Perde 5
[Textpart 2]
I will cause it.
CHARINUS
That means a long time for one in love.
EUTYCHUS
Are you still in apprehension? I’ll disclose it all. No person is there living more beloved by me than is he who has got her; nor is there one to whom it is right that I should be a better wisher.
CHARINUS
I don’t care about that; I’m looking for her.
EUTYCHUS
About her, then, I’m telling you.
Really, this has not come into my mind but this moment, to tell it you—
900
CHARINUS
Tell me, then, where she is.
CHARINUS
If you are telling the truth, a worthy house, and aptly built, I deem it. But how am I to credit that? Have you seen her; or do you speak from hearsay?
EUTYCHUS
I’ve seen her myself.
CHARINUS
Who took her to your house?
EUTYCHUS
Why, you’re asking an unfair question.
What matters it to you with whom she came?
CHARINUS
So long as she’s there—
EUTYCHUS
She certainly is.
CHARINUS
Then, for these tidings, do you wish whatever you please.
EUTYCHUS
What if I do wish?
CHARINUS
Pray to the Gods to bring its fulfilment.
EUTYCHUS
You are laughing at me.
CHARINUS
My fortunes, in fine, are redeemed, if I can see her.
