Ant. He will find his tongue, I warrant ye; his health too; I send a physick will not fail.
Lord. Fair work it.
Ant. We hear the Princes mean to visit us In way of truce.
Lord. ’Tis thought so.
Ant. Come: let’s in then, And think upon the noblest wayes to meet ’em. [Exeunt.
SCENA VIII.
Enter Leontius.
Leo. There’s no way now to get in:
all the light stopt too;
Nor can I hear a sound of him, pray Heaven
He use no violence: I think he has more Soul,
Stronger, and I hope nobler: would I could but
see once,
This beauty he groans under, or come to know
But any circumstance. What noise is that there?
I think I heard him groan: here are some coming;
A woman too, I’le stand aloof, and view ’em.
Enter Menippus, Celia, Lords.
Cel. Well, some of ye have been to blame in this point, But I forgive ye: The King might have pickt out too Some fitter woman to have tri’d his valour.
Men. ’Twas all to the best meant, Lady.
Cel. I must think so, For how to mend it now: he’s here you tell me?
Men. He’s Madam, and the joy to see you only Will draw him out.
Leo. I know that womans tongue, I think I have seen her face too: I’le goe nearer: If this be she, he has some cause of sorrow: ’Tis the same face; the same, most excellent woman.
Cel. This should be Lord Leontius: I remember him.
Leo. Lady, I think ye know me.
Cel. Speak soft, good Souldier:
I do, and know ye worthy, know ye noble;
Know not me yet openly, as you love me;
But let me see ye again, I’le satisfie ye:
I am wondrous glad to see those eyes.
Leo. You have charged me.
Cel. You shall know where I am.
Leo. I will not off yet:
She goes to knock at’s door: This must
be she
The fellow told me of: right glad I am on’t,
He will bolt now for certain.
Cel. Are ye within Sir? I’le trouble you no more: I thank your courtesie, Pray leave me now.
All. Me. We rest your humble servants. [Ex. Me. &c.
Cel. So now my jives are off: pray Heaven he be here! Master, my royal Sir: do you hear who calls ye? Love, my Demetrius.
Leo. These are pretty quail-pipes, The Cock will Crow anon.
Cel. Can ye be drowsie, When I call at your Window?
Leo. I hear him stirring: Now he comes wondring out.
Enter Demetrius.
Dem. ’Tis Celias sound sure: The sweetness of that tongue draws all hearts to it; There stands the shape too.
Le[o]. How he stares upon her!
