m atque electabo, quidquid est.
iubeo te salvere voce summa, quo ad vires valent.

What's that prize? I'll up and worm it out of him, whatever
it is. (_aloud_) Good day to you--(_raising his voice,
Leonida having paid no attention_) as loud a one as my lungs
allow!

_Leon._

Gymnasium flagri, salveto.

Ah there, (_turning and stopping_) you whip developer!

_Lib._

Quid agis, custos carceris?

How goes it, gaol guard?

_Leon._

O catenarum colone.

Oh you fetter farmer.

_Lib._

O virgarum lascivia.

Oh you rod tickler!

_Leon._

Quot pondo ted esse censes nudum?

How much do you think you weigh, stripped?

_Lib._

Non edepol scio.

Lord! I don't know.

_Leon._

Scibam ego te nescire, at pol ego, qui ted expendi, scio: 300
nudus vinctus centum pondo es, quando pendes per pedes.

I knew you didn't know: but by the Lord, I know for I've
weighed you. Stripped and tied you weigh a hundred pounds--
when you're hanging by your heels.

_Lib._

Quo argumento istuc?

What's your proof of that?

_Leon._

Ego dicam, quo argumento et quo modo.
ad pedes quando adligatumst aequom centumpondium,
ubi manus manicae complexae sunt atque adductae ad trabem,
nec dependes nec propendes--quin malus nequamque sis.

I'll tell you my proof and my method. When a fair hundred-
weight is fastened to your feet, with the handcuffs hugging
your hands lashed to a beam, you're not a bit under or over
the weight of--a good-for-nothing rascal.

_Lib._

Vae tibi.

You be damned!

_Leon._

Hoc testamento Servitus legat tibi.

Precisely what you are down for yourself in Slavery's will.

_Lib._

Verbivelitationem fieri compendi volo.
quid istud est negoti?

Let's cut short this war of words. What's that business of
yours?

_Leon._

Certum est credere,

I've determined to trust you.

_Lib._

Audacter licet.

You can--boldly.

_Leon._

Sis amanti subvenire familiari filio,
tantum adest boni inproviso, verum commixtum malo: 310
omnes de nobis carnificum concelebrabuntur dies.
Libane, nunc audacia usust nobis inventa et dolis.
tantum facinus modo inveni ego, ut nos dicamur duo
omnium dignissumi esse, quo cruciatus confluant,

If you've got a mind to help the young maste
