What, do you wish the same thing to be done to myself, that your master has been accustomed to do to yourself?
If he is in the habit of putting a check upon you, this master of ours isn’t in the habit of doing so with us.
DAEMONES
(to TRACUALIO.)
In that remark only has he got the better[*] of you. What do you want now? Tell me.
TRACHALIO
For my part, I neither ask for a share of that wallet there, nor have I ever said this day that it is my own; but in it there is a little casket that belongs to this female (pointing to PALAESTRA), whom a short time since I averred to be free born.
DAEMONES
You are speaking of her, I suppose, whom a short time since you said was my countrywoman?
TRACHALIO
Just so; and those trinkets which formerly, when little, she used to wear, are there in that casket, which is in that wallet. This thing is of no service to him, and will be of utility to her, poor creature, if he gives it up, by means of which to seek for her parents.
DAEMONES
I’ll make him give it up; hold your tongue.
GRIPUS
I’ faith, I’m going to give nothing to that fellow.
TRACHALIO
I ask for nothing but the casket and the trinkets[*].
GRIPUS
What if they are made of gold?
TRACHALIO
What’s that to you? Gold shall be paid for gold, silver shall have its weight in silver in return.
GRIPUS
Please let me see the gold; after that I’ll let you see the casket.
DAEMONES
(to GRIPUS.)
Do you beware of punishment, and hold your tongue. (To TRACHALIO.) As you commenced to speak do you go on.
TRACHALIO
This one thing I entreat of you, that you will have compassion on this female, if, indeed, this wallet is that Procurer’s, which I suspect it is. In this matter, I’m saying nothing of certainty to you, but only on conjecture.
GRIPUS
Do you see how the rascal’s wheedling him?
TRACHALIO
Allow me to say on as I commenced. If this is the wallet that belongs to that villain whose I say it is,
these women here will be able to recognize it; order him to show it to them.
GRIPUS
Say you so? To show it to them?
DAEMONES
He doesn’t say unreasonably, Gripus, that the wallet should be shown.
GRIPUS
Yes, I’ faith, confoundedly unreasonably.
DAEMONES
How so?
GRIPUS
Because, if I do show it, at once they’ll say, of course, that they recognize it.
TRACHALIO
Source of villany, do you suppose that all other people are just like yourself, you author of perjury?
GRIPUS
All this I easily put up with, so long as he (pointing to DAEMONES) is of my way of thinking[*].
TRACHALIO
But now he is against you; from this (pointing to the wallet) will he obtain true testimony.
DAEMONES
Gripus, do you pay attention. (To TRACHALIO.) You explain in a few words what it is you want?
TRACHALIO
For my part, I have stated it; but if you haven’t understood me, I’ll state it over again. Both of these women (pointing to them), as I said a short time since, ought to be free;
(pointing to PALAESTRA) she was stolen at Athens when a little girl.
GRIPUS
Tell me what that has got to do with the wallet, whether they are slaves or whether free women?
TRACHALIO
You wish it all to be told over again, you rascal, so that the day may fail us.
