Enter Chrysos.

Chry. Well—is the young man’s mind prepared?

Daph.It is;

He seems quite calm. Give money for the stone,

I’ve heard that it is far beyond all price,

But run it down; abuse it ere you buy.

Chry. (to Pyg.) Where is the statue that I saw last year?

Pyg. Sir—it’s unfinished—it’s a clumsy thing.

I am ashamed of it.

Chry.It isn’t good.
