WHere ever he shall be, I will take care to find out your PamphilusFor you, and bring him with me presently; onely my dear, do not vex your self.
P.
Mysis.
M.
What is the matter?
Ch.
Pamphilus, you meet me in very good time.
P.
What is the matter?
M.
My MistrissBade me intreat you, to come to her, if you love her. She saith she hath a desire to see you.
P.
[line 5] Alas, I am undone, this mischief begins afresh. That I, and she poor soulsShould be thus disquieted now by thy means? For I am therefore sent for, because she perceiveth that I am abont to be married. Which indeed how easily might it have passed quietly,If this fellow had been quiet?
D.
Go to, if he be not mad enough of himself, set him on.
M.
And truly that is the cause why the poor woman is in sorrow.
P.
[line 10] Mysis, I swear to you by all the Gods, that I will never for∣sake her, no not if I wistI should ma••e all men living my enemies. I have desired to have her, see it is fallen to my lot.Our dispositions are alike; let them be jogging that would make dis∣cord betwixt us.None but death shall part her from me.
Ch.
I begin to come to my self.
P.
Apollo's answer is notMore true than this I say, if it may be so carried, that my Father may not [line 15] Think, that I was a means to hinder the marriage, I am content; but if thatCannot be, I will go the readiest way to work, though he think I was the cause to hinder it.What a man do I seem to be?
I have it for this man, and not for thee: [line 20] Do not mistake your self.
Ch.
I have enough.
P.
What will you do? tell me.
D.
I am afraid this day willScarce be enough for me to do my business, Do not think I am now at leisure to tell you.And therefore get you away hence, for you do but hinder me.
P.
I will go see her.
D.
What do you? whither do you go, hence?
Ch.
Would you have me say the truth?
D,
Nay forsooth, he begins to tell me a tale of a tub.
Ch.
[line 25] What will become of me?
D.
Why you shameless fellow: have you not enough that I gave youA small dayes respite, in that I prolong the marriage for him?
Ch.
Yet for all this, Davus.
D.
What then.
Ch.
That I may marry her.
D.
You coxcomb.
Ch.
SeeYou come hither to me, if you can do any thing.
D.
What should I come for? I can do nothing.
Ch.
Nevertheless, if you can do any thing,
D.
Well, I will come.
Ch.
If you can do any thing I will be at home.
D.
[line 30] Mysis, do you tarry here a little, whilest I come forth again.
I Am ubi ubi erit, inventum tibi curabo, & mecum adductumTuum Pamphilum: tu modò, anime mi, noli te macerare.
P.
Mysis.
M.
Quid est? hem Pamphile, optumè mihi te offers.
P.
Quid est?
M.
OrareJussit, si se ames, heta, ut ad sese venias. Videre ait te cupere.
P.
[line 5] Vah, perii, hoc malum integrascit. Siccine me atque illam tuâ operâNunc miseros sollicitariet? Nam idcirco accersor, nuptias quia mihiApparari sensit.
Ch.
Quibus quidem quàm facilè poterat quiesci,Si hic qui êsset.
D.
Age, si hic non insanit satis suâ sponte, inst••ga.
M.
Atque aedipol ea res est, propterea{que} misera in maerore est.
P.
[line 10] Mysis Per omnes tibi adjuro deos, nunquam eam me desertu∣rum; non si capiundosMihi sciam esse inimicos omnes homines. Hanc mihi expetivi, con∣tigit,Conveniunt mores, valeant qui inter nos dissidium volunt.Hanc nisi mors mihi adimet nemo.
Ch.
Resipisco.
P.
Non Apol∣linisMagis verum atque hoc responsum est. Si poterit fieri ut ne pater pro me [line 15] Stetisse credat, quò minùs hae fierent nuptiae, volo; sed si id nonPoterit, id faciam in proclive quod est, per me stetisse ut credat.
