D.
True indeed: But I know what hath befallen my self.
P.
And so do I too.
D.
The fashion of the world goeth, that you should first know what harm I have got, [line 5] 5. Then I know what good hath befallen you.
P.
My Glycerie hath found Her Father and Mother.

That is well.

Her Father is An especial friend of ours.
D.
Who is that?
P.
Chremes.
D.
You say well.
P.
and there is no delay, but I must marry her.
Ch.
Doth he dream On those things which his mind ran upon when he was awake?
P.
And as for the child, Dâvus.
D.
Tush, say no more. [line 10] He is the onely child whom the Gods love.
Ch.
I am well, if these things be true; I will go to him, and speak with him.
P.
What man is this? O Charinus, you come In the very nick of time.
Ch.
It is well done.
P.
What, have you heard the matter?
Ch.
I have heard all; well, think of me in your prosperity. Now Chremes is yours, I know he will do all things that you would have him do.
P.
I know it: [line 15] But it would be too long for us to tarry for him till he come forth; follow me this way. He is within with Glycerie. Do you Davus go quickly home, Fetch some body to lead her away hence: why do you stand still? why do you loyter?
D.
I am going. Do not ye tarry till they come out hither; she will be married within: It will be dispatched within doors, if there be any thing remaining to be done. Clap your hands.
