SCENE VI.

SIMO, DAVUS.

_Simo._ Now, I entreat you, Davus, since you have brought about the marriage entirely by yourself――――

_Davus._ (_aside._) Yes, I have the credit of it entirely to myself. O! curse my unlucky stars.

_Simo._――――to use all your influence with Pamphilus to induce him to give up his present connexion with Glycera.

_Davus._ I’ll do all in my power, Sir.

_Simo._ You will find less difficulty now, while he is angry with his mistress.

_Davus._ Be at ease, Sir, and rely on me.

_Simo._ About it then at once: but where is my son now?

_Davus._ I should not wonder if he were at home.

_Simo._ I will go and tell him what I have just told you.
