SCENE III.
PALÆSTRIOalone.
And I'll go home too, use my best endeavours
To trace my man out: but I must dissemble,
(A stranger to the matter I,) to learn
Which of my fellow-servants 'twas, to-day
That sought this monkey: for it cannot be,
But he must prate to some one of our family
About my master's lady, how he saw her
Next door caressing of a stranger spark.
I know their manners, and myself alone
Of all our house have learn'd to hold my tongue.
If I do find him, my whole armament
I'll plant against him: all things are prepared;
And for a certainty my force must conquer him.
If I don't find him, like an hound I'll go
Smelling about, until I shall have traced
My fox out by his track. But our door creaks:
My voice I'll lower: here comes my fellow-servant,
The guardian of Philocomasium.
