LENTULO.
Wheresoever it is, I must seek out this gear,
I'll not lose my wager, that's certain.
Very well, sir; will you put me to pain?
PENULO.
Have I never a weapon?—I'll look—I pray thee, be content.
LENTULO.
You shall have your wager, sir, as it was meant.
PENULO.
Hold thy hands, good fellow: I'll do anything for thee.
I perceive a wise man of a fool overtaken may be.
LENTULO.
Thou blind gentleman! unless it be for my commodiosity,
I'll teach thee to be blind, and go so bravely.
PENULO.
I'll do anything for thee, if thou strike me no more,
Because I perceive thou art almost as poor
As myself am, and yet there is somewhat in thee:
I'll prefer thee to a service in the Court presently.
LENTULO.
Ha! wilt thou do so?
PENULO.
That I will.
LENTULO.
Wilt thou do so, indeed?
Swear to me by thy ten commandments in thy creed.
PENULO.
I do so.
