Then, young man, hand me over this gold.
A SHARPER.
(staring at him.)
What gold am I to give you?
CHARMIDES
That which you have owned you received from me.
A SHARPER.
Received from you?
CHARMIDES
Yes, I say so.
A SHARPER.
Who are you?
CHARMIDES
I am Charmides, who gave you the thousand pieces of money.
A SHARPER.
I’ faith, you are not he; and this day, you never shall be he, for this gold, at any rate. Away with you, if you please, you impostor! (Aside.) You are trying to cheat the cheater.
CHARMIDES
I am Charmides.
A SHARPER.
I’ faith, you are so to no purpose, for I carry[*] no gold. Right cleverly were you down upon me, at the very nick of time.
After I said that I was bringing the gold, that instant you became Charmides. Before I made mention of the gold, you were not he. It won’t do. Just, therefore, in such manner as you Charmidised yourself, do you again un-Charmidise yourself.
CHARMIDES
Who am I, then, if in fact I am not he who I really am?
A SHARPER.
What matters that to me? So long as you are not he whom I do not choose you to be, you may be who you like, for what I care.
Just now, you were not he who you were, now you are become he who then you were not.
CHARMIDES
Come, despatch, if you are going to do it.
A SHARPER.
What am I to do?
CHARMIDES
Give me back the gold.
A SHARPER.
You are dreaming, old gentleman.
CHARMIDES
Did you own that Charmides delivered the gold to you?
A SHARPER.
Yes—in writing[*].
CHARMIDES
Are you making haste or not, you night-robber, to be off with all speed this very instant from this neighbourhood, before I order you to be soundly cudgelled on the spot?
A SHARPER.
For what reason?
CHARMIDES
Because I am that self-same Charmides about whom you have been thus lying, and who you said gave the letters to you.
A SHARPER.
How now; prithee, are you really he?
CHARMIDES
I really am he.
A SHARPER.
Say you so, pray? Are you really he himself?
CHARMIDES
I do say so.
A SHARPER.
Are you his own self?
CHARMIDES
His own self, I say. I am Charmides.
A SHARPER.
And are you then his own self?
