NOTE 209.
_Simo.――Why do you not immediately give orders for
her removal to our house?_
Grecian women, in the situation in which Glycera is represented to have
been, were usually well enough to go abroad in a litter in one day’s
time. This topic is introduced by the poet, in order that Davus may be
spoken of, and delivered from confinement; because his remaining in
prison would have been contrary to the rules of comedy.
NOTE 210.
_Simo.――Because he is now carrying on things of great
weight, and which touch him more nearly._
――――Quia habet aliud _magis_ ex sese et _majus_.
There is a pun in the original, which I have attempted to preserve in
the translation by a circumlocution which I trust on such an occasion
will be deemed allowable. The critics remark, that Terence, by Simo’s
pleasantry, (_vide Note 211_,) intended to shew that he was thoroughly
reconciled to his son. (_Vide Note 92._)
NOTE 211.
_Simo.――He is chained._
_Pam.――Ah! dear Sir, that was not_ well done.
_Simo.――I am sure I ordered it to be_ well done.
S. Vinctus est.
P. Pater non _rectè_ vinctus est.
S. _Haud ita jussi._
