Chorus
1465
As for Philocleon's son, I, like all wise and judicious men, cannot sufficiently praise his filial tenderness and his tact. Never have I met a more amiable nature, and I have conceived the greatest fondness for him.
1470
How he triumphed on every point in his discussion with his father, when he wanted to bring him back to more worthy and honourable tastes!
