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.
(To EPIGNOMUS.) Since you, yourself, are not willing to promise to come to me,
should you like that I should come to dine with you?
EPIGNOMUS
If it were possible, I should like it; but here are nine other people[*] coming to dine at my house.
GELASIMUS
For my part, I don’t ask that I should recline on the couch; you know that I’m a man for the lower seats.
EPIGNOMUS
But these are deputies of a people, tip-top men they come here as public ambassadors from Ambracia [*].
GELASIMUS
Let then the deputies of a people, your tip-top men, recline at the tip-top place; I, the lowest, in the lowest quarter.
