PHIL. and TYND. But we are ashamed, because we are in bonds.
SLAVE. But in the result it might cause vexation to our master, if he were to release you from chains, or allow you to be loose, whom he has purchased with his money.
PHIL. and TYND. What does he fear from us? We know our duty, what it is, if he allows us to be loose.
SLAVE. Why, you are meditating escape. I know what it is you are devising.
PHIL. and TYND. We, make our escape? Whither should we escape?
SLAVE. To your own country. PHIL. and TYND. Out upon you; it would ill befit us to be following the example of runaways.
SLAVE. Why, faith, should there be an opportunity, I don't advise you not.
PHIL. and TYND. Do you allow us to make one request.
SLAVE. What is it, pray? PHIL. and TYND. That you will give us an opportunity of conversing, without these and yourselves for overlookers.
SLAVE. Be it so; go you away from here, you people. Let's step here, on one side. (To the other CAPTIVES and SLAVES.) But commence upon a short conversation only.
