It’s a wonder if he doesn’t mean her who has just now been made a present of to Thais here.
CHAEREA
When I got here, she was nowhere to be seen.
PARMENO
Some attendants, I suppose, were accompanying the girl?
CHAEREA
Yes; a Parasite, and a female servant.
PARMENO
(apart.)
It’s the very same. (To CHAEREA.) It’s all over with you; make an end of it; you’ve said your last.[*]
CHAEREA
You are thinking about something else.
PARMENO
Indeed I’m thinking of this same matter.
CHAEREA
Pray, tell me, do you know her, or did you see her?
PARMENO
I did see, and I do know her, I am aware to what house she has been taken.
CHAEREA
What, my dear Parmeno, do you know her,
and are you aware where she is?
PARMENO
She has been brought here (pointing) to the house of Thais the Courtesan.[*] She has been made a present to her.
CHAEREA
What opulent person is it, to be presenting a gift so precious as this?
PARMENO
The Captain Thraso, Phaedria’s rival.
CHAEREA
An unpleasant business for my brother, it should seem.
PARMENO
Aye, and if you did but know what present he is pitting against this present, you would say so still more.
CHAEREA
Troth now, what is it, pray?
PARMENO
A Eunuch.[*]
CHAEREA
What! that unsightly creature, pray, that he purchased yesterday, an old woman?
PARMENO
That very same.
CHAEREA
To a certainty, the gentleman will be bundled out of doors, together with his present; but I wasn’t aware that this Thais is our neighbor.
PARMENO
It isn’t long since she came.
CHAEREA
Unhappy wretch that I am! never to have seen her, even. Come now, just tell me,
is she as handsome as she is reported to be?[*]
PARMENO
Quite.
CHAEREA
But nothing in comparison with this damsel of mine?
PARMENO
Another thing altogether.
CHAEREA
Troth now, Parmeno, prithee do contrive for me to gain possession of her.
PARMENO
I’ll do my best, and use all my endeavors; I’ll lend you my assistance. (Going.) Do you want any thing else with me?
CHAEREA
Where are you going now?
