SIMPLICITY.
Here is the right picture of that fellow that sits in the corner.[175]
Enter HOSPITALITY, while she is writing.
HOSPITALITY.
Lady, methinks you are busy.
CONSCIENCE.
I have done, sir. I was setting my hand to a letter to Lucre
for our friend Sincerity.
But I would Lady Love were here too.
HOSPITALITY.
She is at home with me; but, if it please, so much in her behalf
I will do.
CONSCIENCE.
I pray you[176] heartily, and it shall suffice the turn well enou'.
Good Simplicity, once more thy body do bow.
SIMPLICITY.
I think I shall serve[177] to be a washing-block for you. [Aside.
I would do it for you, but I am afraid yonder boy will mock me.
HOSPITALITY.
No; I warrant thee.
CONSCIENCE. Here, take thy letters, Sincerity; and I wish them prosperous to thee.[178]
SINCERITY.
I yield you most hearty thanks, my good lady.
