Pyrgopolinices

Quod volui ut volui impetravi, per amicitiam et gratiam,
1200

a Philocomasio.

Palaestrio

Quid tam intus fuisse te dicam diu?

Pyrgopolynices

Numquam ego me tam sensi amari quam nunc ab illa muliere.

Palaestrio

Quid iam?

Pyrgopolynices

Vt multa verba feci, ut lenta materies fuit.

verum postremo impetravi ut volui: donavi dedi

quae voluit, quae postulavit; te quoque ei dono dedi.
1205

Palaestrio

Etiam me? quo modo ego vivam sine te?

Pyrgopolynices

Age, animo bono es,

eidem ego te illim liberabo. nam si possem ullo modo

impetrare ut abiret, ne te abduceret, operam dedi;

verum oppressit.

Palaestrio

Deos sperabo teque. postremo tamen

etsi istuc mi acerbumst, quia ero te carendum est optimo,
1210

saltem id volup est, quom ex virtute formae évenit tibi

mea opera super hac vicina, quam ego nunc concilio tibi.

Pyrgopolynices

Quid opust verbis? libertatem tibi ego et divitias dabo,

si impetras.

Palaestrio

Reddam impetratum.

Pyrgopolynices

At gestio.

Palaestrio

At modice decet:

moderare animo, ne sis cupidus. séd eccam ipsam, egreditur foras.

1200 (Enter PYRGOPOLINICES from his house.)

PYRGOPOLINICES

What I wished I have obtained just as I wished, on kind and friendly terms, that she would leave me.
1200

PALAESTRIO

For what reason am I to say that you have been so long in-doors?

PYRGOPOLINICES

I never was so sensible that I was beloved by that woman as now.

PALAESTRIO

Why so?

PYRGOPOLINICES

How many words she did utter! How the matter was protracted! But in the end I obtained what I wanted, and I granted her

what she wanted and what she asked of me. I made a present of you also to her.
1205

PALAESTRIO

What—me, too? In what way shall I exist without you?

PYRGOPOLINICES

Come, be of good heart; I’ll make you free from exit, too. But I used all endeavours, if I could by any method persuade her to go away, and not take you with her, she forced me, however.

PALAESTRIO

In the Gods and yourself I’ll place my trust. Yet, at the last,

although it is bitter to me that I must be deprived of an excellent master, yourself, at least it is a pleasure to me that, through my means, by reason of the excellence of your beauty, this has happened to you with regard to this lady neighbour, whom I am now introducing to you.

What need of words? I’ll give you liberty and wealth if you obtain her for me.

PALAESTRIO

I’ll win her.

PYRGOPOLINICES

But I’m impatient.

PALAESTRIO

But moderation is requisite;

curb your desires; don’t be over anxious. But see, here she is herself; she is coming out of doors.
