Cri. Soon as you see this false Antonio
Come near your doors, with speeches made of purpose,
Full of humility and compassion;
With long narrations, how he 'scap'd from shipwreck,
And other feign'd inventions of his dangers,
Bid him begone; and if he press to enter,
Fear not the reverence of your father's looks;
Cudgel him thence.
Lel. But were't not better, Cricca,
Keep him fast lock'd, till his own shape return;
And so by open course of law correct him.
Cri. No. For my master would conceive that counsel
Sprung from my brains, and so should I repent it.
Advise no more, but home, and charge your people
That, if Antonio come, they drive him thence
With threat'ning words—and blows, if need be.
Lel. 'Tis done.
I kiss your hands, Eugenio.
Eug. Your servant, sir.
[Exit Lelio.
