Act 1 — SCENE V.——TIMOCLES, CLITIDAS.
Charles Heron Wall translation
Tim. My rival pays his court to Clitidas; but Clitidas knows that he has promised to help me in my love against him.
Cli. Certainly. How very absurd to think of carrying the day against you. A fine gentleman, indeed, to be compared with you!
Tim. There is nothing I could not do for Clitidas.
Cli. (alone). Plenty of fine words on all sides! But here is the princess; we will take our opportunity to speak to her.
