or else assuredly, together with this wife of his, I’ll be forbidding him the house.
GETA
(aside.)
He’s in a passion.
PHORMIO
You’ll be acting more considerately.
DEMIPHO
Are you so resolved, you unlucky fellow, to do me all the mischief you can?
PHORMIO
(aside, to GETA.)
He’s afraid of us, although he’s so careful to conceal it.
GETA
(aside, to PHORMIO.)
Your beginning has turned out well.
PHORMIO
But if, on the contrary,
you endure what must be endured, you’ll be doing what’s worthy of you, so that we may be on friendly terms.
DEMIPHO
(indignantly.)
What, I seek your friendship, or have any wish to see or hear you?
PHORMIO
If you can agree with her, you will have some one to cheer up your old age; just consider your time of life.
DEMIPHO
Let her cheer up yourself; keep her to yourself.
PHORMIO
Really, do moderate your passion.
DEMIPHO
Mark what I say. There have been words enough already; if you don’t make haste to fetch away the woman, I shall turn her out: I have said it, Phormio.
PHORMIO
If you use her in any other manner than is befitting a free-born woman, I shall be bringing a swinging action against you: I have said it, Demipho.
(To GETA.) Hark you, if there should be any occasion for me, I shall be at home.
GETA
(apart.)
I understand you.
(Exit PHORMIO.)

(DEMIPHO, HEGIO, CRATINUS, CRITO, and GETA.)
DEMIPHO
What care and anxiety my son does bring upon me, by entangling himself and me in this same marriage! And he doesn’t so much as come into my sight, that at least I might know what he says about this matter. or what his sentiments are.
(To GETA.) Be off, go see whether he has returned home or not by this.
GETA
I will. (Goes into the house.)
DEMIPHO
(to the ASSISTANTS.)
You see how the case stands. What am I to do? Tell me, Hegio.
HEGIO
What, I? I think Cratinus ought, if it seems good to you.
DEMIPHO
Tell me, Cratinus.
CRATINUS
What, do you wish me to speak?
I should like you to do what is most for your advantage;
it is my opinion, that what this son of yours has done in your absence, in law and justice ought to be annulled; and that you’ll obtain redress. That’s my opinion.
DEMIPHO
Say now, Hegio.
HEGIO
I believe that he has spoken with due deliberation; but it is the fact, as many men, so many minds;[*] every, one his own way.
It doesn’t appear to me that what has been done by law can be revoked; and it is wrong to attempt it.
DEMIPHO
Speak, Crito.
CRITO
I am of opinion that we must deliberate further;[*] it is a, matter of importance.
