Perde 2
[Textpart 3]

MELAENIS
Now, then, be off at once whither you were hastening; I won’t detain you; I understand it now.
LAMPADISCUS
I’ troth, to the Deities I do give thanks;
for if you hadn’t understood me, I do think you would never have let me go.

MELAENIS
Now it’s necessary for me to be honest, whether I will or no, although I had rather not; I find the thing is discovered. Now will I myself lay them under an obligation to me, rather than she shall peach upon me. I’ll go home,
and I’ll bring Silenium to her parents.
