Dem. There has been a child born.
Mic. May the Gods be propitious to it.
Dem. The girl has no fortune.
Mic. So I have heard.
Dem. And he—must he marry her without one?
Mic. Of course.
Dem. What is to be done then?
Mic. Why, what the case itself points out: the young woman must be brought hither.
Dem. O Jupiter! must that be the way then?
Mic. What can I do else?
