Actus V. Scen. 3.
Pamphilus, Simo, Chremes.
P.
QUis me vult? perii, pater est.
S.
Quid ais, omnium?
Ch.
Ah, Rem potius ipsam dic; ac mitte malè loqui.
S.
Quasi quicquam in hunc gravius dici possit. Ain' tandem, civis Glycerium est?
P.
Ita praedicant.
D.
[line 5] Ita praedicant, ò ingentem confidentiam! Num cogitat, quid dicat? num facti piget? Vide num ejus color pudoris signum usquam indicat? Adeon' impotenti esse animo, ut praeter civium Morem at{que} legem, & sui voluntatem patris, [line 10] Tamen hanc habere cupiat cum summo probro?
P.
Me miserum!
S.
Hem: modóne id demum sensistj, Pamphile? Olim istuc olim cùm ita animum induxisti tuum, Quod cuperes aliquo pacto efficiundum tibi; Eodem die istuc verbum vere in te accidit. [line 15] Sed quid ago? cur me excrucio? cur me macero? Cur meam senectam hujus solicito amentiâ? An ut pro hujus peccatis ego supplicium sufferam? Immò habeat; valeat; vivat cum illâ.
P.
Mi pater?
S.
Quid, mi pater? quasi tu hujus indige as patris. [line 20]

Demus, uxor, liberi inventi, invito patre. Adducti qui illam civem hinc dicant: viceris.
P.
Pater, licétne pauca?
S.
Quid dices mihi?
Ch.
Tamèn, Simo, audi.
S.
Ego audiam? Quid ego audiam, Chreme?
Ch.
Attamen, dicat, fine.
S.
Age, dicat, sino.
P.
[line 25] Ego me amare hanc fateor; si id peccare est, fateor id quoque; Tibi, pater, me dedo; quidvis oneris impende, impera. Visne uxorem ducere, hanc vis amittere? ut potero, feram: Hoc modò te obsecro, ut ne credas à me allegatum hunc senem. Sine me expurgem, atque illum huc coràm adducam.
S.
Addu∣cas?
P.
[line 30] Sine, pater.
Ch.
Aequum postulat, da veniam.
P.
Sine te exorem.
S.
Sino. Quidvis cupio, dum ne ab hoc me falli comperiam, Chreme.
Ch.
Pro peccato magno paululum supplicii satis est patri.
