My head does itch so[*]. (Aside.) I’m a ruined man—I can scarce deny her.

PHILOXENUS

And has it not before this come into your mind, that if, while you live, you enjoy yourself,

that, i’ faith, is for no very long time; and that, if you lose the present day, it can never return to you after you are dead?

NICOBULUS

What am I to do?

PHILOXENUS

What are you to do? Do you even ask it?

NICOBULUS

I should like, and yet I’m afraid.

1st BACCHIS

What are you afraid of?

NICOBULUS

Lest I should be exposed before my son and my servant.

1st BACCHIS

Pray now, my honey; such things do happen. He’s your own son; whence do you suppose that he is to have money, except that only which you give him yourself? Let me obtain pardon of you for them both.

NICOBULUS
(aside.)

How she does work her way.

She’s now prevailing on me against that which I was quite resolved upon.

1st BACCHIS

I will love you, and embrace you.
