Sostra. Is it because my daughter’s found you say this?
Chrem. No: but because, a stronger reason far,
His manners are so very like your own,
They are convincing proofs that he’s your son
His manners so resemble yours, you may
Easily prove him thence to be your son.
He is quite like you: not a vice, whereof
He is inheritor, but dwells in you:
And such a son no mother but yourself
Could have engender’d.—But he comes.—How grave!
