ou are done for?
(_Laughing._)

PAR. Hah! what is it you say, you hussy? Have you been telling me
lies? What, laughing still? Does it appear so delightful to you, you
jade, to be making fools of us?

PYTH. (_laughing._) Very much so.

PAR. Yes, indeed, if you can do it with impunity.

PYTH. Exactly so.

PAR. By heavens, I'll repay you!

PYTH. I believe you; but, perhaps, that which you are threatening,
Parmeno, will need a {future} day; you'll be trussed up directly, for
rendering a silly young man remarkable for disgraceful conduct, and
{then} betraying him to his father; they'll both be making an example
of you. (_Laughing._)

PAR. I'm done for!

PYTH. This reward has been found you in return for that present {of
yours};[107] I'm off. (_Goes into the house._)

PAR. (_to himself._) Wretch that I am; just like a rat, this day I've
come to destruction through betrayal of myself.[108]

GNA. What is it you say?

THRA. Why any the less so, than Hercules served Omphale.[109]

head stroked down with a slipper;[110] but her door makes a noise.

THRA. Confusion! Why, what mischief's this? I never saw this person
before; why, I wonder, is he rushing out in such a hurry? (_They stand
aside._)

SCENE IX.

_Enter CHAEREA from the house of THAIS, on the other side of the
stage._

CHAE. (_to himself, aloud._) O fellow-townsmen, is there any one alive
more fortunate than me this day? Not any one, upon my faith: for
clearly in me have the Gods manifested all their power, on whom, thus
suddenly, so many blessings are bestowed.

PAR. (_apart._) Why is he {thus} overjoyed?

CHAE. (_seeing PARMENO, and running up to him._) O my {dear} Parmeno,
the contriver, the beginner, the perfecter of all my delights, do you
know what are my transports? Are you aware that my Pamphila has been
discovered to be a citizen?

PAR. I have heard {so}.

CHAE. Do you know that she is betrothed to me?

PAR. So may the Gods bless me, happily done.

GNA. (_apart to THRASO._) Do you hear what he says?

CHAE. And then, besides, I am delighted that my brother's mistress is
secured to him; the family is united. Thais has committ
