Proclaim that this is not Pygmalion’s wife,

Who laughs and frowns, but knows no meed between.

I am no longer as that statue is! (Closes curtains.)

Pyg. Why here’s ingratitude, to slander Time,

Who in his hurried course has passed thee by!

Or is it that Cynisca won’t allow

That Time could pass her by, and never pause

To print a kiss upon so fair a face?

Enter Myrine.

Myr. Pygmalion; I have news.
