Par. By no means; on the contrary, I’ll see it done. But do you order any thing else?
Phæd. Set off my present with words, as far as you can; and so far as you are able, do drive away that rival of mine from her.
Par. Pshaw! I should have kept that in mind, even if you hadn’t reminded me.
Phæd. I shall go into the country and remain there.
Par. I agree with you. (Moves as if going.)
Phæd. But hark you!
Par. What is it you want?
Phæd. Are you of opinion that I can muster resolution and hold out so as not to come back within the time?
Par. What, you? Upon my faith, I don’t think so; for either you’ll be returning at once, or by-and-by, at night, want of sleep will be driving you hither.
Phæd. I’ll do some laborious work, that I may be continually fatigued, so as to sleep in spite of myself.
