Examples

“DĀVUS: Nunc adeō ut tū sīs sciēns: / nisi puerum tollis iam ego hunc in mediam viam / prōvolvam, tēque ibīdem pervolvam in lutō!”

DAVUS: Alright then, truly, so that you may be fully aware: unless you pick up that baby boy right now, I will roll him into the middle of the street, and likewise I will roll you into the mud in the very same spot! (Silly threats from a character who doesn’t intend to harm anyone. Terence delights his audience with clever wordplay between provolvam and pervolvam.)
