How he does dissemble with me; how ignorant I am of the business he’s about. He has gone to fetch slaves from in-doors to bind me. The ship speeds prosperously on; finely, too, is this craft boarding it[*]. But I’ll hold my tongue, for I hear the door opening.
799
(Re-enter NICOBULUS, with SLAVES carrying fetters.)
NICOBULUS
Artamo, do you fasten the hands of that fellow this very instant.
(The SLAVES bind him.)
CHRYSALUS
What have I done?
NICOBULUS
Pitch your fist into him if he mutters a word. (To CHRYSALUS, pointing at the tablets.) What does this letter say?
CHRYSALUS
Why do you ask me? As I received it from him, so I’ve brought it sealed to you.
NICOBULUS
Come now, you rascal, have you not shamefully abused my son in your talk, because he gave me up that gold,
and said that you would still take that gold away from me by some knavish trick?
CHRYSALUS
Have I said so?
NICOBULUS
You have.
CHRYSALUS
What person is there, who says that I’ve said so?
NICOBULUS
Hold your tongue. No person says so; this letter which you have brought me accuses you. See, ’tis this that requests you to be chained.
(Points to the open tablets.)
CHRYSALUS
Ah! your son has been making a Bellerophon[*] of me; I myself brought this letter, for the purpose that I might be bound. Be it so.
