See, he’s coming from his place of exercise.[*]
485
(Enter from DORIO’S house, DORIO, followed by PHAEDRIA.)
PHAEDRIA
Prithee, hear me, Dorio.
DORIO
I’ll not hear you.
PHAEDRIA
Only a moment.
DORIO
Let me alone.
PHAEDRIA
Do hear what I have to say.
DORIO
Why really I am tired of hearing the same thing a thousand times over.
PHAEDRIA
But now, I have something to tell you that you’ll hear with pleasure.
DORIO
Speak then; I’m listening.
PHAEDRIA
Can I not prevail on you to wait for only three days? Whither are you going now?
DORIO
I was wondering if you had any thing new to offer.
ANTIPHO
(apart, to GETA.)
I’m afraid for this Procurer, lest—
GETA
(apart, to ANTIPHO.)
Something may befall his own safety.[*]
PHAEDRIA
You don’t believe me?
DORIO
You guess right.
PHAEDRIA
But if I pledge my word.
DORIO
Nonsense!
PHAEDRIA
You will have reason to say that this kindness was well laid out by you on interest.
DORIO
Stuff!
PHAEDRIA
Believe me, you will be glad you did so; upon my faith, it is the truth.
DORIO
Mere dreams!
PHAEDRIA
Do but try; the time is not long.
DORIO
The same story over again.
PHAEDRIA
You will be my kinsman, my father, my friend; you—
DORIO
Now, do prate on.
PHAEDRIA
For you to be of a disposition so harsh and inexorable, that neither by pity nor by entreaties can you be softened!
DORIO
For you to be of a disposition so unreasonable and so unconscionable, Phaedria,
that you can be talking me over with fine words,[*] and be for amusing yourself with what’s my property for nothing!
ANTIPHO
(apart, to GETA.)
I am sorry for him.
PHAEDRIA
(aside.)
Alas! I feel it to be too true.
