Milphio

Exspécto quo pactó meae techinaé processuraé sient.

studeo hunc lenonem perdere, qui meum erum miserum macerat,

is me autem porro verberat, incursat pugnis, calcibus:

servire amanti miseria est, praesertim qui quod amat caret.

attat, e fano recipere video se Syncerastum,

lenonis servom; quid habeat sermonis auscultabo.

MILPHIO

I’m awaiting in what way my plot is to proceed. I’m bent upon ruining this Procurer, since he torments my afflicted master; but he in his turn beats me, and strikes me with his fist and heels.

It’s a misery to be in the service of one who is in love, especially one who is debarred from the object which he woos. Heyday! I see Syncerastus, the Procurer’s servant, betaking himself from the Temple. I’ll listen to what he has to say.
