Venus (Pennsylvania, United States) (search for this): act 4, scene 4
GRIPUS If indeed you were a decent person, you would be moving yourself off from here. DÆM. Gripus, give attention, and hold your tongue GRIPUS In order that that fellow may speak first? DÆM. 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. GRIPUS I haven't got it. 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

GRIPUS May Jupiter and the Gods confound you. What do you say, you sorcerer of a fellow? What, are these women dumb, that they are not able to speak for themselves? TRACHALIO They are silent for this reason, because a silent woman is always better than a talking one. GRIPUS Then, i' faith, by your way of speaking, you are neither a man nor a woman to my notion. TRACHALIO How so? GRIPUS Why, because neither talking nor silent are you ever good for anything. Prithee to DÆMONES, shall I ever be allowed to-day

Gripus, do you pay attention. To TRACHALIO. You explain in a few words what it is you want? TRACHALIO For my part, I have stated it; but if you haven't understood me, I'll state it over again. Both of these women pointing to them, as I said a short time since, ought to be free; pointing to PALÆSTRA she was stolen at Athens when a little girl. GRIPUS Tell me what that has got to do with the wallet, whether they are slaves or whether free women? TRACHALIO You wish it all to be told over again, you rascal, so that the day may fail us. DÆM. Leave off your abuse, and explain to me what I've been asking. TRACHALIO There ought to be a casket of wicker-workCasket of wicker-work: "Caudeam."
