To come to life—what would become of them,

Or me, with Chrysos in the house? No—no,

They’re bad enough in marble—but in flesh!!!

I’ll sell the bold-faced hussies one and all,

But till I’ve sold them, Chrysos stops outside!

Chry. What have I done?

Daph.What have you not done sir?

Chry. I can not tell you—it would take too long!

Daph. I saw you sitting with that marble minx,

Your arm pressed lovingly around her waist.
