The Argument or Plot of Hecyra, by Caius Sulpicius Apollinaris.

PAmphilius took Philumena to wife, Whom he before time defloured, not knowing who she was, And he had given her ring, which he had plucked off by force, To his sweet-heart Bacchis a very whore, [line 5] Afterwards he went a journey to Imbrus: he lay not with her after she was married: Her mother took her home to her self, being great with child, As if she were sicklie. Pamphilus returns, He finds there is a childe born; he conceals it, yet would not Take his wife again. The father layeth blame on his love 〈◊〉〈◊〉. With Bacchis: as Bacchis was clearing her self, Myrrhina The mother of the maid that was defloured, by chance owneth the ring: Pamphilus takes his wife again with a son.

Hecyrae Argumentum, Q. Sulpitio Appollinari Authore.

UXorem duxit Pamphilus Philumenam, Cui quondam ignorans virgini vitium obtulit, Ejusque per vim quem detraxerat annulum, Dederat amicae Bacchidi meretriculae. [line 5] Dein profectus in Imbrum est: nuptam haud attigit. Hanc mater utero gravidam, ne id sciat socrus, Ut aegram ad se transfert. Revertitur Pamphilus, Deprehendit partum: celat: uxorem tamen Recipere noluit. Pater incusat Bacchidis [line 10] Amorem: dum se purgat Bacchis, annulum Mater vitiatae fortè agnoscit Myrrhina. Uxorem recipit Pamphilus cum filio.
