Make trial of me but once.

MELAENIS

I have made that trial full oft; which I lament has been so made.

ALCESIMARCHUS

Give her back to me.

MELAENIS

Under new circumstances I’ll use an old proverb: What I have given, I wish I had not given; what’s left, that I shall not give.

ALCESIMARCHUS

Won’t you restore her again to me?

MELAENIS

Answer yourself for me.

ALCESIMARCHUS

You won’t restore her then?

MELAENIS

You know the whole of my resolution already.

ALCESIMARCHUS

Is that quite resolved upon by you in your heart?

MELAENIS

Why, in fact, I’m thinking about something else;

i’ faith, I don’t at present catch these words of yours with my ears.

ALCESIMARCHUS

Not hear? Why, what are you doing?

MELAENIS

[*]Then do you give heed at once, that you may know what you are doing.

ALCESIMARCHUS

Then, so may the Gods and Goddesses of above and below, and of middle rank[*], and so may Juno the queen and the daughter[*] of supreme Jove, and so may Saturn his uncle—

MELAENIS

I’ troth, his father—

ALCESIMARCHUS

And so may Ops the opulent, his grandam—
