[Footnote: Compare in Shakspeare's Winter's Tale Autolyeus' answer to Camillo (Act IV., Scene 3), who gives him money, "I am a poor fellow, sir, … I cannot with conscience take it.">[
ANS. Permit me….
MASC. I won't, indeed: I do not act thus for the sake of money.
ANS. I know you do not. But however…
MASC. No, Anselmo, I will not. I am a man of honour; this offends me.
ANS. Farewell then, Mascarille.
MASC. (Aside). How long-winded he is!
ANS. (Coming back). I wish you to carry a present to the fair object of my desires. I will give you some money to buy her a ring, or any other trifle, as you may think will please her most.
MASC. No, there is no need of your money; without troubling yourself, I will make her a present; a fashionable ring has been left in my hands, which you may pay for afterwards, if it fits her.
ANS. Be it so; give it her in my name; but above all, manage matters in such a manner that she may still desire to make me her own.
