Have you got the money from the fellow?
BALLIO
Do you ask about that which you see?
(Shows the purse in his hand.)
SIMO
Harkye, remember to give me one half of that plunder.
It’s right that that should be in common.
BALLIO
Why, plague on’t, ’tis all your own [*].
HARPAX
(coming forward a step.)
How soon are you going to attend to me?
BALLIO
I’ll attend to you, indeed. (Aside.) What now do you advise me to do, Simo?
SIMO
(aside.)
Let’s make some fun of this counterfeit spy, even until he himself shall be sensible that he is being made a fool of.
BALLIO
Follow me. (To HARPAX.) What have you to say? You are his servant, I suppose?
HARPAX
Most certainly.
BALLIO
At what price did he purchase you?
HARPAX
With the victory of his prowess in battle; for I was a very great general at home in my own country.
BALLIO
Why, did he ever capture a gaol in your country?
HARPAX
If you utter affronting speeches, you’ll be hearing them.
BALLIO
In what time did you come from Sicyon hither?
HARPAX
In one day, by noon.
SIMO
Bravo! By my troth, you did come quickly;
how very swift of foot this man is.
BALLIO
When you look at his calves, you might know that he can wear heavy fetters.
How say you—were you also, when a child, in the habit of sleeping in a cradle?
SIMO
Of course.
BALLIO
And were you, too, in the habit of doing [*]—you know what I mean?
SIMO
Of course he was in the habit of doing as other children did?
HARPAX
Are you men in your senses?
BALLIO
What, because I asked you that?
At night, when the Captain was going on guard, and when you were going with him, did the sword of the officer fit your scabbard?
HARPAX
Go to utter perdition.
BALLIO
You, indeed, shall have the opportunity of going there in good time to-day.
HARPAX
But do you bring out the woman to me, or else give me back the money.
BALLIO
Wait a bit.
