PEN. Very much, if I gave countless weight of gold for it.
BAC. But why? have you fallen into a great wish for this?
PEN. I should like to see them drunk grievously [for them].
BAC. Would you then gladly see what is grievous to you?
PEN. To be sure, sitting quietly under the pines.
BAC. But they will track you out, even though you come secretly.
PEN. But [I will come] openly, for you have said this well.
BAC. Shall I then guide you? and will you attempt the way?
PEN. Lead me as quickly as possible; for I do not grudge you the time.
BAC. Put on then linen garments on your body.
