AESCHINUS. DEMEA. SYRƲS. GETA.
Aesch.
OCccidunt me quidem, dum nimis sanctas nuptias Student facere, in apparando totum consumunt diem.
D.
Quid agitur, Aeschine?
Aesc.
Ehem pater mi, tun' hîc eras?
D.
Tuus hercle verò, & animo, & naturâ, pater, [line 5] Qui te amat plùs quàm hosce oculos. Sed cur non do∣mum

Uxorem, quaeso, accersis?
Aesch.
Cupio: verùm hoc mihi morae est; Tibicina, & qui Hymenaeum cantent.
D.
Eho; vin'tu Huic seni auscultare?
Aesch.
Quid?
D.
Missa haec face. Turbam, Hymenaeum, lampadas, tibicinas, [line 10] Atque hanc in horto maceriam jube dirui, Quantum potest, hâc transfer, unam fac familiam; Traduce & matrem & familiam omnem ad nos.
Aesch.
Pla∣cet, Pater lepidissime.
D.
Euge, jam lepidus vocor. Fratris aedes fient perviae; turbam domum [line 15] Abducet, & sumptum admittet: multa; quid meâ? Ego lepidus ineo gratiam; jube nunc jam Dinumeret ille Babylo viginti minas. Syre, cessas ire ac facere?
Sy.
Quid ergo?
D.
Di∣rue Tu illas, abi, & traduce.
G.
Dii tibi, Demea, [line 20] Bene faxint, cum te video nostrae familiae Tam ex animo factum velle.
D.
Dignos arbitror. Tu quid ais?
Aesch.
Sic opinor.
D.
Multò rectius est, Quàm illam puerperam hâc nunc duci per viam Aegrotam.
Aesch.
Nihil melius vidi, pater mi. [line 25] Sic soleo. Sed Mitio egreditur foras.
