[ ACT THE SECOND.]
[ SCENE I.]
Enter Æschinus, Sannio, Parmeno, the Music-Girl, and a crowd of People.
San. Help, help, dear countrymen, for Heaven’s sake!
Assist a miserable, harmless man!
Help the distress’d!
Æsch. (to the Girl). Fear nothing: stand just there!
Why d’ye look back? you’re in no danger. Never,
While I am by, shall he lay hands upon you.
