Give your attention then, and take care and please mind your promise. What do you say? Do you know that my son is in love with a certain music-girl?

PSEUDOLUS

Yea, verily [*].

SIMO

Whom he is trying to make free?

PSEUDOLUS

Yea, verily and indeed.

SIMO

And you are scheming by cajolery and by cunning tricks to get twenty minae in ready money out of me?

PSEUDOLUS

I, get them out of you?

SIMO

Just so; to give them to my son, with which to liberate his mistress. Do you confess it? Speak out.

PSEUDOLUS

Yea, verily; yea, verily.

SIMO

He confesses it.

Didn’t I tell you so just now, Callipho?

CALLIPHO

So I remember.

SIMO

Why, directly you knew of these things, were they kept concealed from me? Why wasn’t I made acquainted with them?

PSEUDOLUS

I’ll tell you: because I was unwilling that a bad custom should originate in me, for a servant to accuse his master before his master.

SIMO

Wouldn’t you order this fellow to be dragged head first to the treadmills [*]?

CALLIPHO

Has he done anything amiss, Simo?

SIMO

Yes, very much so.

PSEUDOLUS
(to CALLIPHO.)

Be quiet, I quite well understand my own affairs, Callipho. Is this a fault? Now then, give your attention to the reason why I you kept ignorant of this amour. I knew that the treadmill was close at hand, if I told you.

SIMO

And didn’t you know, as well, that the treadmill would be close at hand when you kept silent on it?

PSEUDOLUS

I did know it.

SIMO

Why wasn’t it told me?

PSEUDOLUS

The one evil was close at hand, the other at a greater distance; the one was at the moment, the other was a few days off.

SIMO

What will you be doing now? For assuredly the money cannot be got in this quarter out of me, who have especially detected it.

I shall forthwith give notice to all that no one is to trust him the money.

PSEUDOLUS

I’ faith, I’ll never go begging to any person, so long, at all events, as you shall be alive; troth, you shall find me the money; and as for me, I shall take it from you.

SIMO

You, take it from me?

PSEUDOLUS

Undoubtedly.

SIMO

Troth, now, knock out my eye, if I do find it.

PSEUDOLUS

You shall provide it. I warn you then to be on your guard against me.

SIMO

By my troth, I know this for sure; if you do take it away, you will have done a wonderful and a great exploit.

PSEUDOLUS

I will do it, however.
