I’ troth, I do accept them kindly and thankfully. (To CYAMUS, who comes out of the house.) Go, Cyamus, and order them to be taken in-doors.

Do you hear at all this which has been ordered? (The SERVANTS take up the things.)

GETA

I don’t want them to take away the vessels; I’d like to have them emptied.

PHRONESIUM

An impudent fellow, i’ faith, how busy he is.

GETA

What? do you say that I’m impudent, you who yourself are a receptacle of villany?

PHRONESIUM

Tell me, I beg of you, where is Dinarchus?

GETA

At home.

PHRONESIUM

Tell him, that, for these presents which he has sent me,

I love him the most of all men, and that in return I hold him in the highest esteem of all, and entreat that he will come hither to me.

GETA

This instant. But who’s that person, pray (looking towards STRATOPHANES), that’s devouring himself[*], scowling with malignant eyes I’ faith, the man’s distressed in his mind,

whoever he is.

PHRONESIUM

I’ troth, he’s deserving of it.

GETA

What’s the matter?

PHRONESIUM

Prithee, don’t you know?[*] He that’s yonder used to live with me; he, there, is the father of my child. He ordered it to be brought up till about a before-daylight breakfast[*]. I waited his coming, I listened to his injunctions; I attended to the child.

GETA

The good-for-nothing fellow that I knew so well, prithee, is that he?

PHRONESIUM

That’s he.

GETA

He looks at me as he groans.

He heaved a sigh from the very bottom of his breast. Observe that now; he gnashes his teeth; he strikes his thigh. Prithee, is he deranged[*], that he’s beating his own self?

STRATOPHANES
(coming forward.)

Now will I at once summon up my ungovernable indignation and my wrath from my breast!

(To GETA.) Say, whence are you? To whom do you belong? Why have you dared to speak rudely against me?

GETA

It’s my pleasure.

STRATOPHANES

Do you answer me in that way?

GETA

In this way (snaps his fingers); I don’t care one straw for you.

STRATOPHANES
(to PHRONESIUM.)

What say you? Why have you dared to say that you love another man?

PHRONESIUM

I chose to.

STRATOPHANES

Say you so, indeed? I’ll first make trial of that. Do you, for the sake of such a shabby present,
