Evclio

Hoc quidem hercle, quoquo íbo, mecum erit, mecum feram,

neque isti id in tantis periclis umquam committam ut siet.
450

ite sane nunciam omnes, et coqui et tibicinae,

etiam íntro duce, si vis, vel gregem venalium,

coquite, facite, festinate nunciam quantum libet.

Congrio

Temperi, postquam implevisti fusti fissorum caput.

Evclio

Intro abite, opera huc conducta est vostra, non oratio.
455

Congrio

Heus, senex, pro vapulando hercle égo abs te mercedem petam.

coctum ego, non vapulatum, dudum conductus fui.

Evclio

Lege agito mecum. molestus ne sis. i et cenam coque,

aut abi in malum cruciatum ab aedibus.

Congrio

Abi tu modo.—

449 (Enter EUCLIO, from his house, with the pot of money under his cloak.)

EUCLIO

(to himself, as he enters.)

This, by my faith, wherever I shall go, really shall be with me, and with myself will I carry it,

nor will I ever again entrust it to that place, for it to be in such great peril. (Speaking to CONGRIO and his SCULLIONS.) Now, then, go you all of you in the house, cooks and music-girls; introduce even, if you like, a whole company of hirelings ¹; cook, bustle, and hurry now at once just as much as you please.
450

LYCONIDES

O dear, I’m a ruined man.

EUCLIO

Be off! your labour was hired here, not your talk.
455

LYCONIDES

Harkye, old gentleman, for the beating, by my faith, I shall demand of you a recompense. I was hired a while ago to cook, and not to be basted.

EUCLIO

Proceed against me at law! Don’t be troublesome! Either cook the dinner, or away with you from the house to downright perdition!

LYCONIDES

Go there yourself then. (CONGRIO and the COOKS and MUSIC-GIRL go back into the house.)
