1024 (GNATHO. THRASO.)

GNATHO

Quid nunc? qua spe aut quo consilio huc imus? quid inceptas, Thraso?

THRASO

Egone? ut Thaidi me dedam, et faciam quod iubeat.
1025

GNATHO

Quid est?

THRASO

Qui minus quam Hercules servivit Omphalae?

GNATHO

Exemplum placet.

Utinam tibi commitigari videam sandalio caput.

Sed fores crepuerunt ab ea.

THRASO

Perii. Quid hoc autem est mali?

Hunc ego numquam videram etiam: quidnam hic properans prosilit?

GNATHO

(to THRASO.)

Well now? With what hope, or what design, are we come hither? What do you intend to do, Thraso?

THRASO

What, I? To surrender myself to Thais, and do what she bids me.
1025

GNATHO

What is it you say?

THRASO

Why any the less so, than Hercules served Omphale.¹

GNATHO

The precedent pleases me. (Aside.) I only wish I may see your head stroked down with a slipper;² but her door makes a noise.

THRASO

Confusion! Why, what mischiefsthis? I never saw this person before; why, I wonder, is he rushing out in such a hurry?

(They stand aside.)
