Perde 4
[Textpart 4]
That’s a rascally fellow there.
DAEMONES
What has the rascally fellow done to you?
TRACHALIO
I wish the ancles of that fellow were smashed.
DAEMONES
What’s the thing about which you are now disputing between yourselves?
1060
TRACHALIO
I’ll tell you.
1060
GRIPUS
No, I’ll tell you.
TRACHALIO
I fancy I’m to move the matter first.
GRIPUS
If indeed you were a decent person, you would be moving yourself off from here.
DAEMONES
Gripus, give attention, and hold your tongue
GRIPUS
In order that that fellow may speak first?
DAEMONES
Attend, Itell you. (To TRACHALIO.) Do you say on.
GRIPUS
Will you give the right of speaking to a stranger sooner than to your own servant?
TRACHALIO
O dear! how impossible it is for him to be kept quiet.
As I was beginning to say, that Procurer, whom some little time since you turned out of the Temple of Venus—see (pointing at the wallet), he has got his wallet.
1065
TRACHALIO
Do you deny that which I see with my own eyes?
GRIPUS
But I only wish you couldn’t see. I have got it, and I haven’t got it; why do you trouble yourself about me, what things I do?
TRACHALIO
In what way you got it does matter, whether rightfully or wrongfully.
GRIPUS
If I didn’t take it in the sea, there’s not a reason why you shouldn’t deliver me up to the cross. If I took it in the sea with my net, how is it yours rather than my own?
1070
TRACHALIO
He is deceiving you; the matter happened in this way, as I am telling you.
