No, I’ faith, I am more than a medicant by one letter.
GRIPUS
Then you are a mendicant.
LABRAX
You’ve hit it to a nicety[*].
GRIPUS
Your appearance seems suitable to it. But what’s the matter with you?
LABRAX
Troth, this last night I was shipwrecked at sea the vessel was cast away, and to my misfortune I lost there everything that I had.
GRIPUS
What did you lose?
LABRAX
A wallet with plenty of gold and silver.
GRIPUS
Do you at all remember what there was in the wallet which was lost?
LABRAX
What matters for us now to be talking of it, if, in spite of it, it’s lost?
GRIPUS
What if I know who has found it? I wish to learn from you the tokens.
LABRAX
Eight hundred golden pieces were there in a purse, besides a hundred Philippean minae in a wash-leather bag apart.
GRIPUS
(aside.)
Troth, it is a noble prize; I shall be getting a handsome reward. The Gods show respect to mortals; therefore I shall come off bounteously rewarded. No doubt, it is this man’s wallet. (To LABRAX.) Do you proceed to relate the rest.
LABRAX
A large talent of silver of full weight was in a purse, besides a bowl, a goblet, a beaker, a boat, and a cup.
GRIPUS
Astonishing! you really did have some splendid riches.
LABRAX
A shocking expression is that, and a most abominable one. You did have, and now have not.
GRIPUS
What would you be ready to give to one who should find these out for you, and give you information? Say, speedily and at once.
LABRAX
Three hundred didrachms.
GRIPUS
Rubbish.
LABRAX
Four hundred.
GRIPUS
Old thrums.
LABRAX
Five hundred.
GRIPUS
A rotten nut.
LABRAX
Six hundred.
GRIPUS
You are prating about mere tiny weevils.
LABRAX
I’ll give seven hundred.
GRIPUS
Your mouth is hot, you are cooling it[*] just now.
LABRAX
I’ll give a thousand didrachms.
GRIPUS
You are dreaming.
LABRAX
I add no more;
be off with you.
