The Comedies of Terence

by Terence

Gain’d my good-will, and alter’d my opinion.

For not the women only thought thus of you,

But I believ’d it too. Now therefore, since

I’ve found you better than my expectation,

Prove still the same, and make my friendship sure.

If otherwise—But I’ll contain myself. I’ll not

Say any thing severe.—But I advise you,

Rather experience what a friend I am,

Than what an enemy.

Bacch. I’ll do my best.
