Do you only buy her.
DAUGHTER
Now this I tell you: my father will be here directly, when he knows that I’ve been sold, and will ransom me thus separated from him.
TOXILUS
What say you now?
DORDALUS
What’s the matter?
TOXILUS
Do you hear what she says?
DAUGHTER
For although his fortunes are broken, he still has friends.
(Pretends to cry.)
DORDALUS
Don’t weep, please; you’ll soon be at liberty, if—you have sweethearts enough[*]. Would you like to belong to me?
DAUGHTER
So long, indeed, as I don’t belong to you too long. I’d like.
TOXILUS
How well she does keep in mind her liberty. She’ll be producing you fine hauls. About it, if you are about it. I’ll go back to him. (To the YOUNG WOMAN.) Do you follow me. (To SAGARISTIO) I’ve brought her back to you.
DORDALUS
Young man, are you disposed to sell her?
SAGARISTIO
I’d like it, rather than lose her.
DORDALUS
Do you compress it then into a few words; state the price at which she’s offered.
SAGARISTIO
I’ll do so, as I see you wish it. Take her for a hundred minae.
DORDALUS
That’s too much.
SAGARISTIO
For eighty.
DORDALUS
That’s too much.
SAGARISTIO
There can’t a didrachm be abated from the price which I shall now name.
DORDALUS
What is it, then? Speak out at once and name it.
SAGARISTIO
At your own risk, she’s offered at sixty minae.
DORDALUS
Toxilus, what am I to do?
TOXILUS
(aside to DORDALUS.)
The Gods and Goddesses are pursuing you with their vengeance, you rogue, for not making haste to purchase her.
DORDALUS
Take them, then.
TOXILUS
Well done, you have got a rich prize! Be off, and fetch the money out here. On my faith, she’s not dear at three hundred minae.
SAGARISTIO
Hark you, for her clothing there’ll be ten minae added to this as well.
DORDALUS
Yes, be deducted, not added.
TOXILUS
Do hold your tongue, will you; don’t you see that he’s seeking an excuse to have the bargain broken? Why don’t you be off and fetch the money?
DORDALUS
(to TOXILUS, as he is going.)
Hark you, do you keep an eye upon him.
TOXILUS
Why don’t you then go in?
DORDALUS
I’ll go and fetch the money.
(Goes into his house.)
673
(The DAUGHTER of SATURIO, TOXILUS, and SAGARISTIO.)
TOXILUS
Upon my word, young lady, you have given us praiseworthy aid, good. and wise, and sensible.
