And yet forgive him afterward, and then

With an ill grace too.

Chrem. Ah, you do not know

How much this grieves me.

Mene. Well, well, take your way.

But tell me, do you grant me my request

That this your new-found daughter wed my son?

Or is there aught more welcome to you?

Chrem. Nothing.

The son-in-law and the alliance please me.
