_CHREMES alone._

My daughter now has had ten minae of me, Which I account laid out upon her board: Ten more her clothes will come to: and moreover Two talents for her portion.----How unjust And absolute is custom!

SCENE IX.

_Enter MENEDEMUS._

MENE. (_to himself_). Oh son, how happy hast thou made thy father, Convinc'd of thy repentance!

CHREM. (_overhearing_). How mistaken!

MENE. Chremes! I wish'd for you.--'Tis in your power, And I beseech you do it, to preserve My son, myself, and family.

CHREM. I'll do't.

Wherein can I oblige you?

MENE. You to-day Have found a daughter.

CHREM. True. What then?

MENE. My Clinia Begs your consent to marry her.

CHREM. Good Heaven!

What kind of man are you?

MENE. What mean you, Chremes?

CHREM. Has it then slipp'd your memory so soon, The conversation that we had together, Touching the rogueries they should devise, To trick you of your money?

MENE. I remember.

CHREM. This is the trick.

MENE. How, Chremes? I'm deceiv'd.
