If all were ready to lend their neighbours a helping hand,

We should not hear the complaints we do against ill fortune.

I am always ready myself; am now: in point of fact

I have promised to do what I can: but since, before I act,

Or even judge, I am willing to know all sides of a case,

’Tis part of my duty to see this girl. Could you procure

That I should speak with her?

Pam. (aside). This is the very thing we want.

If now I could get him to ask Antiphila here to-day,

Clinia of course would come: I’ll try and work it.
