You know that I am banisht from the court;

I know likewise each passage is best, So that we cannot long escape unknown:

Therefore my will is this, that we return Right through the thickets to the wild man's cave, And there a while live on his provision, Until the search and narrow watch be past.

This is my counsel, and I think it best.

AMADINE.

I think the very same.

MUCEDORUS.

Come, let's begone.

[Enter the Clown who searches and falls over the wild man and so carry him away.]

MOUSE.

Nay, soft, sir; are you here? a bots on you! I was like to be hanged for not finding you. We would borrow a certain stray king's daughter of you: a wench, a wench, sir, we would have.

MUCEDORUS.

A wench of me! I'll make thee eat my sword.

MOUSE.

Oh Lord! nay, and you are so lusty, I'll call a cooling card for you. Ho, master, master, come away quickly.

[Enter Segasto.]

SEGASTO.

What's the matter?

MOUSE.

Look, master, Amadine & the shepherd: oh, brave!

SEGASTO.

What, minion, have I found you out?

MOUSE.

Nay, that's a lie, I found her out myself.

SEGASTO.

Thou gadding huswife, What cause hadst thou to gad abroad, When as thou knowest our wedding day so nigh?

AMADINE.

Not so, Segasto, no such thing in hand;
