Take it[*], its unfastened. (DAEMONES takes out the casket.) Alas, Im undone; I see the casket.
DAEMONES
(holding it up, and addressing PALAESTRA.)
Is this it?
PALAESTRA
That is it. O my parents, here do I keep you locked up;
here have I enclosed both my wealth and my hopes of recognizing you.
GRIPUS
(aside.)
Then, by my faith, the Gods must be enraged with you, whoever you are, who fasten up your parents in so narrow a compass.
DAEMONES
Gripus, come hither, your cause is being tried. (To PALAESTRA.) Do you, young woman, away at a distance there say whats in it, and of what appearance; mention them all.
By my troth, if you make ever so slight a mistake, even if afterwards you wish, madam, to correct yourself, youll be making a great mistake.
GRIPUS
You demand whats real justice.
TRACHALIO
By my troth, then, he doesnt demand yourself; for you are the opposite of justice.
DAEMONES
Now then, say on, young woman. Gripus, give attention and hold your tongue.
PALAESTRA
There are some trinkets.
DAEMONES
(looking in the casket.)
See, here they are, I espy them.
GRIPUS
(aside.)
In the first onset I am worsted;
(takes hold of the arm of DAEMONES) hold, dont be showing.
DAEMONES
Of what description are they? Answer in their order.
PALAESTRA
In the first place, theres a little sword of gold, with an inscription.
DAEMONES
Just tell me, what the characters are upon that little sword.
PALAESTRA
The name of my father. Next, on the other side, theres a little two-edged axe, of gold likewise, with an inscription: there on the axe is the name of my mother.
DAEMONES
Stay;
tell me, whats the name of your father upon the little sword?
PALAESTRA
Daemones.
DAEMONES
Immortal Gods! where in the world are my hopes?
GRIPUS
Aye, by my troth, and where are mine?
DAEMONES
Do proceed forthwith, I entreat you.
GRIPUS
Cautiously, or else (aside) away to utter perdition.
DAEMONES
Say, whats the name of your mother, here upon the little axe?
PALAESTRA
Daedalis.
DAEMONES
The Gods will that I should be preserved.
GRIPUS
But that I should be ruined.
DAEMONES
This must be my own daughter, Gripus.
