now this fellow knows that I’ve got some gold; for that reason he salutes me more courteously.

MEGADORUS

Do you say that you are well?

EUCLIO

Troth, I’m not very well in the money line.

MEGADORUS

I’ faith, if you’ve a contented mind, you have enough to passing a good life with.

EUCLIO
(aside.)

By my faith, the old woman has made a discovery to him about the gold; ’tis clear it’s all out. I’ll cut off her tongue, and tear out her eyes, when I get home.

MEGADORUS

Why are you talking to yourself?

EUCLIO

I’m lamenting my poverty; I’ve a grown-up girl without a portion, and one that can’t be disposed of in marriage; nor have I the ability to marry her to anybody.

MEGADORUS

Hold your peace; be of good courage, Euclio: she shall be given in marriaye; you shall be assisted by myself. Say, if you have need of aught; command me.

EUCLIO
(aside.)

Now is he aiming at my property, while he’s making promises; he’s gaping for my gold, that he may devour it;
