230 (CLINIA. CLITIPHO.)

CLINIA

Si mihi secundae res de amore meo essent, iamdudum, scio,
230

Venissent: sed vereor ne mulier me absente hic corrupta sit.

Concurrunt multae opiniones quae mihi animum exaugeant;

Occasio, locus, aetas, mater cuius sub imperio est mala;

Cui nihil iam praeter pretium dulce est.

CLITIPHO

Clinia.

CLINIA

Hei misero mihi!

CLITIPHO

Etiam caves ne videat forte hinc te a patre aliquis exiens?
235

CLINIA

Faciam: sed nescio quid profecto mihi animus praesagit mali.

CLITIPHO

Pergin istuc prius diiudicare quam scis quid veri siet?

CLINIA

Si nihil mali esset, iam hic adessent.

CLITIPHO

Iam aderunt.

CLINIA

Quando istuc erit?

CLITIPHO

Non cogitas hinc longule esse? et nosti mores mulierum:

Dum moliuntur, dum conantur, annus est.
240

CLINIA

O Clitipho,

Timeo.

CLITIPHO

Respira: eccum Dromonem cum Syro: una adsunt tibi.

230 (Enter CLINIA from the house of CHREMES.)

CLINIA

(to himself.)

If my love-affairs had been prosperous for me, I am sure she would have been here by this; but I’m afraid that the damsel has been led astray here in my absence. Many things combine to strengthen this opinion in my mind; opportunity, the place, her age, a worthless mother, under whose control she is, with whom nothing but gain is precious.

(Enter CLITIPHO.)

CLITIPHO

Clinia!

CLINIA

Alas! wretched me!

CLITIPHO

Do, pray, take care that no one coming out of your father’s house sees you here by accident.
235

CLINIA

I will do so; but really my mind presages I know not what misfortune.

CLITIPHO

Do you persist in making up your mind upon that, before you know what is the fact?

CLINIA

Had no misfortune happened, she would have been here by this.

CLITIPHO

She’ll be here presently.

CLINIA

When will that presently be?

CLITIPHO

You don’t consider that it is a great way fiom here.¹ Besides, you know the ways of women,

while they are bestirring themselves, and while they are making preparations a whole year passes by.

O Clitipho, I’m afraid—

CLITIPHO

Take courage. Look, here comes Dromo, together with Syrus: they are close at hand.
