Act. IV. Scen. III.

MITIO. HEGIO.

M.

I Finde nothing in this matter, Hegio, why I should be so much c••mended, I do but my duty, I amend what we have done a••••sse. Vnlesse you think me to be one of those men, who think thus That they have an injurie done them, if they have done one themselves wilfullie, they themselves complain, [line 5]

And cry whore first, because I have not done so, you give me thanks.

Heg.

Ah no, I never thought you to be otherwise then you are: But, I pray you, Mitio, go with me to the maids mother, And tell the woman your self those very same things which you told me; That this suspition is for his brother and the singing wench.

M.

[line 10] If you think fitting so, or if it be needful to be done, let us go.

Heg.

You do well: For you will both ease her heart, who wasteth away with grief And miserie, and you will discharge the dutie of an honest man as you are; but if you be minded otherwise, I my self will tell her, what you have told me.

M.

Nay, I will go.

H.

You do well. All people, with whom the world goeth not very well, are more supiti∣ous; I know not how, [line 15] They take all things the rather as affronts done to them; They always think they are neglected for their infirmitie Wherefore it is more pacifying for you to excuse your self to her face to face.

M.

You say well, and trulie.

H.

Follow me in then this way.

M.

Yes.
