eusium, you step over to our place.
[EXEUNT _Eleusium_ AND OTHERS INTO HOUSE OF _Megadorus_.

_Cong._

O Pythodice subdole,
hucine detrusti me ad senem parcissimum?
ubi si quid poscam, usque ad ravim poscam prius
quam quicquam detur.

Oh, you're a wily one, Pythodicus! Shoving me off on this
old screw, eh? If I ask for anything there, I can ask myself
hoarse before I get a thing.

_Pyth._

Stultus et sine gratia es.
[4]tibi recte facere, quando quod facias perit.

An ungrateful blockhead is what you are. The idea of doing
you a favour, when it's only thrown away!

_Cong._

Qui vero?

Eh? How so?

_Pyth._

Rogitas? iam principio in aedibus
turba istic nulla tibi erit: siquid uti voles, 340
domo abs te adferto, ne operam perdas poscere.
his autem apud nos magna turba ac familia est
supellex, aurum, vestis, vasa argentea:

How so? Well, in the first place there won't be an
uproarious gang in that house to get in your way: if you
need anything, just you fetch it from home so as not to
waste time asking for it. Here at our establishment, though,
we do have a great big uproarious gang of servants, and
knick-knackery and jewellery and clothes and silver plate
lying about.

ibi si perierit quippiam--quod te scio
facile abstinere posse, si nihil obviam est--
dicant: coqui abstulerunt, comprehendite,
vincite, verberate, in puteum condite.
horum tibi istic nihil eveniet: quippe qui
ubi quid subripias nihil est. sequere hac me.

Now if anything was missing,--of course it's easy for you
to keep your hands off, provided there's nothing in reach,--
they'd say: "The cooks got away with it! Collar 'em! Tie 'em
up! Thrash 'em! Throw 'em in the dungeon!" Now over there
(_pointing to Euclio's_) nothing like this will happen to
you--as there's nothing at all about for you to filch.
(_going toward Euclio's house_) Come along.

_Cong._

Sequor.

(_sulkily_) Coming. (_he and the rest follow_)

II. 6.

Scene 6.

_Pyth._

Heus, Staphyla, prodi atque ostium aperi.

(_knocking at door_) Hey! Staphyla! Come here and open the
door.

_Staph._

Qui vocat? 350

(_within_) Who is it?

_Pyth._

Pythodicus.

Pythodicus.
