Sangarinvs

Salvete, Athenae, quae nutrices Graeciae,

sperata erilis patria, te video libens.
650

sed amica mea et conserva quid agat Stephanium

curaest, ut valeat. nam Sticho mandaveram,

salutem ut nuntiaret atque ei ut diceret

me hodie venturum, ut cenam coqueret temperi.

sed Stichus est hic quidem.
655

Stichvs

Fecisti, ere, facetias,

quom hoc donavisti dono tuom servom Stichum.

pro di immortales, quot ego voluptates fero,

quot risiones, quot iocos, quot savia,

saltationes, blanditias, prothymias.

Sangarinvs

Stiche.
660

Stichvs

Hem.

Sangarinvs

Quíd fit?

Stichvs

Euge, Sangarine lepidissume.

fero convivam Dionysum mihique et tibi.

namque edepol cena cocta est, locus liber datust

mihi et tibi apud vos (nam apud nos est convivium,

ibi voster cenat cum uxore adeo et Antipho,

ibidem erus est noster), hoc mihi dono datumst.
665

Sangarinvs

Quis somniavit aurum?

Stichvs

Quid id ad te attinet?

proin tu lavare propera.

Sangarinvs

Lautus sum.

Stichvs

Optime,

sequere ergo hác me íntro.

Sangarinvs

Ego vero sequor.

Stichvs

volo eluamus hodie, peregrina omnia

relinque, Athenas nunc colamus. sequere me.—
670

Sangarinvs

Sequor, et domum redeunti principium placet.

bona scaeva strenaque obviam occessit mihi.—

649 (Enter SAGARINUS.)

SAGARINUS

Hail! Athens , thou nurse of Greece ;

country of my master, hail! How joyously do I behold thee. But I have a wish to see how my mistress and fellow-servant, Stephanium, is faring. For I bade Stichus to give her my regards, and to tell her that I should come to-day, so that she might cook a dinner in good time.
650

But, surely, here’s Stichus.
655
(with a cask of wine)

STICHUS

(to himself.)

A clever thing you did, master, when you presented your servant, Stichus, with this gift. O ye immortal Gods! how many delights do I carry, how many smiles, how many jokes, how many a kiss, dancing, dalliance, and good-fellowship.

SAGARINUS

Stichus,
660

how fare you?

STICHUS

Right well, Sagarinus, most delightfully; I’m bringing Dionysus¹, as my guest and yours. For, i’ faith, the dinner’s cooked; free range has been given me and you at your house. For at our house there’s an entertainment; your master’s dining there with his wife, and Antipho as well;

there, too, is my master. This was given me as a present.
665
(Points to the cask.)

SAGARINUS

How? Are you dreaming?

STICHUS

I’ faith, I’m telling you the truth.

SAGARINUS

Who then gave you this?

STICHUS

What matters that to you?

I wish us this day to wash away everything of foreign climes.

Leave them alone; let’s now attend to Athens ; follow me.
670

Do you at once make haste, and bathe.

SAGARINUS

I have bathed.

STICHUS

Very good follow me, then, this. way in-doors, Sagarinus.

SAGARINUS

Of course, I follow. By my troth, this beginning pleases me as I return home; a happy omen and augury² has met me in my path.

(They go into the house of PAMPHILUS.)
