SCENE VI.

SIMO, PAMPHILUS.

_Simo._ Why do you not immediately give orders for her removal to our house[209]?

_Pam._ That is well thought of, Sir, I’ll intrust that affair to Davus.

_Simo._ He can’t attend to it.

_Pam._ Why not?

_Simo._ Because [210]he is now carrying on things of great weight, and which touch him more nearly.

_Pam._ What are they?

_Simo._ He is chained.

_Pam._ Ah! dear Sir, that was not well done.

_Simo._ I am sure[211] I ordered it to be well done.

_Pam._ Order him to be set at liberty, my father, I entreat you.

_Simo._ Well, well, I will.

_Pam._ But, pray, let it be done directly.

_Simo._ I will go in, and order him to be released.

[_Exit Simo._

_Pam._ Oh what a joyous happy day is this to me!
