erunti clueas gloria.

Well then, you can look in the next world for that glorious
name of yours.

_Tynd._

Qui per virtutem, periit, at non interit. 690

The man that dies in a worthy cause does not perish utterly.

_Hegio_

Quando ego te exemplis pessumis cruciavero
atque ob sutelas tuas te morti misero,
vel te interiisse vel periisse praedicent;
dum pereas, nihil intererit: dicant vivere.

After I've tortured you in the most excruciating ways
possible, and sent you to perdition for the lies you've
patched up, let 'em announce that you've perished utterly,
or that you've merely died; so long as you're dead, no
matter--they can say you're living, for all I care.

_Tynd._

Pol si istuc faxis, haud sine poena feceris,
si ille hue rebitet, sicut confido affore.

You do that, sir, and I swear it will cost you dear, if my
master comes back, as I expect him to do.

_Arist._

Pro di immortales, nunc ego teneo, nunc scio
quid hoc sit negoti. meus sodalis Philocrates
in libertate est ad patrem in patria. bene est,
nec quisquam est mihi, aeque melius cui velim. 700
sed hoc mihi aegre est, me huic dedisse operam malam,

(_aside_) Great God! Now I see it! Now I understand what it
all means! My chum Philocrates is free, has gone home to his
father. Good! And not a friend have I got that I wish better
luck to, either. But I do feel bad about the cursed way I've
treated Tyndarus here! He's got me and my tongue to thank
for being strapped up at this moment.

_Hegio_

Votuin te quicquam mi hodie falsum proloqui?

Didn't I tell you not to deceive me in the slightest
particular?

_Tynd._

Votuisti.

Yes.

_Hegio_

Cur es ausus mentiri mihi?

Then why did you dare lie to me?

_Tynd._

Quia vera obessent illi quoi operam dabam:
nunc falsa prosunt.

Because the truth would have harmed the person I was trying
to help: as it is, deceit has served his turn.

_Hegio_

At tibi oberunt.

It won't serve yours, however.

_Tynd._

Optumest.
at erum servavi, quem servatum gaudeo.
cui me custodem addiderat erus maior meus.
sed malene id factum arbitrare?

Very well, sir. I saved my master, at any rate, and I'm
happy in hav
