Lysander & Piscinus enterLysander:
I have a villanous minde, to mix profitt
Wt h my pleasure, to make vp this Comedy;
And I finde none so fitt to worke on as this Piscinus
And ifaith tis but A little strayneinge of conscience
To venture on my vncle Ægidius: and as we
Shall have occasion sende him in for ye 2 course
this aside
S
r ever since you haue inbarqued yr selfe
now to Pisc:
into this suite, you have bin y
e man whom I did
ever most desyre to further, as alwayes likeinge well
of y
r discreet carriage, & so far patient yt you have
bin w
t
hout [y] retourne of all ye fowle iniuryes Surdatoes
haug[h]ty and disgracefull spirit endeavors to throw
I cannot but be throughly informed, so for ye honest
And good will I from ye firste did beare; you may
Promise y
r selfe (I will not but trulye instruct you).
y
e onely rub I find in yr way (duty must here give
place) is Ægidius; he is y
e likelyest to whom Lepidus
and Facetia must condescende,: but I have dealte
w
t
h him already (as I was alwayes willinge to prpare
all for y
r good) and I finde, vppon some consideration,
he woulde be willinge to give over y
e wearye suite
you know hee's vnwilye and covetous too: you may be
sure of my prosecutinge it for my owne sake: For
(of w
c h I hope for noe meane portion) falls into ye hands of others: therfore thincke you ar well advised
Trust me w
t
h ye rest: I would not haue you
seene. my vncle promised to come about this
time and lo hee's here w
t
h a wish.
Piscin:
Gives him a bagg of monye
and wt h signes of likeing:
Exit Piscinus
