For Eunomia is worried that Megadorus does not have a wife. Megadorus, however, does not want a wife. For wives make rich men poor. Megadorus has enough gold and does not like beautiful women. For the more [ut] beautiful a woman is, the more [ita] she torments (her) man [i.e., husband]. The richer a man is, the poorer the wife makes her husband. Eunomia, however, her brother considers a very good woman. Therefore, the brother does just as the sister demands. For he considers Phaedra, the daughter of Euclio, a very good girl. Yet, just as Euclio is poor, so Phaedra has no dowry. Megadorus, however, does not want a dowry. For when wives are rich and have a big dowry, (then) the expense after the wedding is big, and the husbands give too much money. All Answer Keys
