Cast. There is no need for you to advise me on that score.
Manr. We have been completely beaten!
Tam. We have won four denarii. Shuffle!
Val. I go five asses.
Cast. I don’t know whether I shall pass, for I am sure to be beaten.
Tam. Five more!
Cast. What do you reply to this call?
Manr. What am I to say? I let it pass.
Cast. You lost the last game. Let me lose this in accordance with my own ideas. I know that I am of less skill, but I must hold out as long as I seem to have any strength.
