DEM. Nay, but 'tis our duty.

First, there's the mother of the bride----

MICIO. What then?

DEM. Worthy and modest.

MICIO. So they say.

DEM. In years.

MICIO. True.

DEM. And so far advanc'd, that she is long Past child-bearing, a poor lone woman too, With none to comfort her.

MICIO. What means all this?

DEM. This woman 'tis your place to marry, brother; --And yours (_to aeSCHINUS_) to bring him to't.

MICIO. I marry her?

DEM. You.

aeSCH. (_to MICIO_). Dear father!

MICIO. How!

Do you then join him, fool?

DEM. Nay, don't deny.

It can't be otherwise.

MICIO. You've lost your senses!

MICIO. You're mad.

Away!

DEM. Oblige your son.

MICIO. Have you your wits?

I a new married man at sixty-five!

And marry a decrepit poor old woman!

Is that what you advise me!

aeSCH. Do it, Sir!

I've promis'd them.

MICIO. You've promis'd them, indeed!

Prithee, boy, promise for yourself.

DEM. Come, come!

What if he ask'd still more of you?

MICIO. As if This was not ev'n the utmost.
