Act 4 — Scene IV.

Scene IV.

Davus, Charinus, Mysis.

Davus. (to Charinus.) And you, Sir, where are you going?

Char. Shall I tell you the truth?

Davus. Oh! by all means. Now for a long story. (aside.)

Char. What will become of me?

Davus. Heyday! modest enough this, i’faith! is it not sufficient that I give you a respite by putting off the marriage?

Char. Yet, Davus——

Davus. What now?

Char. Could I but wed her!

Davus. Absurd.

Char. If you can assist me, let me see you soon.

Davus. Why should I come, I can do nothing?

Char. Yet, if you should be able——

Davus. Well, then I will come.

Char. If you want me, I shall be at home.
