Luc.Ha! a passport: from whose hand?
Ep. A courtier gave it to me in lieu of money.
Luc. (aside). The copy I gave to Quintian.——
Was it Quintian?
Ep. No, sir. Ask not his name.
Luc.Tell me thy message;
Or if this book is all, what is thy price?
Ep. Sir, I was told this book, if given to Nero,
Would be thy death. ’Tis writ by thee?
Luc.It is.
