[Textpart 2]
Do you then tell me this—whither are you going?
215
PAEGNIUM
Whither are you?
SOPHOCLIDISCA
I was the first to ask.
PAEGNIUM
Then you shall be the last to know.
SOPHOCLIDISCA
I’m going not far hence.
PAEGNIUM
And I, indeed, not far.
SOPHOCLIDISCA
Whither then, you rascal?
PAEGNIUM
Unless I know first of you, you shall never know this of me that you are enquiring.
SOPHOCLIDISCA
On my honor you shall never this day know before I’ve heard it of you.
PAEGNIUM
Is such the fact?
220
SOPHOCLIDISCA
Is such the fact?

PAEGNIUM
You are a worthless one.
220
PAEGNIUM
That befits me.
220
SOPHOCLIDISCA
Me then it does not befit.

PAEGNIUM
What do you say? Are you quite determined, you hussy, to conceal whither you are going?
SOPHOCLIDISCA
And are you quite resolved to hide whither you are betaking yourself, you scoundrel?
PAEGNIUM
You are giving answer to what I say like for like; be off with you then, since such is your determination. I don’t care at all to know. Good-bye.
