LEL. What…?
MASC. Kill yourself quick. You are a long while about it.
LEL. Upon my word, you would like me to play the fool and kill myself, so that you might get hold of my clothes.
MASC. I knew all this was nothing but a sham; whatever people may swear they will do, they are not so hasty now-a-days in killing themselves.
SCENE VIII.—TRUFALDIN, LEANDER, LELIO, MASCARILLE.
(Trufaldin taking Leander aside and whispering to him).
LEL. What do I see? my rival and Trufaldin together! He is going to buy
Celia. Oh! I tremble for fear.
MASC. There is no doubt that he will do all he can; and if he has money, he can do all he will. For my part I am delighted. This is a just reward for your blunders, your impatience.
LEL. What must I do? Advise me.
MASC. I don't know.
