Scene VIII.

Re-enter Hegio, speaking to Sostrata at the door.

Be of good cheer, my Sostrata; and comfort, As much as in your pow'r, poor Pamphila! I'll find out Micio, if he's at the Forum, And tell him the whole story: if he'll act With honor in it, why 'tis well; if not, Let him but speak his mind to me, and then I shall know how to act accordingly.

Exit.
