Act IV. Scene 5.
Chremes, Pythias.
Ch.
ALas, in good truth, I am beguiled. The wine that I have drunk hath over-mastered me.
And while I sate at the table, how fine and sober I did think my self to be?
Since I have risen, neither my feet, nor my wit, do as they should do.
Py.
Chremes.
Ch.
Oh, Pythias. O how much fairer now
[line 5] Do you seem to me to be, then you did er••while?
P.
Truly, you are far more cheerful.
Ch.
Certoinly this is a true saying, Without meat and drink lust groweth cold. But Thais came long before.
Py.
Is she Gone from the souldiers already?
Ch.
Long ago, an age since, there was
A great contention betwixt them.
Py.
Did she say nothing then that you should follow her?
Ch.
[line 10] Nothing, but as she went away she beckned to me.
Py.
Why, was not that enough?
Ch.
But I did not know that she meant that, but the souldier righted me, which
I did not well understand, for he thrust me out of doors;
But 〈◊〉〈◊〉 I see her: I wonder where I got before her.
