Why, nothing, except that I beg you’ll still love on. As for the rest, ask of me as much gold as you please; I’ll find it you. Of what use is it for me to have the name of Chrysalus[*], unless I give proofs by fact?
But now, tell me, Mnesilochus, how much gold is requisite for you.
MNESILOCHUS
There’s occasion for two hundred pieces at once, to pay the Captain for Bacchis.
CHRYSALUS
I’ll find it you.
MNESILOCHUS
Then we have need of some for current expenses.
CHRYSALUS
Aye, aye, I wish us to do each thing deliberately; when I’ve accomplished the one, then I’ll set about the other. First, for the two hundred pieces, I shall direct my engine of war against the old gentleman.
If with that engine I batter down the tower and the outworks, straight at the gate that instant I’ll attack the old town and the new one; if I take it, then carry to your friends the gold in baskets, just as your heart wishes.
PISTOCLERUS
Our hearts are with you, Chrysalus.
CHRYSALUS
Now, do you go in-doors to Bacchis, Pistoclerus, and quickly bring out—
PISTOCLERUS
What?
CHRYSALUS
A pen, some wax[*], tablets, and some cord.
PISTOCLERUS
I’ll have them here this instant.
