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."

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.

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

TRACHALIO I'm mad, in need of hellebore. GRIPUS But I'm troubled with sprites; still I shan't let this go. Hugs the wallet. TRACHALIO Only add a single word more, that instant I'll drive my fists smash into your brains. This instant on this spot, just as a new napkin is wont to be wrung, I'll wring out of you whatever moisture there is, if you don't let this go.

GRIPUS * * * * * There was a boisterous tempest yesterday; no fish have I, young man; don't you be supposing I have. Don't you see that I'm carrying my dripping net without the scaly race? TRACHALIO I' faith, I'm not wishing for fish so much as I am in need of your conversation. GRIPUS Then, whoever you are, you are worrying me to death with your annoyance. TRACHALIO takes hold of him. I'll not allow you to go away from here; stop. GRIPUS Take you care of a mishap, if you please; but why the plague are you dragging me back? TRACHALIO Listen. GRIPUS I won't listen.

What a villain this that I have met with to-day! TRACHALIO We are wasting words; the day wears apace. Consider, please, by whose arbitration do you wish us to proceed?

Now, when I shall be free, then, in fine, I'll provide me land and housesLand and houses: Is not this wonderfully like Alnaschar's reverie in the Arabian Nights, so aptly quoted in the Spectator? and slaves: I'll carry on merchandize with large ships: among the grandees I shall be considered a grandee. Afterwards, for the sake of pleasing myself, I'll build me a ship and I'll imitate StratonicusStratonicus: He was the treasurer of Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great, and was famed for his wealth among the Greeks, as Crassus was among the Romans., and I'll be carried about from town to town. When my greatness is far-spread, I shall fortify some great city: to that city I shall give the name of "Gripus," a memorial of my fame and exploits, and there I'll establish a mighty kingdom.

These thanks do I return to Neptune, my patron, who dwells in the salt retreats, the abode of fishes, inasmuch as he has despatched me finely laden on my return from his retreats, and from his Temples, laden with most abundant booty, with safety to my boat, which in the stormy sea made me master of a singular and rich haul. In a wondrous and incredible manner has this haul turned out prosperously for me, nor yet have I this day taken a single ounce weight of fish, but only that which I am here bringing with me in my net. For when I arose in the middle of the night, and without sloth, I preferred profit to sleep and rest; in the raging tempest, I determined to try how I might lighten the poverty of my master and my own servitude, not sparing of my own exertions.

TRACHALIO Some old gentleman, I don't know who, a neighbour of the Temple of Venus--he gave very kind assistance; he is now protecting them with his servants--I committed them to his charge.

For my part, I told you that this day I would make my appearance at the Temple of Venus; have I swerved at all from that? Am I not there?
