Scen. 3.

Pyth.
What, can I thinke of no plot, no deuice,
No tricke to crie quittance with this rascall!
That foisted in this counterfeit among vs?

Chr.
Pray moue your ioynts a little nimbler nurse.

Soph.
I moue sir.

Chr.
I, I see't; but nothing forward.

Pyth.
Haue you yet shewn the tokens to her sir?

Chr.
Yes, all.

Pyth.
What sayes she, pray? remembers them?

Chr.
Yes perfectly.

Pyth.
In troth you bring good newes,
For I do wish the maid well. Pray go in;
Exit Chremes and Sophrona.
My mistresse long since did expect your comming.
Enter Parmeno.
But see the honest fellow Parmeno,
I thinke I haue found a tricke to nettle him,
As I would wish. Ile first go in and heare
The maides acknowledgement; and againe come foorth
To fright the rogue with a fine pennieworth.
Exit Pythias.
