Miles Gloriosus · 1852
Act II, Scene XVI
Translated by Henry Thomas Riley (1852)
PERIPLECOMENUS.
PERIP. (probably looking up to a window in the Captain's house). Ho! Philocomasium! pass instantly, with all speed, into my house; 'tis absolutely necessary. Afterwards, when Sceledrus shall have come out from my house, pass quickly, with all haste, back again to your own house. By my troth, now, I'm afraid she'll be making some blunder. Should he not see the woman * * * * My door opens.
