After a short time, Pseudolus emerges from Simo's house.
(SONG)
Pseudolus
Holy Jupiter! How everything I do turns out with such finesse'and success!
No need for fear, no cause for dread, when there's a plan in my head!
How stupid it is to entrust a daring deed to a faint-hearted man!
It's what you do, it's the goal you choose to
575
pursue,
That makes things as they are.
How in my head I've marshaled my troops!
Two lines of tricks, three lines of lies, so wherever I meet the enemy
Victory is mine, and my prey is ensnared in my web:
My confidence rests on the valor of my ancestors,40
As well as on my own diligence and diabolical deceit."
As for this common foe of yours and mine:
Just watch, while I deftly de-ball Ballio!
I'll storm and sack this town today!
Here is where l'll lead my legions. Once he's defeated (an easy feat for my
fellow citizens),
580
585
It's straight on with my army to this ancient citadel! (points to Simo's
house) From there
I'll cram my troops with booty, load them down with loot, leaving only fear
