Scene VII.
Pamphilus, Charinus.
Char. (to himself.) I came to see what Pamphilus is doing: and here he is.
Pam. (to himself.) Any one would think, perhaps, that I do not believe this to be true, but I know it is, because I wish it so. I am of opinion, that the lives of the gods are eternal, because their pleasures are secure, and without end: for I feel that I am [212]become immortal, if no sadness intrude on this joy: but whom do I wish to see at this time? would that I had a friend here whom I might make happy by relating to him my good fortune.
Char. (to himself.) What can be the cause of these transports?
Pam. (to himself.) I see Davus, whom of all men I had rather meet: since I know he will rejoice more sincerely than any one at my happiness.
