I know that they are plentiful, just like your money.
MEGADORUS
I’ faith, for sure I really did always take you to be a citizen without any evil guile, and now I think you so.
EUCLIO
(aside.)
He smells the gold. (Aloud.) What do you want with me now?
MEGADORUS
Since you know me, and I know you, what sort of person you are—a thing, that may it bring a blessing on myself, and you and your daughter, I ask your daughter as my wife. Promise me that it shall be so.
EUCLIO
Heyday! Megadorus, you are doing a deed that’s not becoming to your usual actions, in laughing at me, a poor man, and guiltless towards yourself and towards your family. For neither in act, nor in words, have I ever deserved it of you, that you should do what you are now doing.
MEGADORUS
By my troth, I neither am come to laugh at you, nor am I laughing at you, nor do I think you deserving of it.
EUCLIO
Why then do you ask for my daughter for your self?
MEGADORUS
That through me it may be better for you, and through you and yours for me.
EUCLIO
This suggests itself to my mind, Megadorus, that you are a wealthy man, a man of rank; that I likewise am a person, the poorest of the poor; now, if I should give my daughter in marriage to you, it suggests itself to my mind that you are the ox, and that I am the ass; when I’m yoked to you,
