Give me some well-baked bread and a big hunk of the victims they
are
sacrificing
in your house.
Aristophanes
Oh!
the grilled entrails I used to swallow down!
CARIO.
Your own have got the colic, methinks.
HERMES.
Oh!
the delicious tipple, half wine, half water!
CARIO.
Here, swallow that and be off.
(_He discharges a fart.
_)
HERMES.
Would you do a friend a service?
CARIO.
Willingly, if I can.
HERMES.

CARIO.
That would be stealing.
HERMES.
Do you forget, then, how I used to take care he knew nothing
about it when you were stealing something from your master?
CARIO.
Because I used to share it with you, you rogue; some cake or other
always came your way.
HERMES.
Which afterwards you ate up all by yourself.

CARIO.
But then you did not share the blows when I was caught.
HERMES.
Forget past injuries, now you have taken Phyle.
[805] Ah!
how I
should like to live with you!
Take pity and receive me.
