Troy is laid waste, the chiefs have razed Pergamus. I knew some time ago that I should be the ruin of Pergamus.
I’ faith I wouldn’t dare make a bet with him who should say that I was deserving of severe torture; so great confusion am I making. But the door makes a noise; the plunder’s being brought forth from Troy. For the present I’ll hold my tongue.
(with the money in two bays.)
NICOBULUS
Take you this gold, Chrysalus; go, carry it to my son.
But I’ll go hence to the market-place to pay this to the Captain.
CHRYSALUS
For my part, I’ll not receive it; do you seek somebody at once to take it. I won’t have it entrusted to me.
NICOBULUS
But do take it; you’re worrying me now.
(Holds it to him.)
CHRYSALUS
For my part, I’ll not take it.
NICOBULUS
But, prithee do.
CHRYSALUS
I am telling you what is the fact.
NICOBULUS
You are delaying me.
CHRYSALUS
I don’t want, I say, the gold to be entrusted to me. At all events, find some person to keep a watch upon me.
NICOBULUS
You’re plaguing me.
