SCENE II.
Enter PLEUSIDIPPUS, talking to three friends at a distance.I have withdrawn you from your own concerns;—
Nor has the purpose speeded, for which cause
I brought you out with me.—I could not find
This villainous procurer at the port.—

Through my remissness:—Wherefore I have still,
My friends, detain'd you for some longer space.—
To Venus' temple am I now come hither,
Where, he inform'd me, he design'd to sacrifice.
Scep.
(at a distance, falling to work.)
'Twere best to set about this plaguy clay here,
Though I am work'd to death by't.
Pleus.
Sure I hear
Some voice or other near me.
