Chæ. But nothing in comparison with this damsel of mine?
Par. Another thing altogether.
Chæ. Troth now, Parmeno, prithee do contrive for me to gain possession of her.
Par. I’ll do my best, and use all my endeavors; I’ll lend you my assistance. (Going.) Do you want any thing else with me?
Chæ. Where are you going now?
Par. Home; to take those slaves to Thais, as your brother ordered me.
Chæ. Oh, lucky Eunuch that! really, to be sent as a present to that house! Par. Why so?
Chæ. Do you ask? Ho will always see at home a fellow-servant of consummate beauty, and he conversing with her; he will be in the same house with her; sometimes he will take his meals with her; sometimes sleep near her.
Par. What now, if you yourself were to be this fortunate person?
Chæ. By what means, Parmeno? Tell me.
