Chapter 49

_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. 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._)

[Changes:

_Harper_ CHRE. Go, and hang yourself! _Colman 1768_ CHRE. Off, you saucy slut!]
