Audivi, Archylis, iamdudum: Lesbiam adduci iubes.
sane pol illa temulentast mulier et temeraria
nec sati' digna quoi committas primo partu mulierem. 230
tamen eam adducam? inportunitatem spectate aniculae
quia compotrix eius est. di, date facultatem obsecro
huic pariundi atque illi in aliis potiu' peccandi locum.
sed quidnam Pamphilum exanimatum video? vereor quid siet.
opperiar, ut sciam num quid nam haec turba tristitiae adferat. 235

I heard this, Archylis, some while ago now: you order that Lesbia be brought here. By Pollux, that woman's clearly drunken and reckless and not worthy enough to be entrusted with a woman giving birth for the first time. You still want me to bring her? Look at the old woman's relentlessness, because she's her drinking companion. Gods, I beseech you, give to this woman the possibility to give birth, and to that one the opportunity to do wrong to some others instead. But why on earth do I see Pamphilus faint with fear? I'm afraid of what the matter is. I'll wait and see if this mess brings anything sad.
