SCENE V.
STASIMUSalone.
At length I have prevail'd on him to go.
Ye gods! from wrongly we shall manage right,
If we but keep this farm: and yet I have
Some doubt concerning what will be the issue.
If it be once made over to another,
'Tis over then with me: I must abroad,
Carry a knapsack, helmet, sword, and target:
He'll fly the city when the wedding's o'er,
And will enlist him somewhere for a soldier,
In Asia or Cilicia.—But I'll go,
Where master bade me; though I hate this house,
Ever since he, who bought it, turn'd us out.
