ACT V

Scene 1

Enter Kandaules, Thoas following.

Kandaules.

Where’er I go you’re hard at heels. What would you?

No heart to open speech with me, old man,

Because I was a trifle rough with you?

Speak—on with what you’d say. I’ll keep my soul

In patience and give ear though you should need

The length of time that turns a grape from green
