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?
