829 (CHREMES. CLITIPHO. SYRUS.)

CHREMES

Ubi Clitipho nunc est?

SYRUS

Eccum me, inque.

CLITIPHO

Eccum hic tibi.

CHREMES

Quid rei esset dixti huic?
830

SYRUS

Dixi pleraque omnia.

CHREMES

Cape hoc argentum ac defer.

SYRUS

Hei, quid stas? lapis?

Quin accipis?

CLITIPHO

Cedo sane.

SYRUS

Sequere hac me ocius.

Tu hic nos dum eximus interea opperibere;

Nam nihil est illic quod moremur diutius.

CHREMES

Minas quidem iam decem habet a me filia,
835

Quas pro alimentis esse nunc duco datas:

Hasce ornamentis consequentur alterae.

Porro haec talenta dotis adposcent duo.

Quam multa iniusta ac prava fiunt moribus!

Mihi nunc, relictis rebus, inveniendus est
840

Aliquis labore inventa mea cui dem bona.

829 (Enter CHREMES from the house, with a bag of money.)

CHREMES

Where’s Clitipho now?

SYRUS

(aside to CLITIPHO.)

Say—here I am.

CLITIPHO

Here am I.

CHREMES

(to SYRUS.)

Have you told him how it is?
830

SYRUS

I’ve told him pretty well every thing.

CHREMES

Take this money, and carry it.

(Holding out the bag.)

SYRUS

(aside to CLITIPHO.)

Go—why do you stand still, you stone; why don’t you take it?

CLITIPHO

Very well, give it me.

(Receives the bag.)

SYRUS

(to CLITIPHO.)

Follow me this way directly. (To CHREMES.) You in the mean while will wait here for us till we return; for there’s no occasion for us to stay there long.

(CLITIPHO and SYRUS go into the house of MENEDEMUS.)

CHREMES

(to himself.)

My daughter, in fact, has now had ten minae from me, which I consider as paid for her board; another ten will follow these for clothes; and then she will require two talents for her portion. How many things, both just and unjust, are sanctioned by custom!¹
835

Now I’m obliged, neglecting my business, to look out for some one on whom to bestow my property, that has been acquired by my labor.
