cease to pray me, any one of these respects, shall cause me to do it: as either for your own sake, or for that the matter is truth, or in respect that I wish well to Glycerie. What, is it Crito of Andros that I do see? Truly it is he indeed. Welcome Crito: what make you at Athens, being here such a stranger? It is so fallen out. But is this Simo? This same is he. What, is it for me thou askest? why sirrah, dost thou say that Glycerie is free borne of this City? Dost thou deny it? What, and art thou come so well provided indeed. Why so? Askest thou why? shalt thou do this, and scape unpunished? dost thou toll here into thy snare, young men void of experience, and honestly brought up? Art thou he that feedest forth their minds with enticing & fair promising? Abide, art thou well in thy wits? And dost thou make marriages betwixt them and the harlots that they are in love withal? Alas I am undone, I fear me the stranger will have never a word to say. Simo, if you knew this man thoroughly, you would not think so of him: this is an honest man. May this fellow be an honest man? comes he this day so jump in the very time of this marriage: and could he come never before now? why Chremes, is this a man to be believed? Were I not afeard of my father, I could tell him that which would satisfy him in this point well enough. Hah fogging knave. What? O Crito bear with him, this is his fashion. Nay let him consider what he is: As for me, if he proceed to call me at his pleasure, he shall hear that, that shall be little to his liking. do I let that same marriage? or do I ought at all pass for it? * Thou dost not bear thy grief patiently: for as touching what I spoke, whether it be true or false that you heard, may soon be known. A certain man of Athens, a good while since, suffering Shipwreck, was cast on shore at Andros, together with that same Glycerie, as than a little child. This man being then in need & necessity: by chance first arrived at the house of Chrysis father. Now he begins a fable. Suffer him to go on. What, even so indeed? he interrupts me. Go on with your tale. Moreover, he which received him into his house, was my cousin: there did I hear the man himself say, that he was of Athens: and in that house he died. What was his name? would you know his name so quickly? Phania. Out alas today. In good sooth, I take it, his name was Phania. This I am well assured of, that he said he was a * Rhamnusian. O the King of heaven.

CEas to pray me, any one of theſe reſpects, ſhall cauſe mée to doo it: as either for your owne ſake, or for that the matter is truth, or in reſpect that I wiſh well to Glycerie. What, is it Crito of Andros that I doo ſée? Truly it is hée indéede. Welcome Crito: what make you at Athens, being here ſuch a ſtranger? It is ſo fallen out. But is this Simo? This ſame is hée. What, is it for mée thou aſkeſt? why ſirra, doſt thou ſay that Glycerie is frée borne of this Citie? Dooſt thou deny it? What, and art thou come ſo well prouided indéede. Why ſo? Aſkeſt thou why? ſhalt thou doo this, and ſcape vnpuniſhed? doſt thou toll here into thy ſnare, yong men voyd of experience, and honeſtly brought vp? Art thou hée that féedeſt furth their mindes with intyſing & faire promiſing? Abyde, art thou well in thy wits? And doſt thou make marriages betwixt them and the harlots that they are in loue withall? Alas I am vndon, I feare me the ſtranger will haue neuer a word to ſay. Simo, if you knew this man thorowly, you would not think ſo of him: this is an honeſt man. May this fellow be an honeſt man? comes he this day ſo iump in the very time of this marriage: and could he come neuer before now? why Chremes, is this a man to bée beléeued? Were I not afeard of my father, I could tell him that which would ſatiſfie him in this point well ynough. Hah fogging knaue. What? O Crito beare with him, this is his faſhon. Nay let him conſider what he is: As for me, if hée procéede to call mée at his pleaſure, hée ſhall heare that, that ſhall bée litle to his lyking. Doo I let that ſame marriage? or doo I ought at all paſſe for it? Thou doſt not beare thy gréefe patiently: for as touching what I ſpake, whether it bée true or falſe that you heard, may ſoone be knowen.

What was his name? would you know his name ſo quickly? Phania. Out alas to day. In good ſooth, I take it, his name was Phania. This I am well aſſured of, that he ſaid he was a Rhamnuſian. O the King of heauen.
