§801magis pár agerest.
...it is more fitting that you do those things later.
§801bVrítur cor mi.
(Dordalus) My heart is burning!
(Sagaristio) Give him a tankard, extinguish the fire, if his heart is burning, so that his head doesn't catch fire.
§803Lúdos me fácitis, intéllego.
(Dordalus) You are making game of me, I understand.
§804Vín cinaedúm novom tíbi dari, Paégnium?
(Toxilus) Do you want a new light dancer to be given to you, Paegnium?
§805quín elude, út soles, quándo libér locust hic.
Why don't you make fun of him, as you usually do, since this is a free place?
§806huí, babae, básilice te íntulisti ét facete.
Oh, oh my, you have entered like a king and so wittily!
(Paegnium) It is fitting for me to be witty, and to mock this pimp is a pleasure, since he is worthy of it.
§809Perge út coeperás.
(Toxilus) Continue as you started.
§809bHoc, léno, tibí.
(Paegnium) This is for you, pimp!
§810Perií perculít me prope.
(Dordalus) I am ruined: he almost knocked me down.
§810bEm, serva rúsum.
(Paegnium) There, block it again.
§811Delúde, ut lubet, erus dum hínc abest.
(Dordalus) Mock me as you please, while the master is away from here.
§812Viden út tuis dictis páreo?
(Paegnium) Do you see how I obey your words?
But why don't you in turn obey my words and do this, which I advise you?
§814bQuid ést id?
(Dordalus) What is that?
§815Restím tu tibí cápe crassam ac suspende te.
(Paegnium) Take a thick rope for yourself and hang yourself.
(Dordalus) Take care not to touch me, please, lest with this staff I give you a great mischief.
§817bVteré, te condóno.
(Paegnium) Use it, I present it to you.
§818Iam iám, Paegnium, da paúsam.
(Toxilus) Now, now, Paegnium, give it a pause.
§819Égo pol vos erádicabo.
(Dordalus) By Pollux, I will eradicate you all.
(Paegnium) But that one who lives above us, who wishes you ill and will do you ill, will eradicate you.
non hi dicunt, verum ego.
Not these people say so, but I.
§821Age, circumfer mulsum, bibere da usque plenis cantharis.
(Toxilus) Come, pass around the honeyed wine, give them to drink continually from full tankards.
§822iam diu fáctum est, postquam bibimus; nimis diu sicci sumus.
It has been a long time since we drank; we are too dry for too long.
§823Di faciant ut id bibatis quod vos numquam transeat.
(Dordalus) May the gods grant that you drink what never passes through you.
(Paegnium) I cannot help, pimp, but at least show you the staticulum dance, which once Hegeas used to do.
vide vero, si tibi satis placet.
See indeed, if it pleases you enough.
(Sagaristio) I also want to perform what once Diodorus used to do in Ionia.
§827Malum ego vobis dabo, ni abitis.
(Dordalus) I will give you trouble, unless you go away.
§827bEtiam muttis, impudens?
(Sagaristio) Are you still muttering, impudent fellow?
§828iam ego tibi, si me inritassis, Persam adducam denuo.
Now, if you provoke me, I will bring the Persian back to you again.
§829Atque tu Persa es, qui me usque ádmutilavisti ad cutem.
(Dordalus) And indeed you are the Persian, who sheared me right to the skin.
§830Tace, stulte: hic eius geminust frater.
(Sagaristio) Be quiet, fool: this is his twin brother.
§830bHicinest?
(Dordalus) Is this he?
§830cAc geminissumus.
(Sagaristio) And his very twin.
§831Di deaeque et te et geminum fratrem excrucient.
(Dordalus) May the gods and goddesses torture both you and your twin brother.
(Sagaristio) The one who ruined you: for I have deserved nothing.
§832bAt enim quod ille meruit, tibi id obsit volo.
(Toxilus) But indeed, I want what he deserved to be a disadvantage to you.
§833Agite sultis, hunc lúdificemus.
Come, if you please, let us make sport of this man.
§833bNisi si dignust, non opust.
(Lemniselenis) Unless he is worthy of it, there is no need.
§834et me haud par est.
And it is not fitting for me.
§834bCredo eo, quia non ínconciliavit, cúm te emo.
(Toxilus) I believe so, because he did not oppose when I bought you.
(Lemniselenis) But yet not—yet— (Toxilus) Therefore, take care to avoid trouble, and follow me.
§836te mihí dicto audientem esse addecet, nam hercle absque me §837foret et meo praesidio, hic faceret te prostibilem propediem.
It is fitting for you to be obedient to my word, for by Hercules, were it not for me and my protection, he would make you a common prostitute before long.
§838sed ita pars libertinorum est: nisi patrono qui adversatust, §839nec satis liber sibi videtur nec satis frugi nec sat honestus, §840ní id effecit, ni ei male dixit, ni grato ingratus repertust.
But such is the way of freedmen: unless one has opposed one's patron, he does not seem to himself to be free enough, nor worthy enough, nor honest enough, unless he has done that, unless he has spoken ill of him, unless he has proved ungrateful to his benefactor.
§841Pol bene facta tua me hortantur, tuo ut imperio paream.
(Lemniselenis) By Pollux, your benefits encourage me to obey your command.
§842Ego sum tibi patronus plane, qui huic pro te argentum dedi.
(Toxilus) I am clearly your patron, who gave him the silver for you.
§843gráphice hunc volo ludíficari.
I want this man to be made sport of exquisitely.
§843bMeo ego ín loco sedulo cúrabo.
(Sagaristio) I will take diligent care of it in my place.
§844Certo ílli homines mihi néscio quid mali cónsulunt, quod faciánt.
(Dordalus) Certainly those men are planning some mischief against me, which they may do.
§844bHeus vos.
(Sagaristio) Hey, you there.
§845Quid aís?
(Toxilus) What do you say?
§845bHicin Dordalus ést leno, qui hic liberas virgines mércatur?
(Sagaristio) Is this Dordalus the pimp, who buys free maidens here?
§846hicinést, qui fuit quondám fortis?
Is this the one who was once so bold?
§846bQuae haec rés est? ei, colaphó me icit.
(Dordalus) What is this business? Oh, he hit me with a blow.
§847malum vóbis dabo.
I will give you trouble.
§847bAt tibi nós dedimus dabimúsque etiam.
(Toxilus) But we have given it to you and will give it indeed.
§847cEi, natis pérvellit.
(Dordalus) Oh, he pinched my buttocks.
§848Licet: iám diu saepe sunt éxpunctae.
(Paegnium) It's allowed: they have already often been cleared off for a long time.
§848bLoqueré tu etiam, frustúm pueri?
(Dordalus) Do you speak too, piece of a boy?
§849Patróne mi, i intro, amábo, ad cenam.
(Lemniselenis) My patron, go inside, please, to dinner.
§850Mea Ignávia, tu nunc me ínrides?
(Dordalus) My Ignavia, do you mock me now?
§851Quíane te vocó, bene ut tíbi sit?
(Lemniselenis) Is it because I invite you, so that it may be well with you?
§851bNólo mihi bene ésse.
(Dordalus) I don't want it to be well with me.
§851cNe sit.
(Lemniselenis) Let it not be.
§852Quíd igitur? sescénti nummi quíd agunt, quas turbás danunt?
(Toxilus) What then? What are the six hundred coins doing, what troubles are they causing?
§853Mále disperii, scíunt referre próbe inimico grátiam.
(Dordalus) I am utterly ruined; they know well how to return thanks to an enemy.
§854Satis súmpsimus súpplici iam.
(Toxilus) We have taken enough punishment now.
§854bFateór, manus vobís do.
(Dordalus) I confess, I yield to you.
§855Et póst dabis sub fúrcis.
(Toxilus) And afterwards you will give your hands under the yoke.
§856Abi íntro—in crucem.
Go inside—to the gallows.
(Dordalus) Do they not have me here sufficiently worked by these fellows?
§857bConvenísse te Tóxilum me
(Toxilus) That I, Toxilus, met you...
§858spéctatores, bene valete.
Spectators, fare well.
leno periit.
The pimp is ruined.
plaudite.
Applaud!
