What can I rather wish, than to behold

Their marriage-rites to-day? For since my son

Has given me his word, I’ve not a doubt,

Should he refuse, but I may force him to it:

And to my wishes see where Chremes comes.

[ SCENE V.]

Enter Chremes.

Simo. Chremes, good-day!

Chremes. The very man I look’d for.

Simo. And I for you.
