SCENE III.

Enter DROMO.
Dromo.
Your pleasure, Sir?

Simo.
Here drag him headlong in,
And truss the rascal up immediately.

Dromo.
Whom?

Simo.
Davus.

Davus.
Why?

Simo.
Because I'll have it so.
Take him, I say.

Davus.
For what offence?

Simo.
Off with him!

Davus.
If it appear that I've said ought but truth,
Put me to death.

Simo.
I will not hear. I'll trounce you.

Davus.
But tho' it should prove true, Sir!

Simo.
True or false.
See that you keep him bound: and do you hear?
Bind the slave hand and foot. Away!

[Exeunt Dromo and Davus.
 

Quadrupedem constringito. It was usual among the Athenians to tie criminals, hands and feet together, like a calf, Echard.
