Eur. Ere now we sit again,

I ask the prince once more if he persist

To vex our party with this beggar’s presence.

Tel. Press me not, lords, ye know my will: and how

In night and darkness should I turn away

A houseless guest? Nay, but for you ’tis time

Ye sought your lodges.

Ant. (to Eum.). Thou presumptuous swineherd,

Why drovest thou this nuisance to the town?

Had we not tramps and scamps eno’, starved beggars
