Scen. 2.
Enter Mysis.Mys.
VVhere ere he be, Ile finde your Pamphilus
And bring him with me streight:
34
Pam.
Mysis?
Mys.
What's the matter?
Oh, was't you Pamphilus? you are well met.
Pam.
What newes?
Mys.
My Mistresse praies you of all loue
To come to her: she longs to speake with you.
Pam.
I am a forlorne wretch: the mischiefe spreads.
That she and I should both be thus perplexed
By meanes of thee? for I am therefore sent for
Because she heares my wedding is prepared.
Cha.
From which how easily had you now bin quiet,
Had he bin quiet?
Dau.
Yes, so, goe on:
If of himselfe he be not vexd inough,
Vrge him on further.
Mys.
I indeede tis that
Does now afflict her.
Pam.
Mysis, I doe sweare
By all the Gods vnto thee, I will neuer
Forsake her: no, though I were sure thereby
To vndergoe the whole worlds enmitie.
I did desire her; haue obtaind her; see
That we both iumpe in mindes, and qualitie.
Farewell to all that seeke vs two to seuer:
But death none takes her from me.
Cha.
I recouer.
Pam.
I doe desire (if't may be so borne vp)
My father should not thinke I am the cause
The marriage holds not: if that cannot be,
Ile take the next course: that he may perceiue
I crosse it. What kinde of man doost thinke me.
Cha.
Faith euery way as wretched as my selfe.
Dau.
I cast for helpe.
Cha.
I, thou hast a good heart.
Dau.
And will effect it for you.
Pam.
'T must be now.
Dau.
Why, I ha't now.
Cha.
What is it?
Dau.
You mistake;
It is for him, not you.
Cha.
I am content.
Pam.
Say, what wilt doe?
Dau.
I haue scarce day enough
35
At leasure therefore now, to tell you it.
But get y'hence both; you, now but hinder me.
Pam.
Ile visite her here.
Dau.
And you, whither you?
Exit Pamphilus.
Cha.
Wilt thou I tell thee truth?
Dau.
Nay see, he makes a prologue to a tale.
Cha.
What doost for me?
Dau.
Oh impudent! is't not inough I giue thee
Some houres; by putting off his marriage?
Cha.
Yet Dauus—
Dau.
Well, what?
Cha.
That I may haue her.—
Dau.
Ridiculous!
Cha.
Yet if thou canst do ought—
Come home to me.
Dau.
To what end should I come?
I nothing haue to helpe thee.
Cha.
I but if—
Dau.
Well, I will come.
Cha.
If thou canst thinke of ought
Ile be at home.
Exit Charinus.
Dau.
Mysis, while I goe hence
Stay here a little for me.
Mys.
To what end?
Dau.
Tis needfull now, thou do so.
Mys.
Make hast then.
Dau.
I will be here straightway againe with thee.
Exit Dauus.
