What, shall I suffer her to be embracing other men before my eyes? I’ faith, ’twere better that I were dead. Woman, take your hands off of him, unless, perhaps, by this sword of mine, won from the enemy, you wish yourself and him to die.
(Flourishing his sword.)
PHRONESIUM
There’s no use in badinage[*], Captain. If you want yourself to be loved, with gold, Stratophanes, not with iron, may you prevent him from loving me.
STRATOPHANES
How, the plague, are you pretty or witty, to be fond of a fellow of that description?
PHRONESIUM
(aside, to STRATOPHANES.)
Don’t it come to your recollection what an actor once said upon the stage? All people have an eye to their profit, and are not over delicate.
STRATOPHANES
That you could possibly caress this fellow, so dirty and foul!
PHRONESIUM
Although he is dirty, although he is foul, still, he’s pretty to me.
STRATOPHANES
Didn’t I give you some gold?
PHRONESIUM
To me? You gave money for the child’s food.
STRABAX
Now, if you hope to have her, another mina of gold is requisite.
STRATOPHANES
A sore mishap upon these people, and a weighty one!
STRABAX
By all means, keep that by way of provision for your own journey. [*]
STRATOPHANES
What does she owe you?
STRABAX
Three things.
STRATOPHANES
What, pray?
STRABAX
Perfumes, her favours, and kisses.
PHRONESIUM
(apart.)
He answers him like for like. (To STRATOPHANES.) But now, at all events, if you do love me,
do you give me some little trifle from your most abundant treasures.
STRATOPHANES
Do say, there’s a dear, what it is that I’m to give you; only say. If I have it left, you shall have it.
PHRONESIUM
Mere kickshaws[*] you’re talking about. Be off, be off.
(STRABAX kisses her.)
STRATOPHANES
I’ve considered this over with myself.[*] My good sir, take you care, will you, that she don’t inflict a wound upon you, whose teeth are made of iron.
She’s allowing access to her to all in common.
You take your hand off of her.
STRABAX
(striking him.)
Then, by my troth, do you take that, with a hearty punch, warlike man!
STRATOPHANES
I’ve given her gold.
STRABAX
And I, silver.
STRATOPHANES
And I a mantle and a purple garment.
