Phæd. So! you’d need sing her praise to me!

Thraso. Confusion!

As my hope dies, my passion gathers strength.

Gnatho, your help! my only hope’s in you.

As my hope dies, my love increases. Gnatho

Your help! my expectation’s all in you.

Gnat. What would you have me do?

Thraso. Accomplish this;

By pray’r, by purchase, that I still may have

Some little share in Thais.
