MILPHIDIPPA
I don’t see him. Where is he?
ACROTELEUTIUM
Troth, you would see him if you were in tove.
MILPHIDIPPA
I’ faith, you don’t love him more than I do myself, with your good leave.
PALAESTRIO
No doubt all of the women, as soon as each has seen you, are in love with you.
PYRGOPOLINICES
(to PALAESTRIO.) I don’t know whether you have heard it from me or not; I’m the grandson of Venus.

ACROTELEUTIUM
My dear Milphidippa, prithee do approach and accost him.
PYRGOPOLINICES
How she does stand in awe of me!
PALAESTRIO
She is coming towards us.
MILPHIDIPPA
I wish to speak with you.
PYRGOPOLINICES
And we with you.
MILPHIDIPPA
I have brought my mistress out of the house, as you requested me.
MILPHIDIPPA
Request her, then, to approach.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Since you have entreated it, I have prevailed upon my mind not to detest her just like other women.
MILPHIDIPPA
I’ faith she wouldn’t be able to utter a word if she were to come near you; while she was looking at you, her eyes have in the meantime tied her tongue.

PYRGOPOLINICES
I see that this woman’s disorder must be cured.
MILPHIDIPPA
See how terrified she is since she beheld you.
PYRGOPOLINICES
Even armed men are the same; don’t wonder at a woman being so. But what does she wish me to do?
MILPHIDIPPA
You to come to her house; she wishes to live and to pass her life with you.
