Simon. Mistress Margaret,

How fared my brother John, when you left Devon?

Marg

. John was well, sir.

Simon. 'Tis now nine months almost,

Since I saw home. What new friends has John made?

Or keeps he his first love?—I did suspect

Some foul disloyalty. Now do I know,

John has proved false to her, for Margaret weeps.

It is a scurvy brother.
