What you’ve stolen of mine.LYCONIDESI, stolen of yours? Whence, or what is it?EUCLIOSo shall Jupiter love you, how ignorant you are about it!LYCONIDESUnless, indeed, you tell me what you are enquiring for.EUCLIOThe pot of gold, I say, I’m asking back of you, which you confessed to me that you had taken away.LYCONIDESBy my faith, I’ve neither said so, nor have I done it.EUCLIODo you deny it? LYCONIDESYes, I do utterly deny it; for neither the gold nor yet this pot, what it means, do I know or understand.EUCLIOGive me up that pot which you took away from the wood of Sylvanus. Come, give it me back! I would rather give you the one-half of it. Although you are a thief to me, I’ll not be hard upon the thief. Give it me back.LYCONIDESYou are not in your senses, to call me a thief; I thought, Euclio, that you had come to the knowledge of another matter; as concerns myself, it is a great matter which I wish to speak with you upon at your leisure, if you are at leisure.EUCLIOTell me, in good faith, have you not stolen that gold?LYCONIDESIn good faith, No. EUCLIONor know who has taken it away?LYCONIDESIn good faith, No, to that as well.EUCLIOBut if you should know who has taken it away, will you discover it to me?LYCONIDESI will do so. EUCLIONor accept of a share from him, whoever he is, for yourself, nor harbour the thief?LYCONIDESEven so. EUCLIOWhat if you deceive me?LYCONIDESThen may great Jupiter do unto me what he pleases.EUCLIOI’m satisfied. Come, then, say what you wish.LYCONIDESIf you know me but imperfectly, of what family I’m born: Megadorus here is my uncle; Antimachus was my father; my name is Lyconides; Eunomia is my mother. EUCLIOI know the family; now, what do you want?LYCONIDESI want to know this. You have a daughter of yours?EUCLIOWhy, yes, she’s there at home.LYCONIDESYou have, I think, recently betrothed her to my uncle?EUCLIOYou have the whole matter.
