Hallo! Astaphium, do stop a moment, before you go away.
ASTAPHIUM
Who’s calling me back?
DINARCHUS
You shall know; look back this way.
ASTAPHIUM
Who is it?
DINARCHUS
One who wishes many a blessing to yourselves.
ASTAPHIUM
Give them then, if you wish us to have them.
DINARCHUS
I’ll let you have them. Only do look back this way.
ASTAPHIUM
O dear, you’re teazing wretched me to death, whoever you are.
(Runs on.)
DINARCHUS
Worst of women, stop.
ASTAPHIUM
Best of men, go on; you are troublesome. (Turns round.) Is that Dinarchus? Why, it is he.
DINARCHUS
He’s going to your house;
and do you give me your hand (holding out his) in return, and walk together with me.
ASTAPHIUM
I am your servant, and am obedient to your command.
(Gives her hand.)
DINARCHUS
Yourself, how are you?
ASTAPHIUM
I’m well, and am holding by the hand one who’s well. Since you’ve arrived from abroad, a dinner must be given[*].
DINARCHUS
You speak obligingly.
ASTAPHIUM
But, prithee, do let me go whither she ordered me.
(Withdrawing her hand.)
DINARCHUS
(lets go her hand.)
Be off then. But how say you—?
ASTAPHIUM
What do you want?
DINARCHUS
He, that you are on your road to, who is it that you’re going to fetch?
ASTAPHIUM
Achiva, the midwife.
DINARCHUS
You are an artful damsel.
ASTAPHIUM
I’m as usual then; that’s my practice.[*]
DINARCHUS
You deceitful hussy, I’ve caught you detected in a lie.
ASTAPHIUM
How so, pray?
DINARCHUS
Because you said that you were going to bring his own self, and not herself. A woman, then, has been made out of a man. You are an artful one.
ASTAPHIUM
A conjurer!
DINARCHUS
But, pray, tell me, Astaphium who is this person? A new lover?
ASTAPHIUM
I think that you are a gentleman too much at his ease.
DINARCHUS
Why now do you think so?
