Scen. 3.
Pyth.VVretch that I am, wher shal I find this fellow?
Where this vngodly wicked fellow find?
That he should dare attempt a piece of worke
So monstrous, so audacious!
Phæ.
I am lost,
And doubt what this may meane.
Pyth.
Besides, yet further
The vilaine not alone defil'd the maid;
But rent the poore soules linnen, tore her haire.
Phæ.
How's this?
Pyth.
Whom if I now could light vpon,
How I would flie vpon th'eyes o'th' witch?
Phæ.
I cannot guesse what coile hath here befalne
Since my departure. Ile go to her. How now?
What is the matter? why such haste? Who is it
Pythias, thou lookst for thus.
Pyth.
Oh Phædria,
Whom seeke I? Sir I pray you get you hence
Where you deserue, with your conceited presents.
Phæ.
What may this meane?
Pyth.
Aske you? what fine Eunuch
Was that you sent? what stirre hath he here made vs?
H'has rauisht the young maide, the souldier
Bestowed vpon my Mistresse.
Phæ.
Ha! what this?
Pyth.
I am vndone.
Phæ.
Thou art drunke.
Pyth.
I would
To God that all that hate me, were as drunke as I am.
Dorias.
For Gods loue Pythias what strange happe was this?
Phæ.
Th'art mad. How could an Eunuch do such thing?
Pyth.
I know not what he was; but what h'has done.
The case it selfe doth shew The wench she weepes,
And when one askes her, dare not vtter why.
The honest fellow too's not to be found.
Beside I feare, hee's runne away with somewhat.
Phæ.
You make me wonder, where the lazie bones
Should haue conueid himselfe: vnlesse perhaps
89
Pyth.
Pray, see if he be there.
Phæ.
You shall know straight.
Dorias.
I am to seeke, good God sweete Pythias
I haue not heard so strange an accident.
Pyth.
Yes, I had heard that they loued woman
Deerely, but could do nothing. And forgetfull beast
I neuer thought ont: else I had mewd him vp,
And nere h'trusted her vnto his keeping.
