Act 2 — Scene IV.
W. R. Goodluck translation
Scene V.
Davus, Pamphilus, Simo.
Simo. [to himself.] I am come back again, to see what they are about; or what course they resolve upon.
Davus. He is fully persuaded that you will refuse to marry, and has been ruminating by himself in some corner, where he has prepared an harangue with which he expects to embarrass you: therefore take care to be on your guard.
Pam. I will, Davus, if I can.
Davus. Do but tell him that you are ready to marry in obedience to his wishes, and you’ll strike the old gentleman dumb: he’ll not mention the subject again, I’ll answer for it.
