where I am, there I am not; where I am not, there my thoughts are; to such a degree have I now all kinds of feelings in me; what I like, then all at once I like not the same; so much does love trifle with me changing my mind,
drive me, pursue, desire, and seize for itself, retain, trepan, and promise; what it gives, it gives not; it deludes me; what this moment it has persuaded me, it now dissuades me from; what it has dissuaded me from, it now points out to me that same.
After the manner of the sea is it experienced by me; so much does it distract my enamoured feelings; and only in that, in my misery, I do not sink utterly, is there any evil removed from me thus ruined;
in such a way has my father detained me these six days running in the country, at his house there; nor has it been allowed me in the meantime to visit my mistress. Isn’t this dreadful to relate?
[*]
MELAENIS
Are you joking for this reason, because you’ve got another wife engaged, a rich lady of Lemnos? Have her then! We are neither of a family so great as you are, nor is our wealth so substantial as yours; but still
I have no fears that any one will impeach our oath; you then, if you shall feel any pain, will know for what reason you do feel pain.
ALCESIMARCHUS
May the Gods confound me—
MELAENIS
Whatever you wish for, I desire it may befall you.
ALCESIMARCHUS
If ever I’ll marry that wife which my father has engaged for me.
MELAENIS
And me, if ever I give you my daughter for a wife.
