PLESIDIPPUS

Tell me all these things over again my life, my Trachalio, my freed-man, my patron, aye rather, my father; has Palaestra found her father and mother?
1265

TRACHALIO

She has found them.

PLESIDIPPUS

And is she my countrywoman?

TRACHALIO

So I think.

PLESIDIPPUS

And is she to marry me?

TRACHALIO

So I suspect.

PLESIDIPPUS

Prithee, do you reckon that he will betroth her to me?

TRACHALIO

So I reckon¹.

PLESIDIPPUS

Well, shall I congratulate her father too upon his finding her?
1270

TRACHALIO

So I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

Well, her mother too?

TRACHALIO

So I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

What then do you reckon?

TRACHALIO

What you ask me, I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

Tell me then how much do you reckon it at?

TRACHALIO

What I, I reckon—

PLESIDIPPUS

Then really, do carry over². Don’t be always making a reckoning.

TRACHALIO

So I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

What if I run?

(Pretends to run.)

TRACHALIO

So I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

Or rather gently, this way?

(He walks slowly.)

TRACHALIO

So I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

Ought I to salute her as well when I arrive?
1275

TRACHALIO

So I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

Her father too?

TRACHALIO

So I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

After that, her mother?

TRACHALIO

So I reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

And what after that? When I arrive, should I also embrace her father?

TRACHALIO

So I don’t reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

Well, her mother?

TRACHALIO

So I don’t reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

Well, her own self?

TRACHALIO

So I don’t reckon.

PLESIDIPPUS

Confusion, he has closed his reckoning³; now when I wish him, he doesn’t reckon.

TRACHALIO

You are not in your senses; follow me.
1280

PLESIDIPPUS

Conduct me, my patron, where you please.

(They go into the cottage of DAEMONES.)
