Act. IV. Scen. III.

LACHES. SOSTRATA PAM∣PHILUS.

La.

I Have heard, wife, what talk you had with him, as I stood aloof off from hence. This is wisdome, how you may be able to turn your minde, wheresoever there is need; If you now shall do that same thing, which you must perhaps do af∣terwards.

So.

God speed us well.

Lach.

Go into the countrie then, there I will bear with you, and you with me.

So.

[line 5] I hope so indeed.

Lach.

Go in then, and pack up, what you are to carrie with you. I have told you.

So.

I will do as you bid me.

Pam.

Father.

Lach.

What would you have, Pamphilus?

P.

That my mother go hence? by no means.

Lach.

Why would you have that so?

P.

Because I am yet unresolved what to do coucerning my wife.

Lach.

What is the matter? What will you do, but bring her back?

Pam.

Trulie I desire it, and can scarcelie be withheld, [line 10] But I will not a whit alter my resolution; I will prosecute that which is for my turn. I believe for that reason they will better agree, if I do not bring her back again.

Lach.

You know not, you cannot; but it makes no matter to you, whether they do it or no. When she shall be gone: this age is lothsome to young folks: It is but reason we depart into an other world. Lastly, we are now be∣come a tale, [line 15] Pamphilus, an old man, and an old woman. But I see Phidip∣pus to come forth In good time. Let us go to him.

LACHES. SOSTRATA. PAM∣PHILUS.

La.

QUem cum istoc sermonem habueris, procul hinc stans accepi, uxor. Istuc est sapere, qui, ubicunque opus sit, animum possis flectere; Quod faciendum post fortasse, idem hoc nunc si fece∣ris.

So.

[line 5] Spero ecastor.

Lach.

I ergo intrò, & compone, quae tecum simul ferantur: Dixi.

So.

Ita ut jubes faciam.

P.

Pater.

La.

Quid vis, Pam∣phile?

P.

Hinc abire mattem? minime.

Lach.

Quid ita istuc vis?

P.

Quia de uxore incertus etiam quid 〈◊〉〈◊〉 facturus.

La.

Quid est? Quid vis facere, nisi reducere?

P.

Equidem cupio, & vix conti∣neor. [line 10] Sed non minuam meum consilium; ex usu quod est, id pro∣sequar. Credo eâ gratiâ, magis concordes, si non reducam, fore.

Lach.

Nescias, nequeas; verùm id tuâ refert nihil, utrum illae fecerint. Quando haec abierit: odiosa haec ae••as est adolescentulis. E medio aequmn excedere est. Postremò, nos jam fabu••ae sumus, [line 15] Pamphile, senex atque anus. Sed video Phidippum egredi Per tempus. Accedamus.
