883 (SYRUS. DEMEA.)

SYRUS

Heus, Demea, rogat frater ne abeas longius.

DEMEA

Quis homo? O Syre noster salve: quid fit? quid agitur?

SYRUS

Recte.
885

DEMEA

Optime est. Iam nunc haec tria primum addidi

Praeter naturam: O noster! quid fit? quid agitur?

Servum haud illiberalem praebes te; et tibi

Libens bene faxim.

SYRUS

Gratiam habeo.

DEMEA

Atqui, Syre,

Hoc verum est; et ipsa re experiere propediem.

883
(Enter SYRUS.)

SYRUS

Hark you, Demea, your brother begs you will not go out of the way.

DEMEA

Who is it?—O Syrus, my friend,¹ save you! how are you? How goes it with you?

SYRUS

Very well.
885

DEMEA

Very good. (Aside.) I have now for the first time used these three expressions contrary to my nature,— O Syrus, my friend, how are you?—how goes it with you? (To SYRUS.) You show yourself far from an unworthy servant, and I shall gladly do you a service.

I thank you.

DEMEA

Yes, Syrus, it is the truth; and you shall be convinced of it by experience before long.
