Ev’n at his landing I fell in with him,

And brought him here to supper: for, from boys,

We have been friends and intimates.

Chrem. Good news:

Now do I wish the more that Menedemus,

Whom I invited, were my guest to-day,

That I, and under my own roof, might be

That I, and under my own roof, had been

The first to have surpris’d him with this joy!

And I may yet. (Going.)
