--But is't not Bacchis that I see come forth From our new kinsman? What can she do there?

[Changes:

_Harper_ Of Pamphilus?”--All answer'd, No.

_Colman 1768_ Of Pamphilus?”--No--no--All No.]

SCENE II.

_Enter BACCHIS._

BACCH. Oh Parmeno, I'm glad I've met with you.

Run quick to Pamphilus.

PAR. On what account?

BACCH. Tell him that I desire he'd come.

PAR. To you?

BACCH. No; to Philumena.

PAR. Why? what's the matter?

BACCH. Nothing to you; so ask no questions.

PAR. Must I Say nothing else?

BACCH. Yes; tell him too, That Myrrhina acknowledges the ring, Which formerly he gave me, as her daughter's.

PAR. I understand you. But is that all?

BACCH. All.

He'll come the moment that you tell him that.

What! do you loiter?

PAR. No, i' faith, not I.

I have not had it in my pow'r, I've been So bandied to and fro, sent here and there, Trotting, and running up and down all day. (_Exit._

SCENE III.

_BACCHIS alone._

What joy have I procur'd to Pamphilus By coming here to-day! what blessings brought him!

And from how many sorrows rescued him!

His son, by his and their means nearly lost, I've sav'd; a wife he meant to put away, I have restor'd; and from the strong suspicions Of Laches and Phidippus set him free.
