[_Tynd._
What do you say? Did you bring this gentleman’s captive son?
_Philocr._
Yes, yes, he’s inside, I tell you.
_Tynd._
By heaven, sir, you have acted fairly and honourably.
_Philocr._
Now here is your father: and here is the thief who stole you
away from here when you were small.
_Tynd._
But now that we’re both big, I’ll hand him over to the
executioner for that theft.
_Philocr._
He deserves it.
_Tynd._
Well then, I’ll give him his deserved deserts deservedly, by
gad! But you, sir, speak I beseech you. Are you my father?
_Hegio_
I am, my dear lad.
_Tynd._
Now at last I remember--when I think it over.]
