Ctesipho, Syrus.

Ctes. My father gone into the country, say you?

Syrus. Long since.

Ctes. Nay; speak the truth!

Syrus. He’s at his farm,

And hard at work, I warrant you.

Ctes. I wish,

So that his health were not the worse for it,

He might so heartily fatigue himself,

As to be forc’d to keep his bed these three days!
