Pam. (to himself.) I see Davus. There is no one in the world whom I would choose in preference; for I am sure that he of all people will sincerely rejoice in my happiness.
[ Scene VII.]
Enter Davus.
Dav. (to himself.) Where is Pamphilus, I wonder?
Pam. Here he is, Davus.
Dav. (turning round.) Who’s that?
Pam. ’Tis I, Pamphilus; you don’t know what has happened to me.
Dav. No really; but I know what has happened to myself.
Pam. And I too.
Dav. It has fallen out just like human affairs in general, that you should know the mishap I have met with, before I the good that has befallen you.
