PAPHNUTIUS. Where does she live?
YOUNG MAN. Over there. Her house is quite near this place.
PAPHNUTIUS. That house?
YOUNG MAN. Yes, to the left of the statue.
PAPHNUTIUS. I will go there.
YOUNG MAN. If you like, we will come with you.
PAPHNUTIUS. I thank you for the courtesy, but I would rather go alone.
YOUNG MAN. We understand. Have you money in your purse, stranger? Thais loves a handsome face, but she loves a full purse more.
PAPHNUTIUS. Gendemen, I am rich. I have a rare present to offer her.
YOUNG MAN. To our next meeting, then! Farewell. May Thais be kind!
PAPHNUTIUS. Farewell.
SCENE III
PAPHNUTIUS. Thais! Thais!
THAIS. Who is there? I do not know that voice.
PAPHNUTIUS. Thais! Your lover speaks! Thais!
THAIS. Stranger, who are you?
PAPHNUTIUS. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come!
THAIS. Who are you?
PAPHNUTIUS. A man who loves you!
