Her father too?
TRACHALIO
So I reckon.
PLESIDIPPUS
After that, her mother?
TRACHALIO
So I reckon.
PLESIDIPPUS
And what after that? When I arrive, should I also embrace her father?
TRACHALIO
So I don’t reckon.
PLESIDIPPUS
Well, her mother?
TRACHALIO
So I don’t reckon.
PLESIDIPPUS
Well, her own self?
TRACHALIO
So I don’t reckon.
PLESIDIPPUS
Confusion, he has closed his reckoning[*]; now when I wish him, he doesn’t reckon.
TRACHALIO
You are not in your senses; follow me.
PLESIDIPPUS
Conduct me, my patron, where you please.
(They go into the cottage of DAEMONES.)
1281
(Enter LABRAX, at a distance.)
LABRAX
(to himself.)
What other mortal being is there living this day more wretched than myself, whom before the commissioned judges[*] Plesidippus has just now cast? Palaestra has just been taken from me by award. I’m ruined outright. But I do believe that Procurers were procreated for mere sport;
so much do all persons make sport if any misfortune befalls a Procurer. Now I’ll go look here, in the Temple of Venus, for that other female, that her at least I may take away, the only portion of my property that remains.
(He retires a little distance.)
1288
(Enter GRIPUS, from the cottage of DAEMONES, with a spit in his hand.)
GRIPUS
(calling to the PEOPLE within.)
By the powers, you shall never this day at nightfall behold Gripus alive, unless the wallet is restored to me.
LABRAX
(behind.)
I’m ready to die; when I hear mentior made anywhere of a wallet, I’m thumped, as it were with a stake, upon the breast.
GRIPUS
(at the door, continuing.)
That scoundrel is free; I, the person that held the net in the sea, and drew up the wallet, to him you refuse to give anything.
LABRAX
(behind.)
O ye immortal Gods! by his talk this person has made me prick up my ears.
GRIPUS
(continuing.)
By my troth, in letters a cubit long, I’ll immediately post it up in every quarter,
If any person has lost a wallet with plenty of gold and silver, let him come to Gripus. You shan’t keep it as you are wishing.
LABRAX
(behind.)
I’ faith, this person knows, as I think, who has got the wallet. This person must be accosted by me; ye Gods, aid me, I do entreat you.
(Some one calls GRIPUS, from within.)
GRIPUS
Why are you calling me back in-doors? (He rubs away at the spit.) I want to clean this here before the door.
But surely this, I’ faith, has been made of rust, and not of iron; so that the more I rub it, it becomes quite red and more slender. Why surely this spit has been drugged[*]; it does waste away so in my hands.
LABRAX
(accosting him.)
Save you, young man.
GRIPUS
May the Gods prosper you with your shorn pate[*].
LABRAX
What’s going on?
GRIPUS
A spit being cleaned.
LABRAX
How do you do?
GRIPUS
What are you? Prithee, are you a medicant[*]?
