f her own accord, I'll turn her out by force. PALAESTRIO Do you take care how you do that; but rather let her go from your house with a good graceWith a good grace: "Per gratiam bonam." "Bonâ gratiâ" was a legal term used in the case of amicable divorces with the consent of both parties., and give her those things that I mentioned. The gold trinkets and apparel, with which you furnished her, let her take away. PYRGOPOLINICES By my troth, I wish she would. PALAESTRIO I think you'll easily prevail upon her. But go indoors; don't linger here. PYRGOPOLINICES I obey you. Goes into his house. PALAESTRIO to the AUDIENCE. Now, does he really appear to be anything different from what, awhile ago, I told you he was, this wenching Captain? Now it is requisite that Acroteleutium should come to me, her maid too, and Pleusicles. O Jupiter! and does not opportunity favour me in every respect? For those whom I especially wished to see, I perceive at this moment coming out here from our neighbour's

He requires a talent of gold, in Philippean pieces. Less he will take from no one. MILPHIDIPPA O, by my troth, but that's too little, surely. PYRGOPOLINICES By nature there's no avarice in me; I have riches enough. I' faith! I've more than a thousand measuresA thousand measures: The "modius" was a Roman measure one-third of the "amphora." It contained nearly two English gallons. full of Philippean gold coins. PALAESTRIO Besides your treasures. Then, of silver, he has mountains, not ingots; Aetna is not so high. MILPHIDIPPA aside. By the stars! O, what a lie! PALAESTRIO to MILPHIDIPPA, aside. How rarely I am playing him off! MILPHIDIPPA to PALAESTRIO, aside. And I; how do I do it? Ain't I gulling him? PALAESTRIO aside. Rarely. MILPHIDIPPA But, prithee, do let me go now. PALAESTRIO to the CAPTAIN. But do you give her some answer, either that you will do it, or that you won't do it. Why cause this poor lady so much anguish of mind, who has never deserved any ill of you? PYRGOPOLINICESB

AESTRIO Of those that are parents by him true warriors are born, and his sons live eight hundred years. MILPHIDIPPA aside to PALAESTRIO. Fie on you for a fibber! PYRGOPOLINICES Why, straight on, from age to age, they live for a thousand years. PALAESTRIO I spoke within limits, for the reason that she mightn't suppose I was telling lies to her. MILPHIDIPPA aside. I burst, I die! Aloud. How many years will he live himself whose sons live so long? PYRGOPOLINICES Wench, I was born the day after Jupiter was born of Ops. PALAESTRIO If he had only been born the day before the other was, he would have had the realms of heaven. MILPHIDIPPA aside to PALAESTRIO. Now, now, prithee, no more do let me get away from you, if I can, alive. PALAESTRIO Why don't you go then, as you have your answer? MILPHIDIPPA I'll go, and I'll bring her here, on whose behalf I am employed. Is there aught else you wish? PYRGOPOLINICES May I never be more handsome than I am at pre sent; so much trouble do my good looks

sires it. PALAESTRIO Doesn't she long for it? PYRGOPOLINICES What shall we do with that mistress of mine, who is at my house? PALAESTRIO Why, do you bid her to be gone about her business, wherever she chooses; as her twin-sister has come here to Ephesus, and her mother, and they are come to fetch her. PYRGOPOLINICES Ha! what's that you say? Has her mother come to Ephesus? PALAESTRIO Those say so who know it. PYRGOPOLINICES I' faith, a charming opportunity for me to turn the wench out of doors. Ephesus? PALAESTRIO Those say so who know it. PYRGOPOLINICES I' faith, a charming opportunity for me to turn the wench out of doors. PALAESTRIO Aye, but do you wish to do the thing handsomely? PYRGOPOLINICES Speak out, and give me your advice. PALAESTRIO Do you wish to pack her off forthwith, that she may quit you with a good grace? PYRGOPOLINICES I do so wish. PALAESTRIO Then this is the thing you must do. You have a superabundance of wealth; bid the woman to keep as a present for herself the gold and trinkets which you have supplied her with, and to take herself off from your house wherever she likes.

I am resolved now to employ myself in watching. Places himself against the CAPTAIN'S door. Enter PERIPLECOMENUS from his house. PERIPLECOMENUS Faith, but these men here, these servants of my neighbour the Captain, take me not to be a man, but a woman, so much do they trifle with me. My lady guest, who came here yesterday from Athens with the gentleman, my guest, is she to be mauled about and made fun of here in the street--a lady, free-born and free? SCELEDRUS aside. By my troth, I'm undone. He's coming in a straight line up towards me. I fear that this matter may cause me great trouble, so far as I have heard this old gentleman speak. PERIPLECOMENUS I'll up to this fellow. Was it you, Sceledrus, source of mischief, that were just now making fun of my lady guest before the house? SCELEDRUS Good neighbour, listen, I beg.

PERIPLECOMENUS probably looking up to a window in the CAPTAIN'S house. Ho! PhilocomasiumPhilocomasium: Directly Sceledrus turns his back, the old man calls out for Philocomasium, who is supposed at that moment to be in the Captain's house. How he does so is somewhat of a mystery to the Commentators. Thornton, in his translation, suggests that he calls through the window, where it is natural to imagine that Philocomasium might be stationed within hearing to observe all that passed. He could hardly, however, call "through" the window of the ground floor, as these were generally more than six feet from the ground; and, indeed, there were rarely any windows at all on the basement. It is most likely that Philocomasium is hidden behind the "clatri" or "lattice" of the window in her room on the first-

Palaestrio tells him, that when he comes to be fastened on the cross for his negligence, he will have to assume that attitude. The gate here alluded to is supposed to have been the Esquiline, or Metian gate at Rome, a place near which was devoted to the punishment of slaves.
