ALICIA. Swear me the oath anew!
CRASSUS. I swear to love you till the world shall end.
ALICIA. Then, Crassus, I will always be your friend.
CRASSUS. Ah, that is good! You do not mock me now!

CRASSUS. Why? Have I not?
ALICIA. You have not.
CRASSUS. Just my hand.
ALICIA. You disobey your mistress's command? The time is near when you shall see The keyhole of my comedy!
CRASSUS. Ha! Ha! Ha!
