Perde 1
[Textpart 4]
The very person I wanted to find.
ANTIPHO
Pray, tell me what news you bring, and dispatch it in one word, if you can.
GETA
Just now, at the harbor—
ANTIPHO
What, my father?—
PHAEDRIA
What is it you say?
GETA
That I have seen his father, your uncle.
ANTIPHO
How am I, wretch that I am, now to find a remedy for this sudden misfortune? But if it should be my fortune, Phanium, to be torn away from you, life would cease to be desirable.

GETA
Therefore, Antipho, since matters are thus, the more need have you to be on your guard; fortune helps the brave.
GETA
But just now it is especially necessary you should be so, Antipho;
for if your father perceives that you are alarmed, he will think that you have been guilty of some fault.
205
ANTIPHO
I can not change.
GETA
What would you do, if now something else still more difficult had to be done by you?
