Who is this Peniculus The one with which the shoes are wiped clean 2? Why then did you bid me a while since prepare a breakfast for you?Ĭertainly you did, for yourself and your Parasite.Ī plague, what Parasite? Surely this woman isn't quite right in her senses. Take it, then I'll know now whether she loves myself or the purse most. I' faith, and rightly have you put me in mind. That purse that you are carrying has been smelt out by her.Īside. I wonder very much what's the meaning of this business.Īside. I' faith, this woman really does address me rightly by my name. But, prithee, why not go in? There, it will be more suitable for you. Heyday! You are making fun, my dear Menaechmus. In Epidamnus? A man who, until this day, has never put a foot here inside of this city. In that same place where he has known me for this long time, in Epidamnus. Where have you yourself known this person? For to such a degree are all these Courtesans wheedlers out of one's money. For, by my faith, you alone make me, by your kindnesses, to be thriving.įor sure this woman is either mad or drunk, Messemo, that addresses me, a person whom she knows not in so familiar a way.ĭidn't I say that these things are in the habit of occurring here? The leaves are falling now in comparison with this, if we shall be here for three days, the trees will be tumbling upon you. Troth, inasmuch as Venus has willed that you singly above all I should exalt and that not without your deserving it. What business have I ever had with you, or have I now? To whom is this woman addressing herself? The breakfast, as you ordered, is prepared here when you please, you may go and take your place.
Everything's ready as you requested and as you desired nor have you now any delay in-doors. My dear life, it seems wonderful to me that you are standing here out of doors, for whom the door is wide open, more so than your own house, inasmuch as this house is at your service. Now I'll accost him I'll address him of my own accord. And right willingly is such usage shown to him, as he deserves to be of especial importance in my house. But where is he whom the Cook said was in front of the house? O, I see him there-one who is of service to me, and who profits me very much. Our agreableness is for the lover's loss, for our own gain. Lay down the couches, burn the perfumes neatness, that is the charm for the minds of lovers. I don't want it shut: prepare, attend, and provide within what is requisite, let it be done.
