Scold your own people; the offenders are your own. I came to see what you wanted me for. Why, for my own part, I pitied this door.
PINACIUM
For that reason your assistance was given so very readily.
PHILUMENA
Pray, who’s that, talking here so near to us?
GELASIMUS
Pinacium.
PHILUMENA
Where is he?
(Looks on each side.)
PINACIUM
(coming forward.)
Attend to me, and leave alone that needy Parasite, Philumena.
PHILUMENA
Pinacium.
PINACIUM
That name my elders gave me.
PHILUMENA
What’s your business
PINACIUM
What’s my business, do you ask?
PHILUMENA
Why shouldn’t I ask it?
PINACIUM
What’s yours with me?
PHILUMENA
Do you insult me, impudent fellow? Answer me, this very instant, Pinacium.
PINACIUM
Bid those, then, to let me alone, who are detaining me.
PHILUMENA
Who are detaining you?
PINACIUM
Do you ask me that? A lassitude is in possession of all my limbs.
PHILUMENA
Well, I know right well that it’s not in possession of your tongue.
PINACIUM
With such rapid speed have I been hastening from the harbour, for the sake of your own well-doing.
PHILUMENA
Why, do you bring any good news?
PINACIUM
I bring more, by very much, than you expect.
PHILUMENA
I’m saved, then.
PINACIUM
And I’m done for; lassitude is drinking up my marrow apace.
GELASIMUS
What, then, am I, the marrow of whose stomach, to my sorrow, famine has seized upon?
PHILUMENA
Did you meet any one?
PINACIUM
Many.
PHILUMENA
But any man?
PINACIUM
Very many; but, of the many, not one a greater rascal than he is.
(Points at GELASIMUS.)
PHILUMENA
How so?
GELASIMUS
I have been affronted already at his saying uncivil things to me. If you irritate me any further—
(Holds up his fist to PINACIUM.)
PINACIUM
I’ faith, you’ll be plaguy hungry to eat me.
