957 (CHARINUS. PAMPHILUS.)

CHARINUS

Proviso quid agat Pamphilus; atque eccum.

PAMPHILUS

Aliquis forsan me putet

Non putare hoc verum: at mihi nunc sic esse hoc verum libet.

Ego Deorum vitam propterea sempiternam esse arbitror

Quod voluptates eorum propriae sunt; nam mihi immortalitas
960

Parta est, si nulla aegritudo huic gaudio intercesserit.

Sed quem ego mihi potissimum optem nunc cui haec narrem dari?

CHARINUS

Quid illud gaudi est?

PAMPHILUS

Davum video: nemo est quem mallem omnium;

Nam hunc scio mea solide solum gavisurum gaudia.

CHARINUS

(apart to himself.)

I’m come to see what Pamphilus is about; and look, here he is.

PAMPHILUS

(to himself.)

Some one perhaps might imagine that I don’t believe this to be true; but now it is clear to me that it really is true. I do think that the life of the Gods is everlasting,

for this reason, because their joys are their own. ¹ For immortality has been obtained by me, if no sorrow interrupts this delight. But whom in particular could I wish to be now thrown in my way, for me to relate these things to?

CHARINUS

(apart to himself.)

What means this rapture?

PAMPHILUS

(to himself.)

I see Davus. There is no one in the world whom I would choose in preference; for I am sure that he of all people will sincerely rejoice in my happiness.
