Everything in it is safe; there has only been one casket taken out of it, with some trinkets, by means of which this day I have found my daughter.

LABRAX

What person?

DAEMONES

Palaestra, who was your property, she has been discovered to be my own daughter.

LABRAX

By my troth, it has happily turned out so; since this matter has happened so fortunately for you according to your wishes, I’m rejoiced.

DAEMONES

In that I don’t readily believe you.

LABRAX

Aye, by my faith, that you may be sure that I’m rejoiced, you shan’t give me three obols for her; I excuse you.

DAEMONES

I’ faith, you are acting kindly.

LABRAX

No, troth; it’s really yourself, indeed, that’s doing so.

(Going off with the wallet.)

GRIPUS

Hark you, you’ve got the wallet now.

LABRAX

I have got it.

GRIPUS

Make haste.

LABRAX

Make haste about what?

GRIPUS

To pay me the money.

LABRAX

By my troth, I’ll neither give you anything nor do I owe you anything.

GRIPUS

What mode of proceeding is this? Don’t you owe it me?

LABRAX

Troth, not I indeed.

GRIPUS

Didn’t you promise it me upon your oath?

LABRAX

I did take an oath, and now I’ll take an oath, if it is in any way my own pleasure; oaths were invented for preserving property, not for losing it.
