Didymus. The innocent Theodora is set free.

In as a thief came I who gave such good,

But never greeted her, nor saw, nor heard,

Up to our late accost in this vile pen.

A Voice. How now, neighbors? A joker.

Another Voice. Or a liar.

The Crowd. More like, a fellow-Christian.

Didymus. Why a Christian?

The Prefect. If not a Christian, it rejoiceth me,

Aweary grown of all the casuist breed.
