But if he himself shall attempt to get away from here, that instant, as hard a you can, lay on to his legs with your sticks.
LABRAX
Are they not even to allow me to go away from here?
DAEMONES
I’ve said sufficient. And when that servant comes here with his master, he that has gone to fetch his master, do you at once go home.
Attend to this with great diligence, will you.
(DAEMONES goes into his house.)
LABRAX
O rare, by my troth, the Temple here is surely changed all of a sudden; this is now the Temple of Hercules [*] which was that of Venus before; in such fashion has the old fellow planted two statues here with clubs. I’ faith, I don’t know now whither in the world I shall fly from here;
so greatly are they both raging now against me, both land and sea. Palaestra!
SERVANT
What do you want?
LABRAX
Away with you, there is a misunderstanding between us; that, indeed, is not my Palaestra[*] that answers. Harkye, Ampelisca.
SERVANT
Beware of a mishap, will you.
LABRAX
(aside.)
So far as they can, the worthless fellows advise me rightly enough.
(Aloud.) But, harkye, I ask you, whether it is any harm to you for me to come nearer to these women?
SERVANT
Why none at all to ourselves.
LABRAX
Will there be any harm to myself?
SERVANT
None at all, if you only take care.
LABRAX
What is it that I’m to take care against?
SERVANT
Why, look you, against a heavy mishap.
LABRAX
Troth now, prithee, do let me approach them.
SERVANT
Approach them, if you like.
LABRAX
I’ faith, obligingly done; I return you thanks, I’ll go nearer to them.
(Approaches them.)
SERVANT
Do you stand there on the spot, where you are.
(Drags him to his place, with the cudgel over his head.)
LABRAX
(aside.)
By my faith, I’ve come scurvily off in many ways. Still, I’m resolved to get the better of them this day by constantly besieging them.

(Enter PLESIDIPPUS and TRACHALIO, at a distance, on the other side of the stage.)
PLESIDIPPUS
And did the Procurer attempt by force and violence
to drag my mistress away from the altar of Venus?
TRACHALIO
Even so.
PLESIDIPPUS
Why didn’t you kill him on the instant?
TRACHALIO
I hadn’t a sword.
PLESIDIPPUS
You should have taken either a stick or a stone.
TRACHALIO
What! ought I to have pelted this most villanous fellow with stones like a dog? ⋯
LABRAX
(aside, on seeing them.)
By my troth, but I’m undone now; see, here’s Plesidippus;
he’ll be sweeping me away altogether this moment with the dust.
