What need have you of it?
GELASIMUS
I’ faith, that I might invite him to dinner, and not invite you.
EPIGNOMUS
You are talking against your own interest.
GELASIMUS
This, then, that I might invite you both
⋯ for my part ⋯ I should not avoid[*] ⋯ there is nothing so ⋯ as this ⋯
EPIGNOMUS
Troth, now, I’d ask you with pleasure, if there were room left.
GELASIMUS
Well, standing, then, I’ll gobble down a bit in the scramble.
EPIGNOMUS
No, only this one thing can be done.
GELASIMUS
What?
EPIGNOMUS
When the guests have gone, that then you may come—
GELASIMUS
Hurra! capital!
EPIGNOMUS
To wash the pots, I mean; not to dinner.
GELASIMUS
The Gods confound you! What say you, Pamphilus?
PAMPHILUS
I’ troth, this day I’m engaged to dine elsewhere abroad.
GELASIMUS
How, abroad?
PAMPHILUS
Really abroad, on my word.
GELASIMUS
How the plague do you like, thus wearied, to be supping abroad?
PAMPHILUS
Which do you advise me?
GELASIMUS
Order a dinner to be cooked at home, and word to be sent to him who invited you.
PAMPHILUS
Shall I dine at home, alone?
GELASIMUS
Why, not alone; invite me.
PAMPHILUS
But I’m afraid lest he should scold me, who has been to this expense for my sake.
GELASIMUS
It may easily be excused—only listen to me; do order a dinner to be cooked at home.
EPIGNOMUS
Not by my advice, indeed, will he act so as to disappoint that person this day.
