With most willing heart and soul.
SIMO
Prithee, can’t you venture to make me an abatement of some portion of this money?
PSEUDOLUS
No: you shall say that I really am a greedy fellow; for you shall never be richer by a single coin of this money.
SIMO
Well,
I really didn’t suppose that it would ever come to pass with me that I should be begging of you.
PSEUDOLUS
Load your shoulder with it, and follow me this way.
(Pointing.)
SIMO
I—load myself with that?
PSEUDOLUS
You will load yourself, I’m sure.
SIMO
What am I to do to this fellow? Doesn’t he, contrary to my expectation, take my money, and then laugh at me?
PSEUDOLUS
Woe to the conquered [*]:
turn your back, then.
(Turns him round.)
SIMO
Oh! oh!
desist. Let me alone—
I’m in pain.
PSEUDOLUS
Were you not in pain, I should be in pain;
and no compassion would you have had for my back, if I hadn’t this day managed this.
SIMO
There will be an opportunity for me to be revenged on you, if I live.
PSEUDOLUS
Why do you threaten? I’ve got a back of my own.
SIMO
Very well, then. (Moves as if going.)
PSEUDOLUS
Come you back then.
SIMO
Why come back?
PSEUDOLUS
Only come you back; you shall not be deceived.
SIMO
(turns round.)
I am come back.
PSEUDOLUS
Come and have a drink with me.
SIMO
What—I, come?
PSEUDOLUS
Do as I ask you. If you do come, I’ll let you take half of this, or even more.
(Points to the purse in his hand.)
SIMO
I’ll come; take me where you like, Pseudolus.
PSEUDOLUS
How now then? Are you at all angry with me or with your son, Simo, on account of these matters?
SIMO
Certainly, not at all.
PSEUDOLUS
(going.)
Step this way now.
