Will you not be off from here? Perhaps you suppose that I don’t see what you’re about. Do you look to yourself, please.
(To PAMPHILUS.) How that fellow is gaping after your property just like a hungry wolf. Don’t you know how men are set upon here in the street at night?
PAMPHILUS
So many the more servants will I bid to come and fetch me, that they may protect me.
EPIGNOMUS
He won’t stir—he won’t stir; because you persuade him so earnestly not to go out.
GELASIMUS
Do order a dinner to be cooked at home with all speed for me and for yourself and your wife.
Troth, if you do so, I don’t think you’ll say that you are deceived.
PAMPHILUS
So far as that dinner is concerned, Gelasimus, you may be dinnerless to-day.
GELASIMUS
Are you going abroad to dine?
PAMPHILUS
I’m going to dine at my brother’s, hard by.
GELASIMUS
Is that fixed?
PAMPHILUS
Fixed.
GELASIMUS
By my troth, I hope you may be struck with a stone this day.
PAMPHILUS
I’m not afraid; I shall go through the garden; I’ll not go abroad.
EPIGNOMUS
What say you to that, Gelasimus?
GELASIMUS
You’re entertaining your deputies; keep them to yourself.
EPIGNOMUS
Why, faith, ’tis your own business.
GELASIMUS
If, indeed, ’tis my own business, avail yourself of my assistance; invite me.
EPIGNOMUS
By my faith, I see, as I fancy, one place still for yourself only, where you may recline.
PAMPHILUS
Really, I do think it may be managed.
GELASIMUS
O light of the city!
EPIGNOMUS
If you can manage to recline in a small compass.
GELASIMUS
Aye, even between two wedges[*] of iron.
As little space as a puppy can lie in, the same will be enough for me.
EPIGNOMUS
I’ll beg for it some way or other; come along.
(Pulls him along.)
GELASIMUS
What? This way?
EPIGNOMUS
Yes, to prison. For here, indeed, you’ll not find any further entertainment[*]. Let’s be off, you Pamphilus.
PAMPHILUS
I’ll but salute the Gods: then I’ll pass through to your house forthwith.
GELASIMUS
What then?
EPIGNOMUS
Why, I said that you might go to prison.
GELASIMUS
Well, if you order it,
