I pray that your son may be lightened of these fetters, and this slave be loaded with them.
HEGIO
I’m resolved that that shall be the first thing attended to. Let’s go in-doors, that the blacksmith may be sent for, in order that I may remove those fetters from you, and give them to him. (They go into the house.)
STALAGMUS
To one who has no savings of his own, you’ll be rightly doing so[*].
COMPANY of PLAYERS(coming forward.)
Spectators, this play is founded on chaste manners.
No wenching is there in this, and no intriguing, no exposure of a child, no cheating out of money; and no young man in love here make his mistress free without his father’s knowledge. The Poets find but few Comedies[*] of this kind, where good men might become better. Now, if it pleases you,
and if we have pleased you, and have not been tedious, do you give this sign of it: you who wish that chaste manners should have their reward, give us your applause.
