Because you think it right that I should be the prompter of your memory.
PERIPHIANES
You speak to the purpose.
PHILIPPA
You say what’s strange to me, Periphanes.
PERIPHIANES
Ah now! that’s better.
Do you remember, Philippa—
PHILIPPA
Yes, I remember that.
PERIPHIANES
At Epidaurus—
PHILIPPA
Ah! you have moistened my burning breast with a little drop of comfort.
PERIPHIANES
How I relieved the poverty of you, a poor young maiden, and your mother?
PHILIPPA
What, are you he who for your own gratification brought heavy troubles upon me?
PERIPHIANES
I am he. Health to you.
PHILIPPA
I am in health, since I see you in health.
PERIPHIANES
Give me your hand.
PHILIPPA
(extending her hand, which he takes.)
Take it—you hold by the hand a woman distrest and full of woes.
PERIPHIANES
What is it that disturbs your features?
PHILIPPA
The daughter whom I had by you—
PERIPHIANES
What of her?
PHILIPPA
When I had brought her up, I lost her; she fell into the hands of the enemy.
PERIPHIANES
Keep your mind in quiet and at rest. Why look, she’s here at my house safe and sound. For immediately I heard from my servant that she was a captive, instantly I gave the money for her to be purchased;
he managed this affair as discreetly and frugally as in other matters he is egregiously—dishonest.
PHILIPPA
Let me see her, whether it is she or no.
PERIPHIANES
(going to the door of his house.)
Hallo there! you—Canthara, this instant bid my daughter[*] come out before the house, that she may see her mother.
PHILIPPA
My spirits now at last return to me.
570
(Enter ACROPOLISTIS from the house.)
ACROPOLISTIS
Why is it, father, that you have called me out before the house?
PERIPHIANES
That you may see and accost your mother, and wish her health on her arrival, and give her kisses.
ACROPOLISTIS
(looking about.)
What mother of mine?
PERIPHIANES
(pointing to PHILIPPA.)
She who, half dead, is following your gaze.
PHILIPPA
Who is this that you are requesting to kiss me?
PERIPHIANES
Your own daughter.
PHILIPPA
What, she?
