I trust in the Gods and in yourself.

LAMPADISCUS

And I in the same.—that you’ll now go home.

(PHANOSTRATA goes into her house.)

MELAENIS(coming forward.)

Young man, stay and listen.

LAMPADISCUS

What, are you calling to me, woman?

MELAENIS

To you.

LAMPADISCUS

What’s the matter? For I’m fully engaged.

MELAENIS(Pointing to the house of DEMIPHO.)

Who lives there?

LAMPADISCUS

Demipho, my master.

MELAENIS

It is he, I suppose, that has betrothed his daughter with such great wealth to Alcesimarchus?

LAMPADISCUS

It is he himself.

MELAENIS

How now, you? What other daughter, then, are you people now in search of?

LAMPADISCUS

I’ll tell you; not his daughter by his wife, but his wife’s daughter.

MELAENIS

What’s the meaning of that speech?

LAMPADISCUS

By a former woman, I say, my master had a daughter born.

MELAENIS

Surely, just now you said you were in search of the daughter of her who has been talking here.

LAMPADISCUS

Her daughter I am in search of.
