COCK

Your friend Eucrates, if you like. See, this door has opened too, so let’s go in.

MICYLLUS

All this belonged to me a little while ago.

COCK

Why, are you still dreaming of your wealth? Do you see Eucrates and his servant, old man as he is. . .?

MICYLLUS

Yes, by Heaven, I see lust and sensuality and lewdness ill befitting a human being; and in another quarter I see his wife and the cook . . .

Ἀλεκτρυών

παρὰ τὸν σὸν Εὐκράτην, εἰ δοκεῖ. καὶ ἰδοὺ γάρ, ἀνέῳγε καὶ αὕτη ἡ θύρα· ὥστε εἰσίωμεν.

Μίκυλλος

ἅπαντα ταῦτα μικρὸν ἔμπροσθεν ἐμὰ ἦν.

Ἀλεκτρυών

ἔτι γὰρ σὺ ὀνειροπολεῖς τὸν πλοῦτον; ὁρᾷς δʼ οὖν τὸν Εὐκράτην αὐτὸν μὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ οἰκέτου πρεσβύτην ἄνθρωπον ;

Μίκυλλος

ὁρῶ νὴ Δία καταπυγοσύνην καὶ πασχητιασμόν τινα καὶ ἀσέλγειαν οὐκ ἀνθρωπίνην· τὴν γυναῖκα δὲ ἑτέρωθι ὑπὸ τοῦ μαγείρου καὶ αὐτήν

Cock

What about your friend Eucrates? See, the door stands open; let us go in.

Micyllus

An hour ago, all this was mine!

Cock

Still the golden dream!—Look at the hoary old reprobate: with one of his own slaves!

Micyllus

Monstrous! And his wife is not much better; she takes her paramour from the kitchen.
