404 (SIMO. DAVUS. PAMPHILUS.)

SIMO

Reviso quid agant aut quid captent consili.

DAVUS

Hic nunc non dubitat quin te ducturum neges.

Venit meditatus alicunde ex solo loco:

Orationem sperat invenisse se

Qui differat te: proin tu fac apud te ut sies.

PAMPHILUS

Modo ut possim Dave.

DAVUS

Crede inquam hoc mihi Pamphile,

Numquam hodie tecum commutaturum patrem
410

Unum esse verbum si te dices ducere.

404 (Enter SIMO, at a distance.)

SIMO

(apart to himself.)

I’ve come back to see what they are about, or what scheme they are hatching.

DAVUS

(to PAMPHILUS.)

He has no doubt at present but that you’ll refuse to marry. Having considered his course, he’s come from a retired spot somewhere or other; he hopes that he has framed a speech by which to disconcert you; do you take care, then, to be yourself.

PAMPHILUS

If I am only able, Davus.

DAVUS

Trust me for that, Pamphilus, I tell you; your father will never this day exchange a single word with you, if you say that you will marry.
