Make yourself to can.
CALIDORUS
By what means, pray, can I prevail upon my feelings?
PSEUDOLUS
Carry you out that which is to your advantage, rather than give heed with your feelings to the thing that’s disadvantageous.
CALIDORUS
That’s nonsense; there is no pleasure, unless a lover acts like a fool.
PSEUDOLUS
Do you persist?
CALIDORUS
O my dear Pseudolus, let me be undone—do let me, please.
PSEUDOLUS
I’ll let you; only let me go.
(Going.)
CALIDORUS
Stay, stay. As you shall, then, wish me to be, so will I be.
PSEUDOLUS
Now, at last, you are in your senses.
BALLIO
(coming forward from the door of his house to the other side of the stage.)
The day is passing; I’m causing delay to myself. Boy, do you go before me.
(Moves as if going.)
CALIDORUS
Hallo there! he’s going; why don’t you call him back?
PSEUDOLUS
Why in such a hurry? Gently.
CALIDORUS
But before he’s gone.
BALLIO
Why the plague do you go so slowly, boy?
PSEUDOLUS
You born on this day, hallo! you born on this day; I’m calling to you; hallo! you born on this day, come you back and look at us. Although you are busy,
we want you; stop—it’s because some persons want to speak to you.
BALLIO
What’s this? Who is it, when I’m busy, causes me unseasonable delay?
PSEUDOLUS
He that has been your supporter.
BALLIO
He’s dead that has been; only he that is, is now alive.
PSEUDOLUS
You are too saucy.
BALLIO
You are too troublesome.
(Turns away to go on.)
CALIDORUS
Seize the fellow: follow him up.
BALLIO
Go on, boy.
PSEUDOLUS
Let’s go and meet him this way.
(They run and stand before him.)
BALLIO
May Jupiter confound you, whoever you are.
PSEUDOLUS
That for yourself I wish.
BALLIO
And for both of you do I. Turn you this way, boy.
(Takes another direction.)
PSEUDOLUS
May we not speak with you?
BALLIO
Why, it doesn’t please me.
PSEUDOLUS
But if it’s something to your advantage?
