Gnat. First grant me a short hearing: if you like
What I propose, agree to’t.
Phæd. Let us hear!
Gnat. Do you retire a moment, Thraso! (Thraso retires.) First,
I must beseech you both, most firmly think,
That I, whate’er I do in this affair,
For my own sake I do it: but if that
Likewise advantage you, not to agree
In you were folly.
Phæd. What are your proposals?
