EPIDICUS
Immortal Gods! now I’m fairly done for!
THESPRIO
Why so, or.what’s the matter, Epidicus?
EPIDICUS
He has proved my ruin!
EPIDICUS
Who? He who lost his arms.
EPIDICUS

It’s best for a man in servitude to know more than he says; that’s true wisdom.

THESPRIO
On my faith, I don’t understand why you are alarmed. You are frightened, Epidicus; I see it by your countenance. You seem here, in my absence, to have got into some scrape or other.
EPIDICUS
Can’t you cease annoying me?
