§700Atque íngratiís, quia non vólt, nubet hódie.
And indeed, even against her will, because she does not want to, she shall marry today.
For why should I not accomplish what I have begun, so that she may marry me?
§703nostró vilico.
Indeed, I was wanting that, for our bailiff.
§703bSaepícule peccas.
You make mistakes rather often.
§704Timór praepedít verba.
Fear obstructs my words.
vérum, obsecró te, §705dic méd uxorem órare ut éxoret íllam, §706gládium ut ponat ét redire me íntro ut liceat.
But, I beseech you, tell my wife that I beg her to persuade that girl, so that she may lay down the sword and that I may be allowed to go back inside.
§706bNúntiabo.
I will report it.
§707Ét tu orato.
And you too, entreat her.
§707bEt ego órabo.
And I will entreat.
§707cAt blande órato, ut solés. sed audin?
But entreat coaxingly, as you are wont to do. But do you hear?
§708si efféxis hoc, soleás tibi dabo, et ánulum in digitum aúreum et bona plúruma.
if you accomplish this, I will give you sandals, and a golden ring for your finger, and very many good things.
§710Operám dabo.
I will do my best.
§710bFace ut ímpetres.
See to it that you succeed.
§712bAbi et cúra.
Go and take care.
§713_719redit éccum tandem opsónatu meus ádiutor, pompám ducit.

§720Vide, fúr, sentis súb signis ducás.
See, thief, you seem to lead briars under flags.
§720bQui vero hi súnt sentis?
But why indeed are these people briars?
§721Quia quód tetigere, ilíco rapiunt, si eás ereptum, ilíco scindunt: §722ita quóquo adveniunt, úbiubi sunt, duplicí damno dominós multant.
Because whatever they have touched, they immediately snatch, and if you go to rescue it, they immediately tear it: thus wherever they arrive, wherever they are, they punish their masters with double loss.
§723Heia.
Hey!
§723bÁttat.
Oh!

Stay indeed, although you are fastidious.
§727bFu fú, fetet tuos míhi sermo.
Phew, phew! Your talk stinks to me.
§728Quae rés?
What is the matter?
§728bHaec res.
This is the matter.
etiámne adstas? enim véro πράγματά μοι παρέχεις.
Are you still standing there? For indeed you are causing me trouble.
I will give you a great evil, as I think, unless you stand back.
O Zeus, can you not depart from me, unless you want me to vomit today?
§732Máne.
Stay.
§732bQuid est? quis hic ést homo?
What is it? Who is this man?
§733_735Erus súm.

§744Hisce érgo abeant.
Let these men, therefore, go inside.

Go inside quickly, immediately, and make haste.
§746ego iam íntus ero, facite cenam mihi ut ebria sit.
I will be inside soon; see to it that the dinner for me ut ebria sit.
§747séd lepide nitidéque volo, níl moror barbaricó bliteo.
But I want it charming and fine; I care nothing for rustic spinach-like food.
§748stasne etiam? i sis, ego hic habeo.
Are you still standing? Go, please, I have business here.
numquid est ceterum quod morae sit?
Is there anything else that causes delay?
§749Gladiúm Casinam intus habére ait, qui me átque te intérimat.
She says Casina has a sword inside, to kill me and you.
§750Scio.
I know.
Let her have it so; they are playing nonsense; I know those bad goods.
§754bAt pól malum métuo.
But by Pollux, I fear trouble.
§755i tú modo, perspicitó prius quid íntus agátur.
Just go, find out first what is being done inside.
§758verum í modo.
But just go.
§758bSi tú iubes, em íbitur tecum.
If you command, look, I shall go with you.
§759Nec pol ego Nemeae credo neque ego Olympiae §760neque usquam ludos tam festivos fieri §761quam hic intus fiunt ludi ludificabiles §762seni nóstro et nostro Olympioni vilico.
Nor, by Pollux, do I believe at Nemea or at Olympia, or anywhere else, that games so festive are celebrated as the mock-games celebrated here inside for our old man and our bailiff Olympio.
§763omnes festinant intus totis aedibus, §764senex ín culina clamat, hortatur coquos: §765“quin agitis hodie? quin datis, si quid datis?
All are hurrying inside throughout the whole house; the old man is shouting in the kitchen, urging the cooks: “Why don't you get busy today? Why don't you serve, if you're going to serve anything?
§766properate, cenam iam esse coctam oportuit. ” §767vilicus is autem cum corona, candide §768vestitus, lautus exornatusque ambulat.
Hurry, the dinner ought to have been cooked by now.” But that bailiff, with a wreath, dressed in white, walks around clean and adorned.
But those two women are adorning an armed guard in the bedroom, whom they may give in marriage to our bailiff instead of Casina.
§771sed nimium lepide dissimulant, quasi nil sciant §772fore huius quod futurumst; digne autem coqui §773nimis lépide ei rei dant operam, ne cenet senex, §774aulas pervortunt, ignem restingunt aqua: §775illarum oratu faciunt; illae autem senem §776cupiunt extrudere incenatum ex aedibus, §777ut ipsae solae ventres distendant suos.
But they dissemble too charmingly, as if they knew nothing of what is going to happen; and worthily the cooks apply themselves too charmingly to that business, so that the old man may not dine, they overturn the pots, extinguish the fire with water: they do it at the entreaty of those women; but those women desire to thrust the old man out of the house unfed, so that they alone may distend their own bellies.
I know those gluttonous women: they can devour a cargo-ship of food.
sed aperitur ostium.
But the door is opening.
If you are wise, wife, you will nevertheless dine, when the dinner is cooked; I shall have dined in the country.
