More smooth than the sea, on which you have both been borne.
EPIGNOMUS
You do as you are wont to do other things. Do we unlade the ship to-day, brother?
PAMPHILUS
I would rather go quietly to work. Let’s rather lade ourselves with delights in their turn. How soon will the dinner be cooked? I haven’t breakfasted to-day.
EPIGNOMUS
Go in-doors to my house and bathe.
PAMPHILUS
I’ll only step home to my own house, to salute the Gods[*] and my wife.
If I do that as I wish, I’ll forthwith return to your house.
EPIGNOMUS
But your wife is hastening to come here with her sister.
PAMPHILUS
’Tis very good; there will then be the less delay on that account. I shall be at your house[*] this instant.
ANTIPHO
(to PAMPHILUS.)
Before you go away, in your presence I wish to relate a single story to him.
EPIGNOMUS
By all means.
ANTIPHO
There was once an old gentleman, just as I now am; he had two daughters, such as mine now are; they were married to two brothers,
just as mine now are to yourselves.
PAMPHILUS
I wonder how the story is to turn out?
ANTIPHO
One of these young men had, as you (to PAMPHILUS) now have, a damsel, a music-girl; he had brought her from abroad, as you have now done. Now, this old gentleman was a widower, just as I now am.
PAMPHILUS
Do proceed; this story is really à propos.
ANTIPHO
Then said this old gentleman to him to whom the music-girl belonged, just as I now say to you—
PAMPHILUS
I’m listening[*], and carefully giving heed.
ANTIPHO
I gave you my daughter, to be a comfortable bedfellow for you; now, I think it fair that one should be given me in return by you, to be my bed-fellow.
PAMPHILUS
Who says that? Does he say it[*] just as though you were to say it?
ANTIPHO
Just as I now say it to you.
Aye, I’ll give you two of them, says this young man, if one’s too little; and if you are not satisfied with two, says he, two more shall be added.
PAMPHILUS
Prithee, who says that? Does he say it just as though I were to say it?
ANTIPHO
He says it just as though you were to say it. Then says this old gentleman, just as though I were to say it, Well, give me four, if you like, so long only as, i’ faith, you find them something to eat as well, that they mayn’t consume my victuals.
PAMPHILUS
Why surely it must have been a stingy old chap to say that, in asking food as well of him who promised them to him.
