Scena nona.

Enter Caricles, and Calasiris.
Carie.
Saw you my onely joy, and the sole honour
Of Delphos, faire Cariclea my daughter?

Calas.
This was not sir the first time that I saw her
As often as the people made resort
Unto the temple I was present with her,
And more, we have done sacrifice together,
And when she doubted any point depending,
On divine matters, or on humane learning;
She would have me instruct her in the truth.

Caric.
How did you like her at the sacrifice?
Did she set forth that brave sight any thing?

Calasiris.
You aske me a strang question Caricles,
As if you doubted, whether the bright moone
Did passe the lesser starres.

Caric.
The people prais'd
Theagines the young Thessalian captaine,
Attributing the second place to him.

Calasires.
Yea, and the third too, but they all acknowledge
Your daughter carryed it away, and was
The verie eye of the solemnitie.

Caric.
Come will you goe with me to visite her
I doubt the concourse of so great a troope
Hath preiudic'd her rest.

Calasir.
though my affaires
Call me another way, yet il'e dispence
VVith them how great so ever and important
To waite on you and her
