Friend, you have undone me. And ought I not to punish this woman with death? I should prefer that I should perish after some dreadful fashion.

Isn’t it the fact, you know not whom to deem faithful to yourself, or in whom to put your trust?

LYDUS

Don’t you see how much he grieves that your son, his friend, has been corrupted? and how he is afflicting himself with sorrow?

PHILOXENUS

Mnesilochus, I beg this of you, that you will influence his feelings and his disposition.

Preserve for yourself a friend as well as a son for me.

MNESILOCHUS

I fain would do so.

LYDUS
(to PHILOXENUS.)

Much better, too, would you leave me here together with him.

PHILOXENUS

Mnesilochus has cares,

more than enough.

LYDUS

Rate the man soundly,[*] who disgraces me, yourself his friend, and others, by his excesses.

PHILOXENUS
(to MNESILOCHUS.)

Upon you do I impose all this responsibility. Lydus, follow me this way.

LYDUS

I follow you.
