SCENE I.
Enter PERIPHANES.PERIPHANES.
'Twere right a man should hold a mirror up
Not only to his face, but to his mind;
And see the very heart of his discretion.

Consult that glass, and think what life you led
When young yourself, Periphanes—I, who
Thus fret and teaze my heart out, on my son's
Account, I now experienc'd, feel myself,
My own misdeeds in youth stronger than his.
But truth it is, we old folks sometimes doat;
And such a mirror would be useful to us.
But see my friend Apœcides; and with him
The prize my son has purchas'd.
