Perde 4
[Textpart 6]
Well, I’m not angry then. But do you know where Bacchis is just now?
820
SYRUS
Be of good heart; you shall presently carry to her the money that you promised her.
CLITIPHO
You do prate away.—Where from?
SYRUS
From your own father.
CLITIPHO
Perhaps you are joking with me.
SYRUS
The thing itself will prove it.
CLITIPHO
Indeed, then, I am a lucky man. Syrus, I do love you from my heart.
825
SYRUS
But your father’s coming out. Take care not to express surprise at any thing, for what reason it is done; give way at the proper moment; do what he orders, and say but little.
[Textpart 7]
Where’s Clitipho now?
CHREMES
Have you told him how it is?
830
SYRUS
I’ve told him pretty well every thing.
830
CHREMES
Take this money, and carry it.
SYRUS
Go—why do you stand still, you stone; why don’t you take it?
