SCEN. III.
Asotus, Ballio.Ball.
A fair sunne
Shine on the happy bridegroom.
Asot.
Quondam Tutour,
(For I am past all tuition but my wifes)
Thanks for your wishes; have you studied yet
How with one charge (for ceremonious charge
I care not for) I may expresse my grief
At the sad funerals of my friends deceas'd,
And yet proclaim with how much joy I wed
The beauteous Phryne?
Ball.
I have beat my brain
To finde out a right garb: weare these two clokes.
This sable garment, sorrows Liverie,
Speaks funerall: this richer robe of joy,
Sayes 'tis a nuptiall solemnitie.
Asot.
A choice device:—I'le practise.
Ball.
Rarely well.
