to himself.]
I never saw a more shrewd rogue than Phormio.
I came to let him know, we wanted money,
With my device for getting it; and scarce
Had I related half, but he conceiv'd me.
He was o'erjoy'd; commended me; demanded
To meet with Demipho; and thank'd the Gods,
That it was now the time to shew himself
As truly Phædria's friend, as Antipho's.
I bad him wait us at the Forum; whither
I'd bring th'old gentleman.—And there he is!
—But who's the furthermost? Ha! Phædria's father.
—Yet what was I afraid of, Simpleton?
That I have got two dupes instead of one?
Is it not better that my hopes are doubled?
—I'll attack him, I first propos'd. If He
Answers my expectation, well: if not,
Why then have at you, Uncle!
