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.
GELASIMUS
I’ll cause you to know that assuredly you’ve said that with reason.
PINACIUM
I wish everything to be made clean. (Calls to the SERVANTS from the door.) Bring out here your brooms, and a reed as well,[*] that I may destroy all the labours of the spiders and their plaguy webs, and rout out all their looms.
(The SERVANTS bring some brooms.)
GELASIMUS
The poor things will be cold in future.
PINACIUM
What? Do you think that they are just like yourself, with only one coat? Take this broom.
(Gives him a broom.)
GELASIMUS
I’ll take it.
PINACIUM
This I’ll take myself. Do you sweep away there.
GELASIMUS
I’ll do so.
(Sweeps away.)
PINACIUM
(calling aloud.)
Will some one bring here a pail and water[*]?
GELASIMUS
Really, this fellow’s playing the Aedile[*] without the vote of the public even.
(The water is brought.)
PINACIUM
Come, do you quickly sweep the ground, and sprinkle before the house.
GELASIMUS
I’ll do so.
PINACIUM
It needs be done.
I’ll knock down the spider-webs there from the door and from the wall.
GELASIMUS
I’ faith, a troublesome business, this.
PHILUMENA
Still, I don’t at all understand what it means; unless, perchance, some guests are about to come?
PINACIUM
(ordering the SERVANTS.)
Do you spread the couches.
GELASIMUS
(aside.)
The beginning pleases me, about the couches.
PINACIUM
Others, you chop the billets; others, you clean the fish which the fisherman has brought;
