Scen. 2.
Enter Phædria.Phæ.
As I vpon my iourney passing was,
A thronging troupe of busie thoughts do presse
Into my mind; as oft it comes to passe
To men whose soules some trouble seised has:
And euery thing in the worse sence I guesse.
What neede much talke? while these dumpes me possesse
Vnheeded I was pass'd the towne I ment to,
And was gonne farre beyond it; when at last
Perceauing it I backe returned fast:
And being scarce come vnto the turne which went to
The towne, there staid; and in my minde thus cast,
Two whole dayes must I this place here be pent to
Alone without her? Why is that such a matter?
Tis nothing: Nothing? What, if not come at her
To touch her? must I yet be barr'd her sight?
If that be cross'd, is this to be lost quite?
To climbe the lowest, first step of loues lather
Were somewhat yet. But why in such affright
Enter Pythias.
Comes Pythias foorth? and why so hastily?
Manet Phædria.
