Gl. Let us hire the Waggon for us four by ourselves, that we may get to Antwerp the sooner: It is but a little more Charge, not worth minding, and this Expence will be made up by many Advantages; we shall have the more Room, and shall pass the Journey the more pleasantly in mutual Conversation.
Po. Glycion is much in the Right on't. For good Company in a Journey does the Office of a Coach; and according to the Greek Proverb, we shall have more Liberty of talking, not about a Waggon, but in a Waggon.
Gl. Well, I have made a Bargain, let us get up. Now I've a Mind to be merry, seeing I have had the good Luck to see my old dear Comrades after so long a Separation.
Eu. And methinks I seem to grow young again.
Po. How many Years do you reckon it, since we liv'd together at Paris?
Eu. I believe it is not less than two and forty Years.
Pa. Then we seem'd to be all pretty much of an Age.
Eu. We were so, pretty near the Matter, for if there was any Difference it was very little.
Pa. But what a great Difference does there seem to be now? For Glycion has nothing of an old Man about him, and Polygamus looks old enough to be his Grandfather.
Eu. Why truly he does so, but what should be the Reason of it?
