Here’s a go! Residing in the immediate neighbourhood! Well, well! does she remember Mnesilochus? _Pistoc._ Rogas? immo unice unum plurimi pendit. Remember him? More than that, she thinks he’s the one and only man on earth. _Chrys._ Papae. Oh pshaw! _Pistoc._ Immo ut eam credis? misera amans desiderat. More than that, what do you suppose her feelings are? The poor affectionate thing is dying for him. _Chrys._ Scitum istuc. Quite charming! _Pistoc._ Immo, Chrysale, em, non tantulum umquam intermittit tempus quin eum nominet. 210 More than that, Chrysalus--look!--she doesn’t let even so much (_illustrating_) time pass without mentioning his name. _Chrys._ Tanto hercle melior. Humph! So much the better of her. _Pistoc._ Immo-- More than that-- _Chrys._ Immo hercle abiero potius. (_bored_) More than that, by gad, I’d rather get out of range! _Pistoc._ Num invitus rem bene gestam audis eri? You don’t object to hearing that your master is in a prosperous situation, do you? _Chrys._ Non res, sed actor mihi cor odio sauciat. etiam Epidicum, quam ego fabulam aeque ac me ipsum amo, nullam aeque invitus specto, si agit Pellio. sed Bacchis etiam fortis tibi visast? It’s not the situations that make me sick unto death; it’s your confounding acting. Even the _Epidicus_[E]--a comedy I love as well as my own self--well, there’s not a one I so object to seeing, if Pellio’s playing in it. But you really consider Bacchis a fine lively one, do you? [Footnote E: One of Plautus’s plays.] _Pistoc._ Rogas? ni nanctus Venerem essem, hanc Iunonem dicerem. Do you ask me that? If[F] I hadn’t lighted on Venus myself, I’d call her Juno. [Footnote F: Venus and Juno not being sisters.] _Chrys._ Edepol, Mnesiloche, ut hanc rem natam intellego, quod ames paratumst: quod des inventost opus. nam istic fortasse auro est opus. (_half aside_) Well, by gad, Mnesilochus, as far as I can understand the present situation, you’ve got your love: the wherewithal is what you need to find. (_to Pistoclerus_) For I dare say there is need of gold in the affair. _Pistoc._ Philippeo quidem. 220 Yes, and good coin of the realm. _Chrys._ Atque eo fortasse iam opust. And furthermore, I dare say it’s needed soon. _Pistoc._ Immo etiam prius: nam iam huc adveniet miles. No, before that, even: for a Captain’s due here soon. _Chrys._ Et miles quidem? Indeed? A Captain, too? _Pistoc._ Qui de amittenda Bacchide aurum hic exiget. Who’ll be after money for letting Bacchis go. _Chrys._
