to be made of Philippean gold, which is to be seven feet high—a memorial of his exploits.
LYCO
For what reason this?
CURCULIO
I’ll tell you; why, because within twenty days he singly has subdued the Persians, Paphlagonians, Sinopians, Arabians, Cretans, Syrians, Rhodia and Lycia, Peredia and Bibesia[*],
Centauromachia and Classia Unomammia[*], and all Libya, and all Conterebromia; one half even of all nations has he conquered unaided in twenty days.
LYCO
Dear me!
CURCULIO
Why are you surprised?
LYCO
Why, because if all these people were penned up in a cage
as close as chickens, even so they couldn’t be encompassed in a year. Upon my faith, I do believe that you are[*] come from him; for you do jabber such nonsense.
CURCULIO
Aye, and I can tell you still more, if you like.
LYCO
No; I don’t want it. Follow me this way. I’ll pay you that, on account of which you came;
and lo, I see ⋯ (from his house.) Save you, Procurer.
CAPPADOX
May the Gods prosper you.
LYCO
Do you know what this is about which I’m come to you?
CAPPADOX
Say on what you please.
LYCO
You are to receive the money, and to send away the young woman with him. (Pointing to CURCULIO.)
CAPPADOX
But what if I’m bound on oath to another?
LYCO
What matters that to you, so long as you get the money?
CAPPADOX
He who advises is as good as an accomplice. Do you follow.
