Disaster, devastation, a tornado, has just fallen on our
house. I was afraid he'd jump at my throat like a ravening
wolf!

nimisque hercle ego illum male formidabam. ita frendebat dentibus.
adveniens deturbavit totum cum carne carnarium:
arripuit gladium, praetruncavit tribus tegoribus glandia;
aulas calicesque omnes confregit, nisi quae modiales erant.

As soon as I saw that ravenous look of his I almost died for
fear he'd make a rush at me-- Lord, how he did scare me, how
he kept grinding his teeth! In he came and tugged down the
meat, rack and all--grabbed a knife and lopped the choice
bits off three necks of pork--and smashed every pot and

judge from the way this fellow is getting 'em out here,
there's nothing left now, or won't be long. [EXIT.

_Hegio_

Iovi disque ago gratias merito magnas,
quom reducem tuo te patri reddiderunt
quomque ex miseriis plurimis me exemerunt,
quae adhuc te carens dum hic[25] fui sustentabam,
quomque hunc conspicor in potestate nostra,
quomque huius reperta est fides firma nobis.

(_to Philopolemus_) I thank God with all my heart, as
I ought, for bringing you back to your father, and for
relieving me of the dreadful anguish I've been enduring as
day after day went by, and I still here without you; yes,
and for letting me see this rascal (_indicating Stalagmus_)
in my power, and for this gentleman's (_indicati
