(The PIPER stops playing while he drinks the water.)

SAGARINUS

Take this, you; toss it off. The drink didn’t please him just now; now at last he takes it with less difficulty. Take it, you. (To STEPHANIUM.) In the meantime, apple of my eye, give me a kiss while he’s drinking.

STEPHANIUM

Why, it’s the way of a common strumpet, for a damsel to give a kiss standing to her sweetheart as he stands.¹
765
(She turns away, while he tries to kiss her.)

Bravo! bravo! that’s the way it’s given to a thief².

SAGARINUS

Come, blow out your cheeks now; something in the amorous way³ at once. Give us a new tune in return for the old wine.
