[Seeing LOVEL.
Where is the company gone?
Lovel. To see the fireworks, where you will be expected to follow. But I perceive you are better engaged.
John. I have been meditating this half hour,
On all the properties of a brave friendship,

Its limits withal, and its nice boundaries.
Exempli gratiâ, how far a man
May lawfully forswear himself for his friend;
What quantity of lies, some of them brave ones,
