Perde 5
[Textpart 3]
Immortal Gods, it is mine. (Takes it.) Welcome, dear wallet.
1360
LABRAX
Do you ask the question? If indeed, I’ faith, it were in Jove’s possession, still it is my own.
DAEMONES
Everything in it is safe; there has only been one casket taken out of it, with some trinkets, by means of which this day I have found my daughter.
DAEMONES
Palaestra, who was your property, she has been discovered to be my own daughter.
LABRAX
By my troth, it has happily turned out so; since this matter has happened so fortunately for you according to your wishes, I’m rejoiced.
1365
DAEMONES
In that I don’t readily believe you.
LABRAX
Aye, by my faith, that you may be sure that I’m rejoiced, you shan’t give me three obols for her; I excuse you.
DAEMONES
I’ faith, you are acting kindly.
LABRAX
No, troth; it’s really yourself, indeed, that’s doing so.
GRIPUS
Hark you, you’ve got the wallet now.
LABRAX
I have got it.
1370
LABRAX
Make haste about what?
1370
GRIPUS
To pay me the money.
1370
LABRAX
By my troth, I’ll neither give you anything nor do I owe you anything.
GRIPUS
What mode of proceeding is this? Don’t you owe it me?
LABRAX
Troth, not I indeed.
GRIPUS
Didn’t you promise it me upon your oath?
