Eph. Thou may'st be gone, Rinatus.

[Exit Rinatus.

SCENE III.

Ephorbas solus.

The blessing of an honest servant!
This Rinatus is truer unto me.
He loves the king as well as I Ephorbas;
And may I live but to reward him,
For he's too honest for a court.

Enter Artesio.

How now, Artesio? thy looks speak strong amazement;
I am with child to hear the news: prythee,
Be quick in the delivery.

Art. The prince, an't please your majesty——

Eph. What of him, Artesio?

Art. I have observ'd, is much retir'd of late.
