Isn’t this Ampelisca that’s coming out from the Temple?
AMPELISCA
Isn’t this
Trachalio that I see, the servant of Plesidippus?
TRACHALIO
It is she.
AMPELISCA
It is he; Trachalio, health to you.
TRACHALIO
Health, Ampelisca, to you; how fare you?
AMPELISCA
In misery I pass a life not far advanced[*].
TRACHALIO
Do give some better omen.
AMPELISCA
Still it behoves all prudent persons to confer and talk together. But, prithee, where’s your master, Plesidippus?
TRACHALIO
Marry, well said, indeed; as if he wasn’t within there.
(Pointing to the Temple.)
AMPELISCA
By my troth, he isn’t, nor, in fact, has he come here at all.
TRACHALIO
He hasn’t come?
AMPELISCA
You say the truth.
TRACHALIO
That’s not my way, Ampelisca. But how nearly is the breakfast got ready?
AMPELISCA
What breakfast, I beg of you?
TRACHALIO
The sacrifice, I mean, that you are performing here.
AMPELISCA
Prithee, what is it you are dreaming about?
TRACHALIO
For certain, Labrax invited Plesidippus hither to a breakfast, your master, my master.
AMPELISCA
By my troth, you’re telling of no wondrous facts: if he has deceived Gods and men, he has only acted after the fashion of Procurers.
TRACHALIO
Then neither yourselves nor my master are here performing a sacrifice.
AMPELISCA
You are a wizard.
TRACHALIO
What are you doing then?
AMPELISCA
The Priestess of Venus has received here into her abode both myself and Palaestra, after many mishaps and dreadful alarm, and from being in danger of our lives, destitute of aid and of resources.
TRACHALIO
Prithee, is Palaestra here, the beloved of my master?
AMPELISCA
Assuredly.
TRACHALIO
Great joyousness is there in your news, my dear Ampelisca. But I greatly long to know what was this danger of yours.
AMPELISCA
Last night our ship was wrecked, my dear Trachalio.
TRACHALIO
How, ship? What story’s this?
AMPELISCA
Prithee, have you not heard in what way the Procurer intended secretly to carry us away hence to Sicily, and how, whatever there was at home, he placed on board ship? That has all gone to the bottom now.
TRACHALIO
O clever Neptune, hail to thee! Surely, no dicer is more skilful than thyself. Decidedly
