SCENE, ATHENS.
ACT THE FIRST.
SIMO. Carry those things in: go! You have, you know, Prescrib'd a term to all these things yourself. The time is near at hand, when I must live According to the humor of another. Meanwhile, permit me now to please my own!"
SOSIA. What cause remains to chide him then?
SIMO. If he Refuses, on account of this amour, To take a wife, such obstinate denial Must be considered as his first offense. Wherefore I now, from this mock-nuptial, Endeavor to draw real cause to chide: And that same rascal Davus, if he's plotting, That he may let his counsel run to waste, Now, when his knaveries can do no harm: Who, I believe, with all his might and main Will strive to cross my purposes; and that More to plague me, than to oblige my son.
SOSIA. Why so?
SIMO. Why so! Bad mind, bad heart: But if I catch him at his tricks!--But what need words? --If, as I wish it may, it should appear That Pamphilus objects not to the match, Chremes remains to be prevail'd upon, And will, I hope, consent. 'Tis now your place To counterfeit these nuptials cunningly; To frighten Davus; and observe my son, What he's about, what plots they hatch together.
SOSIA. Enough; I'll take due care. Let's now go in!
DAVUS. . I thought 'twere wonderful If this affair went off so easily; And dreaded where my master's great good-humor Would end at last: who, after he perceiv'd The Lady was refus'd, ne'er said a word To any of us, nor e'er took it ill.
SIMO. . But now he will; to your cost too, I warrant you!
