Rho. Pray, spouse, how long have you been acquainted with this gentleman?
Dor. Who? I acquainted with this stranger? To my best knowledge, I never saw him before.
Enter Melantha at the other end.
Pala. Thanks, fortune, thou hast helped me. [Aside.
Rho. Palamede, this must not pass so. I must know your mistress a little better.
Pala. It shall be your own fault else. Come, I'll introduce you.
Rho. Introduce me! where?
Pala. There. To my mistress. [Pointing to Melantha, who swiftly passes over the stage.
Rho. Who? Melantha! O heavens, I did not see her.
Pala. But I did: I am an eagle where I love; I have seen her this half hour.
