Have been a pretty fool! And if his son returns,—
For now I am so confused that whether he’s living or dead
I have not a notion,—but if, I say, he should return,
And ask Antiphila’s hand, would then Menedemus believe
That I did not tell him the truth before I knew any cause
To wish for one thing more than another? I say be off!
Ask me what you’ve done? A treasure of innocence
You are! Begone! I’ll never see you again. Begone!
