Scene II

Enter Bacchis.

Bacch. Oh Parmeno, I’m glad I’ve met with you.

Run quick to Pamphilus.

Par. On what account?

Bacch. Tell him that I desire he’d come.

Par. To you?

Bacch. No; to Philumena.

Par. Why? what’s the matter?

Bacch. Nothing to you; so ask no questions.

Par. Must I

Say nothing else?

Bacch. Yes; tell him too,

That Myrrhina acknowledges the ring,

Which formerly he gave me, as her daughter’s.

Par. I understand you. But is that all?

Bacch. All.

He’ll come the moment that you tell him that.

What! do you loiter?

Par. No, i’ faith, not I.

I have not had it in my pow’r, I’ve been

So bandied to and fro, sent here and there,

Trotting, and running up and down all day.

Exit.
