Dulcitius + 

Soldiers, produce your prisoners. + 

Soldiers + 

The ones you wanted to see are in there. + 

Dulcitius + 

Ye Gods, but these girls are beautiful! What grace, what charm! + 

Soldiers + 

Perfect! + 

Dulcitius + 

I am enraptured! + 

Soldiers + 

No wonder! + 

Dulcitius + 

I’m in love! Do you think they will fall in love with me? + 

Soldiers + 

From what we know, you will have little success. + 

Dulcitius + 

Why? + 

Soldiers + 

Their faith is too strong. + 

Dulcitius + 

A few sweet words will work wonders! + 

Soldiers + 

They despise flattery. + 

Dulcitius + 

Then I shall woo in another fashion⁠—with torture! + 

Soldiers + 

They would not care. + 

Dulcitius + 

What’s to be done, then? + 

Soldiers + 

That is for you to find out. + 

Dulcitius + 

Lock them in the inner room⁠—the one leading out of the passage where the pots and pans are kept. + 

Soldiers + 

Why there? + 

Dulcitius + 

I can visit them oftener. + 

Soldiers + 

It shall be done. + 
