Clar. Will you please to sit down? [Reads.
He shall command me Sir, I'le wait upon him
Within this hour.
Alci. Y'are a noble Gentleman,
Wil't please you bring a friend? we are two of us,
And pity either, Sir, should be unfurnish'd.
Clar. I have none now, and the time is set so short,
'Twill not be possible.
Alci. Do me the honour:
I know you are so full of brave acquaintance,
And worthy friends, you cannot want a partner:
I would be loth to stand still, Sir; besides,
You know the custom, and the vantage of it,
If you come in alone.
Clar. And I must meet it.
Alci. Send, we'l defer an hour, let us be equal:
Games won and lost on equal terms shew fairest.
Clar. 'Tis to no purpose to send any whither,
Unless men be at home by Revelation:
So please you breath a while; when I have done with him,
You may be exercis'd too: I'le trouble no man.
Enter Lisander.
Lisa. They are very loud. Now what's the news?
Clar. I must leave you,
Leave you a while, two hours hence I'le return friend.
