Count. Your grace shall find him in your further conference
Grave, wise, courtly, and scholar like, understandingly read
In the necessities of the life of man.
He knows that man is mortal by his birth;
He knows that man must dye, and therefore live;
He knows that [man] must live, and therefore eat,
And if it shall please your grace, to accompany your self with him, I doubt not, but that he will, at the least, make good my commendations.
Duk. Attend us Lazarello, we doe want
Men of such Action, as we have received you
Reported from your honorable friend.
Laza. Good my Lord stand betwixt me and my overthrow, you know I'm ti'd here, and may not depart, my gracious Lord, so waightie are the businesses of mine own, which at this time do call upon me, that I will rather chuse to die, than to neglect them.
Count. Nay you shall [well] perceive, besides the virtues that I have alreadie inform'd you of, he hath a stomach which will stoop to no Prince alive.
Duk. Sir at your best leisure, I shall thirst to see you.
Laza. And I shall hunger for it.
Duk. Till then farewell all.
Gon. Count. Long life attend your Grace.
Duk. I doe not tast this sport, Arrigo, Lucio.
