His brother’s is but jest and children’s play

To his mad fury.

Chær. Twice ten thousand curses

Seize the old wretch, who kept me back to-day;

And me for staying! with a fellow too

I did not care a farthing for!—But see!

Yonder stands Parmeno.—Good-day!

Par. How now?

Wherefore so sad? and why this hurry, Chærea?

Whence come you?
