Tit. We attend his lordship: pray, signify so much.
Flam. I need not tell him that; he knows you are too[2167]
diligent.[2167][2168] [Exit. 40
Enter Flavius in a cloak, muffled.[2169]
Luc. Serv. Ha! is not that his steward muffled so?
He goes away in a cloud: call him, call him.
Tit. Do you hear, sir?
Sec. Var. Serv. By your leave, sir,—[2170]
Flav. What do ye ask of me, my friend?[2171] 45
Tit. We wait for certain money here, sir.[2172]
Flav. Ay,
If money were as certain as your waiting,
'Twere sure enough.[2173]
Why then preferr'd you not your sums and bills,[2173]
When your false masters eat of my lord's meat?[2173][2174] 50
Then they could smile and fawn upon his debts[2173][2175]
And take down the interest into their gluttonous maws.[2173][2176]
You do yourselves but wrong to stir me up;[2173]
Let me pass quietly:[2173]
Believe't, my lord and I have made an end; 55
I have no more to reckon, he to spend.
Luc. Serv. Ay, but this answer will not serve.
