SCENE IX.

SCELEDRUS, PALÆSTRIO.
SCELEDRUS.
I tremble for the consequence,—my back
Does tingle so all over!

Pal.
Know you not,
That you're undone?—She's now at home for certain.

Sce.
Where'er she be, I'll watch our door for certain.

(Places himself before the Captain's door.)
Pal.
But pray, what think you of this dream she dreamt?
How like it was to what has past,—as how
You should suspect, you saw her with a lover?

Sce.
And do you think, I did not see her?

Pal.
Prithee
Repent thee.—Should this reach our master's ear,
156

You are undone for ever!

Sce.
I am now
At length convinc'd, that I have had a mist
Before my eyes.

Pal.
That long ago was plain:
For she has been at home here all the while.

Sce.
I know not what to say: I did not see her,
Though I did see her.

Pal.
Verily by your folly
You've near undone us: wishing to appear
True to your master, you have near been ruin'd.—
But heark—I hear a noise at the next door.—
I'll say no more.
