Act. IV. Scene 1.
Dorias.
D.
I Swear, as far forth as I see by the souldier, I poor woman
Do somewhat fear, lest that mad fellow should make any bustle to day,
Or offer violence to Thais. For after Chremes the yong man
The maids brother came, she intreated the souldier to give order
[line 5] That he might be let in; he was presently angry, and yet durst not say nay:
Moreover Thais was urgent upon him to invite the man; that she did
To stay Chremes there, because she had had no time for that matter
Which she desired to tell him concerning his sister. He inviteth him with a heavie heart,
He tarried there, she begins to talk with him. Now the Souldier thought
[line 10] That a copesmate was brought him before his eyes; and therefore
He endeavoured to do what he could to cross her. Ho boy, saith he, call me Pamphila,
That she may make us m••rry here. Shee cryeth out, By no means
Admit her to the banquet: The souldier fell from that to chiding.
In the mean time the woman strips her self of her gold, and gives it me to carry away.
[line 15] This is a sign, I know, she will get her self away thense, as soon as she can.
