Nay, not to punish you, or to blame you at all on account of this business. And with some difficulty Ive prevailed. Now, Chrysalus, this must be your care.
CHRYSALUS
What do you wish should be my care?
MNESILOCHUS
That once again you should make a second inroad upon the old gentleman. Contrive, devise, invent whatever you please; frame your plans[*], so that this day you may cleverly deceive the old man unawares, and carry off the gold.
CHRYSALUS
It scarcely seems possible to be done.
MNESILOCHUS
Set about it, and youll easily effect it.
CHRYSALUS
How the plague easily, for me, whom he has this moment caught out in a lie? Should I entreat him not to believe me at all, he would not venture even to believe me in that.
MNESILOCHUS
Aye, and if you were to hear what things he said about you in my presence.
CHRYSALUS
What did he say?
MNESILOCHUS
That if you were to say that this sun was the sun,
he would believe it was the moon, and that that is the night which is now the day.
CHRYSALUS
By my troth, Ill bamboozle the old chap right well this very day, so that he shant have said that for nothing.
PISTOCLERUS
Now, what would you have us do?
