Myrr. How!

Phid. How?—My daughter has been brought to bed.

—Ha! are you dumb?—By whom?

Myrr. Is that a question

For you, who are her father, to demand?

Alas! by whom d’ye think, unless her husband?

Phid. So I believe: nor is it for a father

To suppose otherwise. But yet I wonder

That you have thus conceal’d her labor from us,

Especially as she has been deliver’d
