What you stole from me.

_Lyc._

Surripui ego tuom? unde? aut quid id est?

I stole something of yours? Where from? What?

_Eucl._

Ita te amabit Iuppiter
ut tu nescis.

(_ironically_) God bless your innocence--you don't know!

_Lyc._

Nisi quidem tu mihi quid quaeras dixeris.

Not unless you say what you're looking for.

_Eucl._

Aulam auri, inquam, te resposco, quam tu confessu's mihi
te abstulisse.

The pot of gold, I tell you; I want back the pot of gold you
owned up to taking.

_Lyc._

Neque edepol ego dixi neque feci.

Great heavens, man! I never said that or did it, either.

_Eucl._

Negas?

You deny it?

_Lyc._

Pernego immo. nam neque ego aurum neque istaec aula quae siet
scio nec novi.

Deny it? Absolutely. Why, I don't know, haven't any idea,
about your gold, or what that pot is.

_Eucl._

Illam, ex Silvani luco quam abstuleras, cedo.
i, refer. dimidiam tecum potius partem dividam.
tam etsi fur mihi es, molestus non ero. i vero, refer.

The one you took from the grove of Silvanus--give it me. Go,
bring it back. (_pleadingly_) You can have half of it, yes,
yes, I'll divide. Even though you are such a thief, I won't
make any trouble for you. Do, do go and bring it back, oh do!

_Lyc._

Sanus tu non es qui furem me voces. ego te, Euclio,
de alia re rescivisse censui, quod ad me attinet; 770
[16]magna est res quam ego tecum otiose, si otium est, cupio loqui.

Man alive, you're out of your senses, calling me a thief.
I supposed you had found out about something else that does
concern me, Euclio. There's an important matter I'm anxious
to talk over quietly with you, sir, if you're at leisure.

_Eucl._

Dic bona fide: tu id aurum non surripuisti?

Give me your word of honour: you didn't steal that gold?

_Lyc._

Bona.

(_shaking his head_) On my honour.

_Eucl._

Neque eum scis qui abstulerit?

And you don't know the man that did take it?

_Lyc._

Istuc quoque bona.

Nor that, either, on my honour.

_Eucl._

Atque id si scies
qui abstulerit, mihi indicabis?

And if you learn who took it, you'll inform me?

_Lyc._

Faciam.

I will.

_Eucl._

Neque partem tibi
ab eo qui habet indipisces neque furem excipies?

And you won't go s
