Dost thou think thy friend Nicholas Frog made a child's bargain?
Mark the words of thy contract, tota pecunia (with all thy money).

[Very well! I have purchased with my own money, my children's and my grandchildren's money--is not that enough?
Well, tota pecunia let it be, for at present I have none at all; he would not have me purchase with other people's money, sure?
Since tota pecunia is the bargain, I think it is plain--no more money, no more purchase.] And whatever the world may say, Nicholas Frog is but a poor man in comparison of the rich, the opulent John Bull, great clothier of the world.

I have had many losses, six of my best sheep were drowned, and the water has come into my cellar, and spoiled a pipe of my best brandy.
It would be a more friendly act in thee to carry a brief about the country to repair the losses of thy poor friend.

Is it not evident to all the world that I am still hemmed in by Lewis Baboon?
Is he not just upon my borders?
[And so he will be if I purchase a thousand acres more, unless he gets somebody betwixt them.] I tell thee, friend John, thou hast flatterers that persuade thee that thou art a man of business; do not believe them.

If thou wouldst still leave thy affairs in my hands, thou shouldst see how handsomely I would deal by thee.
