Prithee, what’s this that you know?
STRATILAX
How Strabax, my master’s son, is ruining himself at your house; how you are all enticing him to fraud and present-making.
ASTAPHIUM
If you appeared in your senses, I’d tell you. You’re uttering abuse only;
not a person is in the habit of being ruined here at our house; they waste their property; when they’ve wasted their property, they may go bare thence, if they choose. I don’t know this young man of yours.
STRATILAX
Indeed so.
ASTAPHIUM
In sober truth.[*]
STRATILAX
Aye, but that garden wall[*] that’s in our garden says so, which is becoming every night less by a brick, over which he travels to your house on the road to destruction.
ASTAPHIUM
The wall’s an old one; it isn’t wonderful if the bricks, being old, do tumble down.
STRATILAX
And says thee, hussy, that old bricks do tumble down? By my fakes, may never any mortal man henceforth trust me upon the two grand points[*], if I don’t inform of these goings on of yours to my elder master.
ASTAPHIUM
Is he a savage as well?
