Go to, be it so. But make haste than. I go in straight way. O Blissful and happy day that this is. I I am come forth, to see what Pamphilus is a doing: but lo where he is. Perhaps somebody would think that I scant believe this to be true, but I will have it to be true, as it is in deed. I suppose that therefore the life of the Gods is everlasting, because pleasures do properly belong unto them: for mine own part, I am in heaven all ready, if so be it, no grief of mind do intermingle with this joy. But now what man should I most specially desire to meet withal, to whom I might show all that hath happened. What great joy is that? Lo, I see Davus: There is no man living that I would fainer have: for I am sure that he, of all other, will unfeignedly rejoice at my joy and gladness. whereabout here, is Pamphilus? Davus. What man is that? It is I. O my master Pamphilus. Thou wotst not what hath happened to me. Very true, but I wot well what hath happened to myself. And so do I too. Yea it came to pass after the common course of the world, that you knew of the evil that happened to me, sooner than I knew of the good that happened to you. My sweet love Glycerie, hath found out who be her parents. O happy chance. What is that? Her father is a very special friend of ours. Who is that? Chremes. You say well. Neither is there any let or tarriance, but that I may marry her out of hand. What, doth he not dream trow you, that which his mind ran upon being awake? Now moreover Davus, as touching the child. Tush let it alone, God doth specially provide for it above all other children. I am a made man, if this be true: I will sure speak with him. What man is there? O Carinus, you come to me, even as well as heart can wish. It is well. What, have you heard the matter? Yes every whit: Go to, have some respect of me, now in the time of your prosperity: I know that Chremes is now yours altogether, and will do all that you will have him do. I wot it full well: but it would be too long for us, to tarry and look for his coming forth: Therefore follow me along this way: he is now within with Glicerie. Davus go thou thy way home: high thee, go for company to bring her away hence. Why dost thou stand still? why goest thou not? I am going. Do not stay looking for their coming out: for she shall be betrothed within: and if any thing more remain to be done, it shall be dispatched within also. Now clap hands, and rejoice.
