AGORASTOCLES
Look, if you like; see, there it is.
1075
My kinsman, welcome to you!
HANNO
And welcome to you, Agorastocles! I seem to myself to be born again, in having found you.
MILPHIO
By my troth, I’m delighted that this matter has fallen out so happily for you. (To HANNO.) And would you decline to take advice?
HANNO
Really, I should wish to be advised.
MILPHIO
His father’s property ought to be restored to the son; it’s fair that he should have the property which his father possessed.
1080
HANNO
I wish no otherwise; everything shall be restored. I’ll give his own property to him all safe, when he comes there.
MILPHIO
Take care and restore it, will you, even though he should live here still.
HANNO
Nay but, he shall have my own as well, if anything should happen to me Anything should happen to me: An Euphemism to avert all omen..

MILPHIO
A pleasant project has just now come into my mind,
MILPHIO
There’s need of your assistance.
HANNO
Tell me what you wish. Really, you shall have my services just as you please. What is the business?
MILPHIO
Can you act the cheat?
HANNO
Towards an enemy, I can; to a friend, it would be mere folly.
1090
MILPHIO
I’ faith, it is an enemy of his.
HANNO
I could do him a mischief with pleasure.
MILPHIO
He’s in love with a person who belongs to a Procurer.
HANNO
I deem that he acts discreetly.
