Please now, is my door apt to bite[*], that you are afraid to come in, my love?

DINARCHUS
(aside.)

Behold the spring! How all blooming it is! how fragrantly does it smell! how brightly does it shine.

PHRONESIUM

Why so ill-mannered, as not, on your arrival from Lemnos [*], to give a kiss to your mistress, my Dinarchus?

DINARCHUS
(aside.)

O dear, by my troth, I’m being punished now, and most terribly—

PHRONESIUM

Why do you turn yourself away?

DINARCHUS

My greetings to you, Phronesium.

PHRONESIUM

Greetings to you as well. Will you dine here to-day, as you’ve arrived in safety?

DINARCHUS

I’m engaged.

PHRONESIUM

Where will you dine then?

DINARCHUS

Wherever you request me; here.

PHRONESIUM

You’ll give me pleasure by doing so.

(They take their places at a collation spread before the house.)

DINARCHUS

I’ troth, myself still more. You’ll give me your company to-day, I suppose, my Phronesium?

PHRONESIUM

If it could possibly be done, I would.

DINARCHUS

Give me my shoes[*] then—make haste, remove the table.

PHRONESIUM

Are you in your senses, pray?

DINARCHUS

By heavens, I cannot drink now; so sick at heart am I.

PHRONESIUM

Stay; something shall be done. Don’t go.

DINARCHUS

Ah, you’ve refreshed me with cold water! My senses have now returned. Take off my shoes[*]; give me something to drink.

PHRONESIUM

By my faith, you are just the same that you used to be. But tell me, have you sped successfully?

DINARCHUS

I’ troth, successfully enough, indeed, hither to you, inasmuch as I enjoy the opportunity of seeing you.

PHRONESIUM

Embrace me then.

DINARCHUS

With pleasure. (He embraces her.) Oh, this is honey sweeter than sweet honey. In this, Jove, my fortune does exceed thine own!

PHRONESIUM

Won’t you give me a kiss?

DINARCHUS

Aye, ten even.

(Kisses her.)

PHRONESIUM

You are not niggardly in that. You promise more than I ask of you.

(Turns away her head.)

DINARCHUS

I only wish that from the first I had been as sparing of my property, as you are now thrifty of your kisses.

PHRONESIUM

If I could possibly cause you any saving, i’ troth, I could wish it done.

DINARCHUS

Have you bathed then?

PHRONESIUM

I’ troth, indeed I have then, to my own satisfaction and that of my eyes. Do I seem to be loathsome to you?

DINARCHUS

I’ faith, not to myself indeed;
