Ah Menedemus You are too eager both wayes Either in too much spending or sparing You shall fall into the same trap by the one as well as the other First in times past rather then you would suffer your son line 35 To go to a woman which was then contented with a very little And by whom all things were thankfully accepted You rated him hence she being forced whether she would or not Began to seek a living where she could come by it Now when she cannot be had without great loss line 40 You desire to bestow any thing on her For that you may understand How well she is now fitted to work ones destruction First of all she hath brought with her above ten maids Laden with clothes and gold if her lover were a Lord He could never be able to maintain her charges line 45 Much less can you Men. Is she within Ch.

That which you perceive they go about to cosen me of That they would make haste to do it I desire to give him What he would have I long now to see him Ch.

I pray you do so O strange That the nature of all men should be so disposed That they can better see and judge of other mens things then their own Cometh it hereupon because in our own affairs line 100 We are very much hindred by too much joy Or gries of minde How much wiser Now is this man for me then I am for my self Ch. I have rid my self srom them that I might attend you at leisure Actus III. Scen. 1. Chremes Menedemus Ch.
