midday
Shall I lose my reward now because my work be unfinished by ever so little ? It may be that , having gone , I shall not return . Do you think I will leave you here to laugh at me ? You will go , or , to-morrow , Baal-Melkarth shall speak the word , and , before midday , Hannibal shall give orders to march to Rome . Why do you think I have gathered this wealth ? Look ! I have risked all for it , and you shall not escape . ''
