What was it sounded just now as though it were iron?
MEGADORUS
Here at my place, I ordered them to dig up the garden. (EUCLIO runs off into his house.) But where is this man? He’s off, and he hasn’t fully answered me; he treats me with contempt.
Because he sees that I wish for his friendship, he acts after the manner of mankind. For if a wealthy person goes to ask a favour of a poorer one, the poor man is afraid to treat with him; through his apprehension he hurts his own interest. The same person, when this opportunity is lost, too late, then wishes for it.
EUCLIO
(coming out of the house, addressing STAPHYLA within.)
By the powers, if I don’t give you up to have your tongue cut out by the roots, I order and I authorize you to hand me over to any one you please to be incapacitated.
MEGADORUS
By my troth, Euclio, I perceive that you consider me a fit man for you to make sport of in my old age, for no deserts of my own.
EUCLIO
I’ faith, Megadorus, I am not doing so, nor, should I desire it, had I the means[*].
MEGADORUS
How now? Do you then betroth your daughter to me?
EUCLIO
On those terms, and with that portion which I mentioned to you.
MEGADORUS
Do you promise her then?
