Sim. I now put confidence in you.

Dav. You know me now, at last.

Sim. Those nuptials were

Only a feint.

Dav. Look now, I never could

Unfold that mystery. Ah, bah! What depth

Of cleverness.

Sim. Listen, I will tell all.

Now, when I bade you to go in the house,

Chremes I met outside.

Dav. [Aside.] Then we are lost.

Sim. I told him what you told me.

Dav. [Aside.] Bother it!

Sim. I asked him for his daughter, and he grants her.

Dav. I am knocked down.

Sim. Eh, what is that you said?

Dav. I am enchanted, quite.

Sim. No obstacles

Existing on his side.

Chr. And I will hence go home,

Get matters forwarded, and then return.

Sim. And Davus, since through you this happiness

Hath come to pass—

Dav. Yes, truly so, through me.

Sim. Try and control my son.

Dav. Ay, if I can.

Sim. Whilst that his soul is irritated—urge—

Dav. Depend on me.

Sim. Off then, where is he now?

Dav. Most probably at home.

Sim. I'll keep him there,

And tell him of these things now come to pass.
