When that shall have been done, then ask the money down of me. But am I
not a wretched fellow, not at full speed to be running home?
PHILO. Here come the provisions; see, here's Tranio; he's come back from
the harbour.
TRA. (_running_). Philolaches!
PHILO. What's the matter? TRA. Both I and you--
PHILO. What about "Both I and you?"
TRA. Are undone!
PHILO. Why so? TRA. Your father's here.
PHILO. What is it I hear of you?
TRA. We are finished up. Your father's come, I say.
PHILO. (_starting up._) Where is he, I do entreat you?
TRA. He's coming.
PHILO. Coming? Who says so? Who has seen him?
TRA. I saw him myself, I tell you.
PHILO. Woe unto me! what am I about?
TRA. Why the plague now do you ask me, what you are about? Taking your
place at table, _of course_.
PHILO. Did you see him? TRA. I my own self, I tell you.
PHILO. For certain? TRA. For certain, I tell you.
PHILO. I'm undone, if you are telling the truth.
TRA. What good could it be to me if I told a lie?
PHILO. What shall I do now?
TRA. (_pointing to the table and couches_). Order all these things
to be removed from here. (_Pointing._) Who's that asleep there?
PHILO. Callidamates. TRA. Arouse him, Delphium.
DEL. (_bawling out in his ear_). Callidamates! Callidamates! awake!
CALL. (_raising himself a little_). I am awake; give me something
to drink.
DEL.
