Pompeii (Italy) (search for this): act 2, scene 2
on with the ancients. Erasmus says that it was applied to those who pretended to be friendly to a person, and at the same time were doing him mischief; and that it was borrowed from persons enticing a dog with a piece of bread, and, when it had come sufficiently near, pelting it with a stone. The expression is used in the New Testament. "If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?" St. Luke, c. xi., v. 11. The bread, as we learn from specimens found at Pompeii, was often made into cakes, which somewhat resembled large stones.. while he shows the bread in the other. I trust no person, who, rich himself, is exceedingly courteous to a poor man; when he extends his hand with a kind air, then is he loading you with some damage. I know these polypiThese polypi: Ovid says in his Halieuticon, or Treatise on Fishes: "But, on the other hand, the sluggish polypus sticks to the rocks with its body provided with feelers, and by this stratagem it escapes the

unite yourself in alliance with the virtuous, so much the better. Do you receive this proposal, listen to me, and promise her to me. EUCLIO But indeed there is no marriage-portion. MEGADORUS You are to give none; so long as she comes with good principles, she is sufficiently portioned. EUCLIO I say so for this reason, that you mayn't be supposing that I have found any treasures. MEGADORUS I know that; don't enlarge upon it. Promise her to me. EUCLIO So be it. Starts and looks about. But, O Jupiter, am I not utterly undone? MEGADORUS What's the matter with you? EUCLIO What was it sounded just now as though it were iron? MEGADORUS Here at my place, I ordered them to dig up the garden. EUCLIO runs off into his house. But where is this man? He's off, and he hasn't fully answered me; he treats me with contempt. Because he sees that I wish for his friendship, he acts after the manner of mankind. For if a wealthy person goes to ask a favour of a poorer one, the poor man is afraid to treat w

Gods so do. Take you care of this, and remember that we've agreed, that my daughter is not to bring you any portion. MEGADORUS I remember it. EUCLIO But I understand in what fashion you, of your class, are wont to equivocate; an agreement is no agreement, no agreement is an agreement, just as it pleases you. MEGADORUS I'll have no misunderstanding with you. But what reason is there why we shouldn't have the nuptials this day? EUCLIO Why, by my troth, there is very good reason for them. MEGADORUS I'll go, then, and prepare matters. Do you want me in any way? EUCLIO That shall be done. Fare you well. MEGADORUS going to the door of his house and calling out. Hallo! Strobilus, follow me quickly, in all haste, to the fleshmarket. (Exit MEGADORUS.) EUCLIO He has gone hence. Immortal Gods, I do beseech you! How powerful is gold! I do believe, now, that he has had some intimation that I've got a treasure at home; he's gaping for that; for the sake of that has he persisted in this alliance.
