I’m ruined.
PISTOCLERUS
Won’t you hold your tongue, simpleton?
MNESILOCHUS
Hold my tongue?
PISTOCLERUS
You are not now quite right in your senses.
MNESILOCHUS
I’m undone. Many sharp and poignant woes are now arising in my breast. Did I not put faith in that accusation? Without any cause was I angry with you.
PISTOCLERUS
Come, come, do have a good heart.
MNESILOCHUS
Whence have it? A dead man is of more value than I am.
PISTOCLERUS
The Captain’s Parasite came here, just now, to fetch the gold hence. I drove the fellow away from this door and from this fair one, and packed him off through my harsh language.
MNESILOCHUS
But of what service is that to me? Wretch that I am, what shall I do? I have nothing; and he certainly will carry her off.
PISTOCLERUS
By my faith, if I had the means, I’d engage not.
MNESILOCHUS
I know you’d give it me; I know your ways; and were you not in love, I should now have the very greatest possible confidence in your assistance. At present, you yourself have more than enough of your own business, for me to suppose that you, who are in want yourself; are able to give me any assistance.
PISTOCLERUS
Do but hold your tongue: some Divinity will favour us.
