Perde 4
[Textpart 4]
Are you going to tell me what I ask?
DAVUS
Step aside to the right.
MYSIS
You are out of your senses; didn’t you your own self?
DAY.
Take you care not to utter a single word beyond what I ask you.
Why don’t you say aloud whence it comes?
it really is a wonder if a woman, who is a courtesan, acts impudently.

CHREMES
So far as I can learn, this woman belongs to the Andrian.
DAVUS
Do we seem to you such very suitable persons for you to be playing tricks with us in this way?
CHREMES
I came just in time.
DAVUS
Make haste then, and take the child away from the door here:
(in a low voice.) stay there; take care you don’t stir from that spot.
760
MYSIS
May the Gods confound you! you do so terrify poor me.
DAVUS
Is it to you I speak or not?
MYSIS
What is it you want?
DAVUS
What—do you ask me again? Tell me, whose child have you been laying here? Let me know.
DAVUS
Have done with what I know; tell me what I ask.
