Act IV. Scene 5.

Chremes, Pythias.

Ch.

ALas, in good truth, I am beguiled. The wine that I have drunk hath over-mastered me. And while I sate at the table, how fine and sober I did think my self to be? Since I have risen, neither my feet, nor my wit, do as they should do.

Py.

Chremes.

Ch.

Oh, Pythias. O how much fairer now [line 5] Do you seem to me to be, then you did er••while?

P.

Truly, you are far more cheerful.

Ch.

Certoinly this is a true saying, Without meat and drink lust groweth cold. But Thais came long before.

Py.

Is she Gone from the souldiers already?

Ch.

Long ago, an age since, there was A great contention betwixt them.

Py.

Did she say nothing then that you should follow her?

Ch.

[line 10] Nothing, but as she went away she beckned to me.

Py.

Why, was not that enough?

Ch.

But I did not know that she meant that, but the souldier righted me, which I did not well understand, for he thrust me out of doors; But 〈◊〉〈◊〉 I see her: I wonder where I got before her.

Act. IV. Scena 5.

Chremes, Pythias.

Ch.

AT at, data hercle verba mihi sunt. Vicit me vinum quod bibi; Ac dum accubabam, quam videbar mihi esse pulchrè sobrius? Postquam surrexi, ne{que} pes ne{que} mens satis suum officium facit.

Py.

Chreme.

Ch.

Ehem Pythia, vah quanto nunc formosior [line 5] Videre mihi, quam dudum?

P.

Certè quidem tu pol multò ala∣crior.

Ch.

Verbum hercle hoc verum est, Sine Cerere Et Libero friget Venus. Sed Thais multò antè venit.

Py.

Anne Abiit jam a milite?

Ch.

Jamdudum, aetatem. Lites factae sunt Inter eos maxumae.

Py.

Nihil dixit tum ut sequerêre sese?

Ch.

[line 10] Nihil nisi abiens mihi innuit.

Py.

Eho, nonne id sat erat?

Ch.

At nesciebam id dicere illam, nisi quia correxit miles; quod Intellexi minus: nam me extrusit forás. Sed eccam ipsam video: miror ubi ego huic antevorterim.
