Hark you! you whip-knave, come back to me.
TRANIO
(to THEUROPIDES.)
I’ll be there just now. (To the BANKER.) Don’t you be troublesome: no one’s going to pay you; do what you please. You are the only person, I suppose, that lends money upon interest.
(Moves towards THEUROPIDES.)
A BANKER
(bawling aloud.)
Give me my interest! pay me my interest! you pay my interest! Are you going to give me my interest this instant?
Give me my interest!
TRANIO
Interest here, interest there! The old rogue knows how to talk about nothing but interest. I do not think that ever I saw any beast more vile than you.
A BANKER
Upon my faith, you don’t alarm me now with those expressions.
This is of a hot nature; although it is at a distance off, it scorches badly[*].
TRANIO
[*]Don’t you be troublesome; no one’s going to pay you; do what you please. You are the only person, I suppose, that lends money upon interest.
THEUROPIDES
(to TRANIO.)
Pray, what interest is this that he is asking for?
TRANIO
(in a low voice, to the BANKER.)
Look now; his father has arrived from abroad, not long since; he’ll pay you both interest and principal; don’t you then attempt any further to make us your enemies. See whether he puts you off.
A BANKER
Nay but, I’ll take it, if anything’s offered.
THEUROPIDES
(to TRANIO, coming towards him.)
What do you say, then—?
TRANIO
What is it you mean?
THEUROPIDES
Who is this? What is he asking for? Why is he thus rudely speaking of my son Philolaches in this way, and giving you abuse to your face? What’s owing him?
TRANIO
(to THEUROPIDES.)
I beg of you, do order the money to be thrown in the face of this dirty brute.
THEUROPIDES
I, order it?
TRANIO
Order the fellow’s face to be pelted with money.
A BANKER
(coming nearer.)
I could very well put up with a pelting with money.
THEUROPIDES
(to TRANIO.)
What money’s this?
TRANIO
Philolaches owes this person a little.
THEUROPIDES
How much?
TRANIO
About forty minae.
A BANKER
(to THEUROPIDES.)
Really, don’t think much of that;
it’s a trifle, in fact.
TRANIO
Don’t you hear him? Troth now, prithee, doesn’t he seem just suited to be a Banker—a generation that’s most roguish?
THEUROPIDES
I don’t care, just now, for that, who he is or whence he is;
this I want to be told me, this I very much wish to know—
I heard from him that there was interest owing on the money as well.
TRANIO
Forty-four minae are due to him.
