An old Corinthian woman dwelling here,
To whom I gave the child to be expos’d.
Chrem. O Jupiter! was ever such a fool!
Sostra. Ah, what have I committed?
Chrem. What committed!
Sostra. If I’ve offended, Chremes, ’tis a crime
Of ignorance, and nothing of my purpose.
Chrem. Own it or not, I know it well enough,
That ignorantly, and imprudently,
You do and say all things; how many faults
