Did you see him yourself?
PINACIUM
Yes, and with pleasure too.
GELASIMUS
I’ faith, I’ll surely take the broom, and sweep this place with pleasure.
PINACIUM
He has brought a great amount of silver and gold.
GELASIMUS
’Tis right cleverly done.
PINACIUM
Wool and purple in plenty.
GELASIMUS
Aye, for me to clothe my carcase with.
PINACIUM
Couches, adorned with ivory and gold.
GELASIMUS
I’ll recline at table right regally.
PINACIUM
Besides—Babylonian coverings for couches[*], and carpets dyed in purple, has he brought.
GELASIMUS
Abundance of fine things.
I’ faith, his business has been successful.
PINACIUM
Then, as I began to say, female players on the harp, on the pipe, sackbuts too[*], has he brought with him, of surprising beauty.
GELASIMUS
Capital! When I’m at my wine, I’ll be quite sportive; then am I in merriest pin.
PINACIUM
Besides many unguents of numerous kinds.
GELASIMUS
I’ll not sell my bon mots; I’ll not have an auction now; I’ve got an estate in fee[*].
Let the mischievous hunters of auctions go to perdition. Hercules, I congratulate thee that the tenths which I vowed to thee are increased. ’Tis my hope that at length, by some means or other, I may expel this plaguy famine from my stomach.
PINACIUM
And then, besides, he has brought some Parasites[*] with him.
GELASIMUS
Alas! to my confusion, I’m undone.
PINACIUM
Right funny fellows.
GELASIMUS
I’ faith, I’ll sweep this dust back, which I just now swept together. (Sweeps it back.)
Those bon mots are now on sale, which I was saying I wouldn’t sell. I’m done for: now there is occasion for spiteful persons to rejoice at my misfortune.
Hercules, thou who art a God, thou really hast departed not opportunely.
PHILUMENA
Did you see Pamphilus, the husband of my sister?
PINACIUM
No.
PHILUMENA
Isn’t he there?
PINACIUM
Yes, they said that he had come as well. I ran hither before them, with all speed, that I might bring the welcome tidings.
PHILUMENA
Go in-doors, Pinacium; bid the servants prepare the sacred things[*] for me. (To GELASIMUS.) Fare you well!
GELASIMUS
Do you want me to assist?
PHILUMENA
I have servants enough in the house.
