Char. Oh, Pamphilus!——I come to implore from you hope, safety, counsel, and assistance.
Pam. Truly, I myself have need of counsel, and assistance too: but what is this affair?
Char. You are to be married to-day!
Pam. Ay, they say so.
Char. If you are, Pamphilus, you see me to-day for the last time[113].
Pam. Why so?
Char. Alas! I dread to speak it! tell him, Byrrhia, I beseech you.
Byrr. I will.
Pam. What is it, speak?
Byrr. My master loves Philumena to distraction, and hears that she is betrothed to you.
