Chærea had charge of all; the rings were given,

And time and place appointed.—The time’s past;

No entertainment’s at the place; and Chærea

Is no where to be met with.—For my part,

I’m quite to seek in this; and what to say,

Or guess, I know not.—Yet the company

Have all commission’d me to find him out.

I’ll see if he’s at home;—but who comes here

From Thais?—Is it he, or no?—’Tis he.——

—What manner of man’s here?—what habit’s that?
