SCENE I.
Enter the PARASITE and a BOY.PARASITE.
Of a debauch'd, lewd, military man
I am the Parasite, who a mistress brought
With him from Samos, and has order'd me
To go and ask, if she'll pay back the gold,
Or will return with him—Boy—You, who long
Have waited on her, which soe'er's the house,
Knock at it—Hye thee to the door forthwith—
[the Boy goes to knock.
Come back, a mischief on thee!—Look you, how
The graceless scoundrel knocks!—Thou could'st devour
A loaf three feet in width, yet know'st not how
A door to knock at—Ho! Is any one
Within there!—Ho!—Who is within doors? Ho!
[calling.
Who opens me the door?—Who is't comes out?—
