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.
