Davus. So they say.
Simo. And then, if such a person entertains
An evil counselor in those affairs,
He tampers with the mind, and makes bad worse.
Davus. Troth, I don’t comprehend one word of this.
Simo. No?
Davus. No. I’m Davus, and not Oedipus.
Simo. Then for the rest I have to say to you,
You choose I should speak plainly.
Davus. By all means.
