SCENE: —The Orchestra represents a public square in Athens. In the background is the house of Chremylus. A ragged old blind man enters, followed by Chremylus and his slave Cario.
What an unhappy fate, great gods, to be the slave of a fool! A servant may give the best of advice, but if his master does not follow it, the poor slave must inevitably have his share in the disaster; for fortune does not allow him to dispose of his own body, it belongs to his master who has bought it.

It is not because of you that Agyrrhius farts so loudly?
Chremylus
And that Philepsius rolls off his fables? That troops are sent to succour the Egyptians? And that Lais is kept by Philonides?
Cario
That the tower of Timotheus—
Chremylus
To Cario May it fall upon your head! To PlutusIn short, Plutus, it is through you that everything is done; you must realize that you are the sole cause both of good and evil.
Cario
In war, it's the flag under which you serve that victory favours.
Plutus
What! I can do so many things by myself and unaided?
Chremylus
And many others besides; wherefore men are never tired of your gifts. They get weary of

Cario
I will copy that Circe of Corinth, whose potent philtres compelled the companions of Philonides like swine to swallow balls of dung, which she herself had kneaded with her hands; and do you too grunt with joy and follow your mother, my little pigs.

Chremylus

Chremylus
Get you gone, be off quick and a pleasant journey to you.
Poverty
But where shall I go?
Chremylus
To gaol; but hurry up, let us put an end to this.
Poverty
as she departs
One day you will recall me.
Chremylus
Then you can return; but disappear for the present. I prefer to be rich; you are free to knock your head against the walls in your rage.
Blepsidemus
And I too welcome wealth. I want, when I leave the bath all perfumed with essences, to feast bravely with my wife and children and to fart in the faces of toilers and Poverty.
Chremylus
So that hussy has gone at last! But let us make haste to put Plutus to bed in the Temple of Asclepius.
Blepsidemus
Let us make haste; else some bothering fellow may again come to
