You have made me, my dear Clinia, the very happiest of fathers, By this return to your senses; indeed I ran great risk Of taking leave of my own: but since I have you back, ’Tis nothing but happiness: and gladly I now consent To the match, which hitherto in your own interest I have only opposed because I would not have you marry A woman not freeborn. To be sure I c^d have wished ’Twas somebody else’s daughter than Chremes’. After all It might be worse. But are you sure you hold to it still, And wish to marry her?
