SCENE IV.
George Colman translation
Enter Pythias.
Pyth. Oh, sweet, charming, Sir!
Chre. A coaxing hussy!
Pyth. Thais begs and prays
You’d come again to-morrow.
Chre. I am going
Into the country.
Pyth. Nay, now prithee come?
Chre. I can’t, I tell you.
Pyth. Walk in, then, and stay
Till she returns herself.
Chre. Not I.
Pyth. And why,
Dear Chremes?
Chre. Off, you saucy slut!
Chre. Go, and hang yourself!
Pyth. Well, Sir,
Since you’re so positive, shall I entreat you
To go to her?
Chre. I will.
Pyth. Here, Dorias! (A maid-servant enters.)
Conduct this gentleman to Captain Thraso’s.
Pythias re-enters.—Chremes goes out another way with Dorias.
