Perde 4
[Textpart 2]
Not wrongfully, and with good reason, are you abusive against them.
CURCULIO
If abuse is uttered against those who deserve it not, that I do hold to be abuse; but if it is uttered against those who are deserving, it is fair censure, in my way of thinking, at least.
I care nothing about your warranty, nor about any other Procurer whatever. Lyco, do you want anything with me?
515
LYCO
Heartily fare you well.
CURCULIO
Farewell. (Going.)
CAPPADOX
Hark you! I say to you—
CURCULIO
Say on; what do you want?
CAPPADOX
Prithee do you take care that all’s well with her (pointing to PLANESIUM); I’ve brought her up in my house carefully and in chastity.
CURCULIO
If you have such compassion for her, pray, what would you give for it to be all well with her?
CAPPADOX
A plaguy mishap for yourself.
CURCULIO
You need take due care on that score about yourself.
CAPPADOX
Why, simpleton, do you cry? Don’t be afraid; upon my faith, I’ve sold you favourably. Take care, will you, and be a good girl; now prettily accompany him, pretty one.
520
LYCO
Summanus, do you want anything with me at present?
CURCULIO
Fare you well, and health attend you. (Aside.) For you’ve kindly given me your services and your money.
LYCO
Give abundant greetings to my patron.
LYCO
Procurer, do you wish for anything?
525
CAPPADOX
Give me those ten minae for me to manage for myself with, until things are better with me.
525
LYCO
They shall be paid; order them to be fetched to-morrow.
CAPPADOX
Since I’ve successfully finished the matter, I wish to return thanks here in the Temple. For long since, when a little girl, I bought her for ten minae; but him who sold her to me, never since then have I set eyes upon.
