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.
