Iam pax est inter vos duos? nam quia vos tranquillos video, gaudeo et volup est mihi. atque ita servom par videtur frugi sese instituere proinde eri ut sint, ipse item sit; voltum e voltu comparet 960 tristis sit, si eri sint tristes; hilarus sit, si gaudeant sed age responde: iam vos rediistis in concordiam?
Is there peace between you two now, sir? I tell you what, it’s a pleasure, it’s a joy, to see you looking peaceful. Yes, and to my way of thinking, an honest servant ought to stick to this principle: be like what his betters are, model his expression on theirs, be in the dumps if they are in the dumps, and jolly if they are happy. But come, sir, answer me. Have you made friends again now, eh?

Derides, qui scis haec dudum me dixisse per iocum.
(reprovingly)
Mocker! What I said a while ago was all in
fun, and you know
it.

An id ioco dixisti? equidem serio ac vero ratus.
In fun, was it?
Upon my soul, I thought it was the solemn
truth.

Habui expurigationem; facta pax est.
I have explained: peace is made.

Blepharonem, qui re divina facta mecum
prandeat.
As for you, convey
my invitation to Pilot Blepharo to come
over from the

done.
Sos.
Iam hic ero, cum illic censebis esse me.
I’ll be here by the time you think I’m there, sir.

Yes, hurry back home. [EXIT Sosia.

Numquid vis, quin abeam iam intro, ut apparentur quibus opust? 970
Is there anything
else, or shall I go in now and see to the
things you’ll
need?
Iup.

I sane, et quantum potest parata fac sint omnia.
Do, by all means,
and get everything ready as quickly as you
can.
