SCENE III.—An Apartment in Belforest's Mansion.
Enter Castabella avoiding the importunity of Rousard.
Cast. Nay, good sir; in troth, if you knew how little it pleases me, you would forbear it.
Rous. I will not leave thee till thou'st entertained me for thy servant.
Cast. My servant! You are sick you say. You would tax me of indiscretion to entertain one that is not able to do me service.
Rous. The service of a gentlewoman consists most in chamber work, and sick men are fittest for the chamber. I prithee give me a favour.
Cast. Methinks you have a very sweet favour of your own.
Rous. I lack but your black eye.
Cast. If you go to buffets among the boys, they'll give you one.
Rous. Nay, if you grow bitter I'll dispraise your black eye.
The gray-eyed morning makes the fairest day.
