Music. Tables set out: Servants attending. Enter divers Lords, Senators and others, at several doors.[2276]
First Lord. The good time of day to you, sir.[2277]
Sec. Lord. I also wish it to you. I think this honourable[2278]
lord did but try us this other day.
First Lord. Upon that were my thoughts tiring when[2279]
we encountered: I hope it is not so low with him as he 5
made it seem in the trial of his several friends.
Sec. Lord. It should not be, by the persuasion of his
new feasting.
First Lord. I should think so: he hath sent me an
earnest inviting, which many my near occasions did urge 10
me to put off; but he hath conjured me beyond them, and
I must needs appear.
Sec. Lord. In like manner was I in debt to my importunate
business, but he would not hear my excuse. I am
sorry, when he sent to borrow of me, that my provision 15
was out.
First Lord. I am sick of that grief too, as I understand
how all things go.
Sec. Lord. Every man here's so. What would he have[2280]
borrowed of you? 20
First Lord. A thousand pieces.
