ld me!

_Dem._

Si quid te volam,
ubi eris?

If I want you for anything, where will you be?

_Lib._

Ubicumque libitum erit animo meo 110
profecto nemo est quem iam dehinc metuam mihi
ne quid nocere possit, cum tu mihi tua
oratione omnem animum ostendisti tuom
quin te quoque ipsum facio haud magni, si hoc patro.
pergam quo occepi atque ibi consilia exordiar.

Precisely where it pleases my fancy. (_half aside_) I tell
you what, from now on I won't be scared of a man alive, for
fear he can do me any harm, after your showing me all the
secrets of your soul. Why, you won't count for much with me
your own self, either, if I carry this through. (_setting
off again_) I'll go along to where I was bound and lay my
plans there.

_Dem._

Audin tu? apud Archibulum ego ero argentarium.

Look here! I shall be at banker Archibulus's.

_Lib._

Nempe in foro?

In the forum, you mean?

_Dem._

Ibi, si quid opus fuerit.

Yes, there,--if anything's needed.

_Lib._

Meminero.

(_nonchalantly_) I'll keep it in mind.
[EXIT _Libanus_ TO FORUM.

_Dem._

Non esse servos peior hoc quisquam potest
nec magis versutus nec quo ab caveas aegrius
eidem homini, si quid recte curatum velis, 120
mandes: moriri sese misere mavolet,
quam non perfectum reddat quod promiserit.

A more rascally servant than this of mine can't be found, or
a wilier one, or one harder to guard against. But he's just
your man to commit a matter to, if you want it well managed:
he'd prefer to expire in pain and torment rather than fail
to fulfil his promise to the letter.

nam ego illud argentum tam paratum filio
scio esse quam me hunc scipionem contui.
sed quid ego cesso ire ad forum, quo inceperam?
[6]atque ibi manebo apud argentarium.

Why, I'm just as confident that that money is in store for
my son as that I've got my eyes on this cane here. But I
must be off to the forum, where I was going. Yes, and I'll
wait there at the banker's. [EXIT _Demaenetus_.

Scene 2.

ENTER _Argyrippus_ PRECIPITATELY FROM HOUSE OF _Cleareta._

_Argyr._

Sicine hoc fit? foras aedibus me eici?
promerenti optume hocin preti redditur?
bene merenti mala es,
