Scen. 4.

Mys.
Good God Archillis, I doe heare you woman:
You would haue Lesbia fetcht; vpon my word

10

She is a drunken gossip, and vnheedie:
And one scarce fit to whom you may commit
A woman in first childbirth: Yet Ile fetch her.
Note you the old ones importunitie!
None but her pot-companion will serue turne.
But I pray God grant this a good deliuery:
Enter Pamphilus.
And that the Midwife rather may elsewhere
Neglect, then here. But what may be the cause
I Pamph'lus see so much disquieted?
I feare what it may be. Ile stay a while
To know the reason of his troubled gesture.
