Miles Gloriosus · 1852
Act II, Scene XII
Translated by Henry Thomas Riley (1852)
PALAESTRIO alone.
PAL. Beyond a doubt, neither any horse nor foot has so great a degree of boldness in carrying out anything with as much confidence as some women. How cleverly and how skilfully she performed her part in both her characters! — how her wary keeper, my fellow-servant, is being gulled! 'Tis most fortunate that the passage communicates through the party-wall.
