At thy request I'll spare him, but never any after him. Say, hermit, what canst thou do?

MUCEDORUS.

I'll wait on thee, sometime upon the queen. Such Service shalt thou shortly have as Bremo never had.

ACT IV. SCENE IV. The Court.

[Enter Segasto, the Clown, and ROMBELO.]

SEGASTO.

Come, sirs; what, shall I never have you find out Amadine and the shepherd?

MOUSE.

And I have been through the woods, and through the woods, and could see nothing but an emet.

ROMBELO.

Why, I see thousand emets; thou meanest a little one?

MOUSE.

Nay, that emet that I saw was bigger than thou art.

ROMBELO.

Bigger than I? what a fool have you to your man:

I pray you, master, turn him away.

SEGASTO.

But dost thou hear? was he not a man?

MOUSE.

I think he was, for he said he did lead a saltseller life about the woods.

SEGASTO.

Thou wouldest say a solitary life about the woods.

MOUSE.

I think it was so, indeed.

ROMBELO.

I thought what a fool thou art.

MOUSE.

Thou art a wise man! why, he did nothing but sleep since he went.

SEGASTO.

But tell me, Mouse, how did he go?

MOUSE.

In a white gown and a white hat on his head, and a staff in his hand.

SEGASTO.
