SCENE I.

Enter LYSITELES.
I am the first of men, surpassing all
In pleasure and in joy, so happily
Does every thing befall me, that I wish:
Still one success is followed by another
In all I do, and transport seconds transport.
Young Lesbonicus' servant, Stasimus,
Met me just now, and told me, Charmides
His master was return'd here from abroad.
'Tis proper I should meet him with all speed,
That so the compact 'twixt his son and me
May by the father's sanction be confirm'd.
I'll go.—But hark, the door I hear is opening:—
This hindrance now is most unseasonable.

(Retires at a distance.
