But, gracious me! Cleanthis, they are still lovers. There comes a certain age when all this passes away; what suits them well in these early days would look ridiculous in us, old married people. It would be it fine sight to see us embracing each other, and saying sweet nothings! (CLE: Oh! You perfidious wretch, must I give up hope that a heart sighs for me?) No, I should be sorry to say that; but I have too long a beard to dare to sigh; I should make you die of laughter.
