Act 5 — Scene VI.
W. R. Goodluck translation
Scene VI.
Simo, Pamphilus.
Simo. Why do you not immediately give orders for her removal to our house[209]?
Pam. That is well thought of, Sir, I’ll intrust that affair to Davus.
Simo. He can’t attend to it.
Pam. Why not?
Simo. Because [210]he is now carrying on things of great weight, and which touch him more nearly.
Pam. What are they?
Simo. He is chained.
Pam. Ah! dear Sir, that was not well done.
Simo. I am sure[211] I ordered it to be well done.
Pam. Order him to be set at liberty, my father, I entreat you.
Simo. Well, well, I will.
Pam. But, pray, let it be done directly.
Simo. I will go in, and order him to be released.
[Exit Simo.
Pam. Oh what a joyous happy day is this to me!
