TRA. I know that you have a good voice; don't bawl out so loud. BAN. (_aloud_). I' faith, I certainly shall bawl out. TRA. O, do humour me _now_. BAN. What do you want me to humour you in? TRA. Prithee, be off hence home. BAN. Be off? TRA. Return here about mid-day. BAN. Will the interest be paid then? TRA. It will be paid. Be off. BAN. Why should I run to and fro here, or use or waste my pains? What if I remain here until mid-day in preference? TRA. Why no; be off home. On my word, I'm telling the truth. Only do be off. BAN. (_aloud_). Then do you pay me my interest. Why do you trifle _with me_ this way? TRA. Bravo! faith. Really now, do be off; do attend to me. BAN. (_aloud_). I' faith, I'll call him now by name. TRA. Bravo! stoutly done! Really you are _quite_ rich now when you bawl out. BAN. (_aloud_). I'm asking for my own. In this way you've been disappointing me for these many days past. If I'm troublesome, give me back the money; I'll go away _then_: That expression [4] puts an end to all replies. TRA. (_pretending to offer it him_). _Then_, take the principal [5]. BAN. (_aloud_). Why no, the interest; I want that first. TRA. What? Have you, you fellow most foul of all fellows, come here to burst yourself? Do what lies in your power. He's not going to pay you; he doesn't owe it. BAN. Not owe it? TRA. Not a tittle, indeed, can you get from here. Would you prefer for him to go abroad, _and_ leave the city in exile, driven hence for your sake? Why then, in preference let him pay the [6] principal. BAN. But I don't ask for it. THEU. (_calling out to_ TRANIO,_from a distance_). Hark you! you whip-knave, come back to me. TRA. (_to_ THEUROPIDES). I'll be there just now. (_To the_ BANKER.) Don't you be troublesome: no one's going to pay you; do what you please. You are the only person, I suppose, that lends money upon interest. (_Moves towards_ THEUROPIDES.) BAN. (_bawling aloud_). Give me my interest! pay me my interest! you pay my interest! Are you going to give me my interest this instant? Give me my interest! TRA. Interest here, interest there! The old rogue knows how to talk about nothing but interest. I do not think that ever I saw any beast more vile than you. BAN. Upon my faith, you don't alarm me now with those expressions. This is of a hot nature; although it is at a distance off, it scorches badly [7]. TRA. Don't you be troublesome; no one's going to pay you; do what you please. You are the only person, I suppose, that lends money upon interest. THEU. (_to_ TRANIO). Pray, what interest is this that he is asking for? TRA. (_in a low voice, to the_ BANKER). Look now; his father has arrived from abroad, not long since; he'll pay you both, interest and principal; don't you then attempt any further to make us your enemies. See whether he puts you off. BAN. Nay but, I'll take it, if anything's offered. THEU. (_to_ TRANIO, _coming towards him_). What do you say, _then_--? TRA. What is it you mean?
