Had I related half, but he conceiv’d me.
He was o’erjoy’d; commended me; demanded
To meet with Demipho; and thank’d the god;
That it was now the time to show himself
As truly Phædria’s friend as Antipho’s.
I bade him wait us at the Forum; whither
I’d bring th’ old gentleman.—And there he is!
—But who’s the furthermost? Ha! Phædria’s father.
—Yet what was I afraid of, simpleton?
That I have got two dupes instead of one?
