Give me, will you, a great talent of silver, you most perjured fellow.
DAEMONES
Gripus, what talent is it you are asking him for?
GRIPUS
He promised it me on oath.
LABRAX
I chose to swear; (turning to DAEMONES) are you the priest[*] as to my perjury?
DAEMONES
(to GRIPUS.)
For what reason did he promise you the money?
GRIPUS
If I restored this wallet into his hands, he swore that he would give
me a great talent of silver.
LABRAX
Find me a person with whom I may go to the judge, to decide whether you did not make the bargain with wicked fraudulence, and whether I am yet five-and-twenty years old[*].
GRIPUS
(pointing to DAEMONES.)
Go to the judge with him.
LABRAX
No; I must have some other person.
DAEMONES
(to LABRAX.)
Then I shan’t allow you to take it away from him, unless I shall have found him guilty. Did you promise him the money?
LABRAX
I confess it.
DAEMONES
What you promised my slave
must needs be my own. Don’t you be supposing, Procurer, that you are to be using your pimping honesty here. That can’t be.
GRIPUS
(to LABRAX.)
Did you fancy now that you had got hold of a person whom you might cheat? It must be paid down here (holding his hand), good silver coin; I shall, at once, pay it to him (pointing to DAEMONES), so that he may give me my liberty.
DAEMONES
Inasmuch, therefore, as I have acted courteously towards you, and by my means these things (pointing to the wallet) have been saved for you—
GRIPUS
I’ faith, by my means, rather; don’t say by yours.
DAEMONES
(to GRIPUS.)
If you are prudent you’ll hold your tongue. (To LABRAX.) Then it befits you in a like courteous manner kindly to return the obligation to myself, who so well merit the same.
