965 (DAVUS. PAMPHILUS. CHARINUS.)

DAVUS

Pamphilus ubinam hic est?
965

PAMPHILUS

Dave.

DAVUS

Quis homo est?

PAMPHILUS

Ego sum.

DAVUS

O Pamphile.

PAMPHILUS

Nescis quid mihi obtigerit.

DAVUS

Certe; sed quid mihi obtigerit scio.

PAMPHILUS

Et quidem ego.

DAVUS

More hominum evenit ut quod sim nactus mali

Prius rescisceres tu quam ego illud quod tibi evenit boni.

PAMPHILUS

Mea Glycerium suos parentes repperit.

DAVUS

O factum bene!

CHARINUS

Hem!

PAMPHILUS

Pater amicus summus nobis.
970

DAVUS

Quis?

PAMPHILUS

Chremes.

DAVUS

Narras probe.

PAMPHILUS

Nec mora ulla est quin eam uxorem ducam.

CHARINUS

Num ille somniat

Ea quae vigilans voluit?

PAMPHILUS

Tum de puero Dave?

DAVUS

Ah desine.

Solus est quem diligunt Di.

CHARINUS

Salvus sum si haec vera sunt.

Colloquar.

PAMPHILUS

Quis homo est? O Charine in tempore ipso mihi advenis.

CHARINUS

Bene factum.
975

PAMPHILUS

Audistine?

CHARINUS

Omnia: age me in tuis secundis respice.

Tuus est nunc Chremes: facturum quae voles scio esse omnia.

PAMPHILUS

Memini: atque adeo longum est nos illum expectare dum exeat.

Sequere hac me intus ad Glycerium nunc. Tu Dave abi domum:

Propere arcesse hinc qui auferant eam. Quid stas? quid cessas?

DAVUS

Eo.

Ne expectetis dum exeant huc: intus despondebitur;
980

Intus transigetur si quid est quod restet.

Ω

Plaudite.

965 (Enter DAVUS.)

DAVUS

(to himself.)

Where is Pamphilus, I wonder?
965

PAMPHILUS

Here he is, Davus.

DAVUS

(turning round.)

Who’s that?

PAMPHILUS

’Tis I,

Pamphilus;

you don’t know what has happened to me.

DAVUS

No really; but I know what has happened to myself.

PAMPHILUS

And I too.

DAVUS

It has fallen out just like human affairs in general, that you should know the mishap I have met with, before I the good that has befallen you.

PAMPHILUS

My Glycerium has discovered her parents.

DAVUS

O, well done!

CHARINUS

(apart, in surprise.)

Hah!

PAMPHILUS

Her father is an intimate friend of ours.
970

DAVUS

Who?

PAMPHILUS

Chremes.

DAVUS

You do tell good news.

PAMPHILUS

And there’s no hinderance to my marrying her at once.

CHARINUS

(apart.)

Is he dreaming the same that he has been wishing for when awake?

PAMPHILUS

Then about the child, Davus.

DAVUS

O, say no more; you are the only person whom the Gods favor.

CHARINUS

(apart.)

I’m all right if these things are true. I’ll accost them.

(Comes forward.)

PAMPHILUS

Who is this? Why, Charinus, you meet me at the very nick of time.

CHARINUS

That’s all right.
975

PAMPHILUS

Have you heard—?

CHARINUS

Every thing; come, in your good fortune do have some regard for me. Chremes is now at your command; I’m sure that he’ll do every thing you wish.

PAMPHILUS

I’ll remember you; and because it is tedious for us to wait for him until he comes out, follow me this way; he is now in-doors at the house of Glycerium; do you, Davus, go home; send with all haste to remove her thence. Why are you standing there? Why are you delaying?

DAVUS

I’m going. (PAMPHILUS and CHARINUS go into the house of GLYCERIUM. DAVUS then comes forward and addresses the Audience.) Don’t you wait until they come out from there; she will be betrothed within: if there is any thing else that remains, it will be transacted in-doors.

Grant us your applause.¹
