Actus secundi Scena quarta.
Thisbe my love, we must act closely, and with great circumspection, lest we be discovreed by the mischievous De∣meneta, who (as thou say'st) hates me more now than she lov'd me before.
You talke simply Cnemon, if you count it a dangerous matter for me being a bond-maid, bought with money, to be taken a bed with you; what punishment thinke you her wor∣thy, who is a free-woman, and lawfully married to a husband, yet playeth false, and beareth a man too many.
I judge her worthy of death, but who is the person, prethee?
Your vertuous stepmother, my Mistresse Demeneta, now you may be reveng'd upon her by discovering it to your father Aristippus.
To confirme my report (if you please) I will deliver the adulterer unto you in the very act.
VVith all my heart, not onely for your sake who have been injured by her before, but for mine owne also, who, for that she hath me in jealousie, am used of her very extreamely, wherefore if thou be a man apprehend him.
