Why should I come? I can do nothing for you.
CHARINUS
But still, if any thing—
DAVUS
Well, well, I’ll come.
CHARINUS
If you can; I shall be at home.
(Exit.)
DAVUS
Do you, Mysis, remain here a little while, until I come out.
MYSIS
For what reason?
DAVUS
There’s a necessity for so doing.
MYSIS
Make haste.
DAVUS
I’ll be here this moment, I tell you.
(He goes into the house of GLYCERIUM.)
716
MYSIS
(to herself.)
That nothing can be secure to any one! Ye Gods, by our trust in you! I used to make sure that this Pamphilus was a supreme blessing for my mistress; a friend, a protector, a husband secured under every circumstance; yet what anguish is she, poor thing, now suffering through him?
Clearly there’s more trouble for her now than there was happiness formerly. But Davus is coming out. (Enter DAVUS from the house of GLYCERIUM with the child.) My good sir, prithee, what is that? Whither are you carrying the child?
DAVUS
Mysis, I now stand in need of your cunning being brought into play in this matter, and of your address.
MYSIS
Why, what are you going to do?
DAVUS
(holding out the child.)
Take it from me directly, and lay it down before our door.
MYSIS
Prithee, on the ground?
DAVUS
(pointing.)
Take some sacred herbs [*] from the altar here, [*] and strew them under it.
MYSIS
Why don’t you do it yourself?
DAVUS
That if perchance I should have to swear to my master that I did not place it there, I may be enabled to do so with a clear conscience.
MYSIS
I understand;
have these new scruples only just now occurred to you, pray?
DAVUS
Bestir yourself quickly, that you may learn what I’m going to do next. (MYSIS lays the child at SIMO’s door.) Oh Jupiter!
MYSIS
(starting up.)
What’s the matter?
DAVUS
The father of the intended bride is coming in the middle of it all. The plan which I had first purposed I now give up. [*]
MYSIS
I don’t understand what you are talking about.
DAVUS
I’ll pretend too that I’ve come in this direction from the right. Do you take care to help out
the conversation by your words, whenever there’s necessity. [*]
MYSIS
I don’t at all comprehend what you are about; but if there’s any thing in which you have need of my assistance, as you understand the best, I’ll stay, that I mayn’t in any way impede your success. (DAVUS retires out of sight.)
740
(Enter CHREMES on the other side of the stage, going toward the house of SIMO.)
CHREMES
(to himself.)
After having provided the things necessary for my daughter’s nuptials, I’m returning, that I may request her to be sent for. (Seeing the child.) But what’s this? I’faith, it’s a child. (Addressing MYSIS.) Woman, have you laid that here (pointing to the child.)?
MYSIS
(aside, looking out for DAVUS.)
Where is he?
CHREMES
Don’t you answer me?
