Nay but, he really is your own.
LYCUS
By my troth, prithee, do persuade him to take up his abode at my house, as the best lodging.
ADVOCATI
It befit us neither to persuade nor to dissuade
a person who is a foreigner; you’ll transact your own business, if you are prudent. We have brought the ringdove for you, even to the trapping-ground; now it’s better for yourself to catch him, if you wish him to be caught.
(They move as if going.)
LYCUS
Are you going now?
COLLYBISCUS
(to the ASSISTANTS.)
What about the matters that I commissioned you upon, strangers?[*]
ADVOCATI
(pointing to LYCUS.)
It’s better for you, young sir, to speak to him about your own concerns;
he’s clever in those matters which you are enquiring about.
COLLYBISCUS
(aside.)
But, for my part, I could like you to see when I deliver him the gold.
ADVOCATI
(aside.)
At a distance there we shall be witnesses of that.
COLLYBISCUS
(to the ASSISTANTS.)
You’ve given me kind assistance.
(The ASSISTANTS go out of sight.
LYCUS
(aside, so as to be heard.)
The profit comes to me.
COLLYBISCUS
(aside, to himself.)
Age, just so, indeed, the way that the ass kicks[*] with his heels.
LYCUS
I’ll speak the fellow fairly. (To COLLYBISCUS.) A stranger salutes a stranger; I’m glad that you have arrived in safety.
COLLYBISCUS
May the Deities grant you many blessings, since you wish me well.
LYCUS
They say that you are in search of a lodging.
COLLYBISCUS
I am in search.
LYCUS
So those persons told me, who left me just now,
that you are in search of one that is free from flies.
COLLYBISCUS
By no means in the world.
LYCUS
Why so?
COLLYBISCUS
Because if I had been looking for a retreat from the flies[*], on arriving here I should have straightway gone to gaol. I’m in search of this kind of lodging, where I may be treated more delicately than the eyes of King Antiochus[*] are in the habit of being treated.
LYCUS
Upon my faith, for sure, I can provide you a charming one, if, indeed, you can put up with yourself being in a charming room, on a couch charmingly laid, a charming damsel cuddling you.
COLLYBISCUS
You are in the right road, Procurer.
LYCUS
