Great Jupiter! O wicked and audacious fellow!
PYTHIAS
Woe unto me! Now at last will you believe that we have been insulted in a disgraceful manner?
PHAEDRIA
It is no wonder that you believe what the fellow says. (Aside.) What I’m to do I know not. (Aside to DORUS.) Hark you, deny it all again. (Aloud.) Can I not this day extract the truth from you? Did you really see my brother Chaerea?
DORUS
No.
PHAEDRIA
He can’t be brought to confess without being punished, I see: follow me this way. At one moment he affirms, at another denies. (Aside.) Ask pardon of me.
DORUS
Indeed, I do entreat you, Phaedria.
PHAEDRIA
(kicking him.)
Be off in-doors.
DORUS
Oh! oh!
PHAEDRIA
(aside.)
How in any other fashion to get decently out of this I don’t know; for really it’s all up with me. (Aloud, with pretended indignation.) Will you be trifling with me even here, you knave?
(Follows DORUS into the house.)
PYTHIAS
I’m as certain that this is the contrivance of Parmeno as that I’m alive.
DORIAS
So it is, no doubt.
PYTHIAS
I’faith, I’ll find out a method to-day to be even with him. But now, what do you think ought to be done, Dorias?
DORIAS
Do you mean with regard to this
girl?
PYTHIAS
Yes; whether I ought to mention it or be silent?
DORIAS
Upon my word, if you are prudent,[*] you won’t know what you do know, either about the Eunuch or the girl’s misfortune. By this method you’ll both rid yourself of all perplexity, and have done a service to her.[*] Say this only, that Dorus has run away.
PYTHIAS
I’ll do so.
DORIAS
But don’t I see Chremes? Thais will be here just now.
PYTHIAS
Why so?
DORIAS
Because when I came away from there, a quarrel had just commenced between them.
PYTHIAS
Take in these golden trinkets; I shall learn from him what’s the matter.
(DORIAS takes the casket into the house.)
726
(Enter CHREMES, somewhat drunk.)
CHREMES
Heyday! upon my faith, I’ve been bamboozled: the wine that I’ve drunk has got the upper hand. But, so long as I was reclining, how extremely sober I did seem to myself to be; when I got up, neither feet nor senses were quite equal to their duty.
PYTHIAS
Chremes!
CHREMES
(turning round.)
Who’s that? What, Pythias; dear me, how much more charming you now
seem to me than a short time since!
PYTHIAS
Troth now, you are much more merry, that’s certain.
CHREMES
Upon my faith, it is a true saying, that Venus grows cold without Ceres and Bacchus. But has Thais got here long before me?
PYTHIAS
Has she already come away from the Captain’s?
CHREMES
A long time ago; an age since. There has been a most violent quarrel between them.
PYTHIAS
Did she say nothing about you following her?
