Lysidamvs

Si sapitis, uxor, vos tamen cenabitis,
780

cena ubi erit cocta; égo ruri cenavero.

nam novom maritum ét novam nuptam volo

rus prosequi, novi hominum mores maleficos,

ne quis eam abripiat. facite vostro animo volup.

sed properate istum atque istam actutum emittere,
785

tandem ut † veniamus luci; égo cras hic ero.

cras habuero, uxor, ego tamen convivium.

Pardalisca

Fit quod futurum dixi: incenatum senem

foras extrudunt mulieres.

Lysidamvs

Quid tu hic agis?

Pardalisca

Ego eo quo me ipsa misit.
790

Lysidamvs

Veron?

Pardalisca

Serio.

Lysidamvs

Quid hic speculare?

Pardalisca

Nil equidem speculor.

Lysidamvs

Abi:

tu hic cunctas, intus alii festinant.

Pardalisca

Eo.—

Lysidamvs

Abi hinc sis ergo, pessumarum pessuma.

iamne abiit illaec? dicere hic quidvis licet.

qui amat, tamen hercle, si esurit, nullum esurit.
795

sed eccúm progreditur cum corona et lampade

meus socius, compar, commaritus vilicus.

780 (Enter STALINO, from the house.)

STALINO

(speaking to CLEOSTRATA, within.)

If you are wise, wife, you’ll dine, after all, when the dinner’s cooked. I shall dine in the country, for I’m desirous to attend the new-made husband and the newly-made bride into the country (I know the mischievous habits of persons), that no one may carry her off. Do you people indulge your appetite.
780

But do make haste and send him and her out immediately, that at least we may get there in daylight. I shall be here tomorrow; to-morrow, wife, I’ll be having a banquet still.
785

PARDALISCA

(aside.)

’Tis as I said it would be; the women are packing the old fellow dinnerless out of doors.

STALINO

(to PARDALISCA.)

What are you doing here?

PARDALISCA

I’m going whither she sent me.
790

STALINO

Really?

PARDALISCA

Seriously.

STALINO

What are you looking for here?

PARDALISCA

Really I’m looking for nothing at all.

STALINO

Be off; you are loitering here; the others are bustling about in-doors.

PARDALISCA

I’m off.

STALINO

Be off, then, will you, away from here, you jade of jades. (PARDALISCA goes into the house.) Is she gone then? I may now say here anything I please.

He that’s in love, i’ faith, even if he is hungry, isn’t hungry at all. But see, the bailiff, my associate¹, companion, and husband-in-copartnership, is coming out of doors with wreath and torch.
