Well, I will tell you then, my name you know already: my wife his mother's name was Sophronia, the house that I came of, they call Spiagia. I never heard him speak of Spiagia but in deed I have heard him say, his mother's name was Sophronia: but what of that? a great matter I promise' you. It is like enough that you two have compact together to deceive my master. What needeth me more evident tokens? this is my son out of doubt whom I lost eighteen years since, and a thousand thousand times have I lamented for him: he should have also a mould on his left shoulder. He hath a mould there in deed: and an hole in an other place to, I would your nose were in it. Fair words fellow Litio: o I pray you let us go talk with him, O fortune, how much am I bound to thee if I find my son? Yea how little am I beholden to fortune, that know not where my son is become, and you whom I chose to be mine advocate, will now (by the means of this Dulipo) become mine adversary? Sir, let us first go found mine: and I warrant you yours will be found also ere it be long. God grant: go we then, Since the door is open, I will never knock nor call, but we will be bold to go in. Sir, take you heed, lest he lead you to some mischief. Alas Litio, if my son be lost what care I what become of me? Well, I have told you my mind Sir, do you as you please. COme hither you old callet, you tattling housewife, that the devil cut out your tongue: tell me, how could Pasiphilo know of this gear but by you? Sir, he never knew it of me, he was the first that told me of it. Thou liest old drab, but I would advise you tell me the truth, or I will make those old bones rattle in your skin. Sir, if you find me contrary, kill me. Why? where should he talk with thee? He talked with me of it here in the street. What did you here? I was going to the weavers for a web of cloth you have there. And what cause could Pasiphilo have to talk of it, unless thou began the matter first? Nay, he began with me sir, reviling me, because I had told you of it: I asked him how he knew of it, and he said he was in the stable when you examined me ere while.
