Scene V.

Manent Pythias and Dorias .

Pyth. As sure as I'm alive, this is a trick Of Parmeno's.

Dori. No doubt on't.

Pyth. I'll devise Some means to-day to fit him for't. - But now What would you have me do?

Dori. About the girl!

Pyth. Aye; shall I tell; or keep the matter secret?

Dori. Troth, if you're wise you know not what you know, Nor of the Eunuch, nor the ravishment: So shall you clear yourself of all this trouble, And do a kindness to our mistress too. Say nothing, but that Dorus is gone off.

Pyth. I'll do so.

Dori. Prithee is not Chremes yonder? Thais will soon be here.

Pyth. How so?

Dori. Because When I came thence, a quarrel was abroach Among them.

Pyth. Carry in the jewels, Dorias. Meanwhile I'll learn of Chremes what has happen'd.

Exit Dorias .
