AMADINE.
I will disguised wander through the world,
Till I have found him out.
MUCEDORUS.
How, if you find your shepherd in these woods?
AMADINE.
Ah, none so happy then as Amadine.
MUCEDORUS.
In tract of time a man may alter much:
Say, lady, do you know your shepherd well?
[He discloseth himself.]
AMADINE.
My Mucedorus, hath he set me free?
MUCEDORUS.
He hath set thee free.
AMADINE.
And lived so long unknown to Amadine?
MUCEDORUS.
Ay, that’s a question whereof you mayn’t be resolved.
You know that I am banish’d from the court,
I know likewise each passage is beset,
So that we cannot long escape unknown,
Therefore my will is this, that we return,
Right through the thickets, to the wild man’s cave,
And there a while live on’s provision,
Until the search and narrow watch be past.
This is my counsel, and I think it best.
AMADINE.
I think the very same.
