Pro. Don’t talk to me. Ha, that fellow’s gone, is he? He is not one to blab?
Ep. How should I know, my lord?
Pro. What’s his name?
Ep. Senecio.
Pro. Senecio, yes, of course: one of Nero’s intimates: and I called Tigellinus an old shrimper: ’twould cost me my life if he heard it.
Ep. No man is safe.1650

Ep. I am a Greek, my lord.
Pro. What’s that to serve thee?
