(The SLAVES obey, and the GUESTS take their places.) To you, blooming one (addressing LEMNISELENE.) I give this blooming wreath. (Places a garland on her head.) You shall be our governess here.
Come, lad, commence these games from the top with a round of seven cups.
Bestir your hands; make haste. Paegnium, you are slow in giving me the cups; really, do give them. Heres luck to me, luck to you, luck to my mistress, luck to us all. This much wished-for day has been sent me by the Gods this day, inasmuch as I am allowed to embrace you a free woman.
(He drinks.)
LEMNISELENE
By your own agency it was effected.
(Giving him the cup.) This cup my hand presents to you, as it becomes a mistress to her love.
TOXILUS
Give it me.
