The one that was brought just now from the Captain. His servant, who was bringing it, with five mineae of silver, who came to fetch your mistress hence, him I have just now bamboozled.
CALIDORUS
How so?
PSEUDOLUS
For the sake of these Spectators the play is being performed; they know, who were present here; you I’ll tell at another time.
CALIDORUS
What are we to do then?
PSEUDOLUS
You shall this day embrace your mistress at liberty.
CALIDORUS
What, I?
PSEUDOLUS
You yourself.
CALIDORUS
I?
PSEUDOLUS
Your own self, I say, if indeed this head shall exist so long; if you’ll only quickly find me out a man.
CHARINUS
Of what description?
PSEUDOLUS
A cunning,
crafty and clever one, who, when he has once taken hold of the beginning, may by his own ingenuity still hold fast upon what it behoves him to do; one, too, who has not often been seen here.
CHARINUS
If he is a slave, does that matter at all?
PSEUDOLUS
Why, I’d much rather have him than a free man.
CHARINUS
I think that I’m able to procure for you a cunning and clever fellow,
that has lately come to my father from Carystus [*], and hasn’t as yet gone anywhere out the house, and who never visited Athens before yesterday.
PSEUDOLUS
You assist in right earnest. But I have need to borrow five minae of silver, which I shall repay this day, for his father (pointing to CALIDORUS) owes it me.
CHARINUS
I’ll lend it; don’t seek it anywhere else.
PSEUDOLUS
O, how convenient a person for me.
I have need of a scarf as well, a sword, and a broad-brimmed hat.
CHARINUS
I can provide them from my house.
PSEUDOLUS
Immortal Gods! surely this is not Charinus for me, but Abundance. But this servant, who is come here from Carystus, is there anything in him?
CHARINUS
Plenty of the stinking goat [*] in him.
PSEUDOLUS
It befits the fellow, then, to have a tunic with long sleeves [*] Has the chap anything sharp [*] in his breast?
CHARINUS
Aye, of the very sharpest.
PSEUDOLUS
But if it is necessary for him to draw forth what is sweet from the same place, has he aught of that?
CHARINUS
Do you ask that He has wine of myrrh, sweet raisin wine, spice wine [*] honey wine, sweets of every sort. Why, he once began to set up a hot liquor-shop in his breast.
PSEUDOLUS
Bravissimo! Why, Charinus, you beat me cleverly [*] at my own game. But what am I to say is the name of this servant?
CHARINUS
Simmia.
PSEUDOLUS
In a difficulty, does he understand how to twirl about?
