If I do knock, he won’t open it[*].
ADVOCATI
Then break the pannel[*].
AGORASTOCLES
If the Procurer comes out, do you think I ought to enquire of the fellow whether my slave has come to him or not?
ADVOCATI
Why not?
AGORASTOCLES
With two hundred golden Philippean pieces?
ADVOCATI
Why not?
AGORASTOCLES
Then the Procurer will be going astray at once.
ADVOCATI
About what matter?
AGORASTOCLES
Do you ask? Because a less sum will be named by one hundred pieces.
ADVOCATI
You judge rightly.
AGORASTOCLES
He’ll think that some other person is being looked after.
ADVOCATI
No doubt.
AGORASTOCLES
He’ll be denying it at once.
ADVOCATI
On his oath even.
AGORASTOCLES
The fellow will involve himself in the guilt of theft—
ADVOCATI
Beyond a doubt, it certainly is so.
AGORASTOCLES
Of however much it is that shall have been brough to him.
ADVOCATI
Why not?
AGORASTOCLES
Jupiter confound you[*]!
ADVOCATI
Why not your own self?
AGORASTOCLES
(going towards the door of LYCUS.)
I’ll go and knock at this door.
ADVOCATI
Even so. Why not?
AGORASTOCLES
It’s time to be quiet, for the door makes a noise. I see the Procurer Lycus coming out of doors; come this way, pray!
ADVOCATI
Why not? But, if you please, cover up our heads, that the Procurer mayn’t know us,
who have been his decoyers[*] into so great a calamity.
(He throws the lappets of their garments over their heads.)
746
(Enter LYCUS, from his house.)
LYCUS
(to himself.)
Let all soothsayers go hang themselves now at once. Why should I believe them in future, as to what they say? For they, just now at the sacrifice, told me that evil and the greatest disaster was portended to me.
I have since then amplified my fortune with profit.
AGORASTOCLES
(accosting him.)
Save you, Procurer.
LYCUS
May the Gods bless you, Agorastocles.
AGORASTOCLES
You now salute me more kindly than hitherto.
