Your friend.
SYNCERASTUS
You don’t act like a friend, in causing me delay when I’ve got a burden.
MILPHIO
But in return for this matter I’ll lend you my aid, when you please, and when you give me your commands. Consider the agreement signed.
SYNCERASTUS
If so it is to be, I’ll give you my services in this—
MILPHIO
In what way?
SYNCERASTUS
Why that, when I’m to have a beating, you yourself may substitute your hide.
MILPHIO
Get along with you.
SYNCERASTUS
I don’t understand what sort of person you are.[*]
MILPHIO
I’m good for nothing.
SYNCERASTUS
Be so to yourself, then.
MILPHIO
I want you.
SYNCERASTUS
But my burden is pressing me.
MILPHIO
Then, do you set it down, and turn your face to me.
SYNCERASTUS
I’ll do so, although I have no leisure.
(Puts down his load.)
MILPHIO
Save you, Syncerastus.
SYNCERASTUS
O Milphio, may all the Gods and Goddesses favour—
MILPHIO
What person, pray?
SYNCERASTUS
Neither you, nor me, Milphio, nor my own master, in fact.
MILPHIO
Whom are they to favour, then?
SYNCERASTUS
Any one else they please; for not one of us is deserving of it.
MILPHIO
You speak wittily.
SYNCERASTUS
It befits me to do so.
MILPHIO
What are you doing?
SYNCERASTUS
I’m doing that which, clearly, adulterers don’t generally do.
MILPHIO
What’s that?
SYNCERASTUS
Bringing all off in safety[*].
MILPHIO
May the Gods confound you and your master!
SYNCERASTUS
May they not confound me. I could make them ruin him, if I chose—
ruin my master, did I not fear for myself, Milphio.
MILPHIO
What is it? Tell me.
