SCENE VIII.

George Colman translation

Chremes alone.

My daughter now has had ten minæ of me,

Which I account laid out upon her board:

Ten more her clothes will come to: and moreover

Two talents for her portion.——How unjust

And absolute is custom! I must now

Leave every thing, and find a stranger out,

On whom I may bestow the sum of wealth

Which I have so much labor’d to acquire.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
