Scene X.

Henry T. (Henry Thomas) Riley translation

Demea alone.

Dem. O Jupiter! here’s a life! here are manners! here’s madness! A wife to be coming without a fortune! A music-wench in the house! A house full of wastefulness! A young man ruined by extravagance! An old man in his dotage!—Should Salvation herself82 desire it, she certainly could not save this family.

Exit.
