Right heartily I wish you health[*].

EPIGNOMUS

You speak kindly, and like a friend. May the Gods grant what you wish.

GELASIMUS

⋯

EPIGNOMUS

I, sup there with you?

GELASIMUS

Since you are returned safe.[*]

EPIGNOMUS

Really, an engagement has been made already; but I give you thanks.

GELASIMUS

Do promise me.

EPIGNOMUS

It’s settled.

GELASIMUS

But do, I say.

EPIGNOMUS

The thing’s agreed on.

GELASIMUS

By my troth, you’d do it with much pleasure to me.

EPIGNOMUS

I know that well.

When an opportunity shall come, it shall be so.

GELASIMUS

Now, then, is the opportunity.

EPIGNOMUS

I’ faith, I cannot.

GELASIMUS

Why make difficulties? Do consider; I have I know not what luxuries at hand[*].

EPIGNOMUS

Do be off, now; seek for yourself another guest for to-day.

GELASIMUS

You promise, then?

EPIGNOMUS

I would make no difficulty if I could.

GELASIMUS

Really, on my word, one thing, for sure, I promise you, I’d entertain you with pleasure, beyond a doubt, if you would promise.

EPIGNOMUS

Adieu!

(Moving.)

GELASIMUS

Have you resolved?

EPIGNOMUS

I have resolved. I shall dine at home.

GELASIMUS
(aside.)

Since nothing has been effected this way, I’ll therefore approach him by a more open path, and I’ll speak plainly out.
