Thra. Just so his line of battle Pyrrhus form’d.

Chremes and Thais appear above at a window.

Chrem. D’ye see, my Thais, what he is about?

To bar and bolt the doors was good advice.

Thais. Tut, man! you fool, that seems so mighty brave,

Is a mere coward. Do not be afraid!

Thra. What were best? (To Gnatho.)

Gnat. Troth, I wish you had a sling:

That you from far in ambush might attack them!

They’d soon fly then, I warrant you.
