The virgin from me: Well then, let him come!
But if he does but lay a finger on her,
We’ll tear his eyes out.—His impertinence.
And big words, while mere words, I can endure;
But if he comes to action, woe be to him!
Chrem. Thais, I have been here some time.
Thais. My Chremes!
The very man I wanted!—Do you know
That you have been th’ occasion of this quarrel?
And that this whole affair relates to you?
