Clin. Now, Heav’n so help me, I rejoice at this

On her account much rather than my own,

Her, whom I know worthy the highest honors.

Syrus. No doubt on’t.—But now, Clinia, hold a while!

Give me a moment’s hearing in my turn.

For your friend’s business must be thought of now,

And well secur’d, lest our old gentleman

Suspect about the wench.

Clin. O Jupiter! (In raptures.)

Syrus. Peace! (Impatiently.)
