Act. V. Scen. I.

SYRUS. DEMEA.

TRuly, little Syrus, you have lookt to your self nicely, And performed your office daintily. Go thy way, but after I am stuff•• full of all things within, It is my pleasure to walk out abroad hither.

See and observe [line 5] That example of the good order they keep.

But behold here is Our old master. What is done? why are you sad?

Oh you rogue!

So, good-man wise-aker, are you now wasting your words here?

If you were my servant.

Trulie, Demea, you would have been a rich-man, And you would have bettered your estate.

I would have made thee to be [line 10] An example to all others.

Sy.

Why so? what have I done?

Dost tho•• ask? In the verie bustle, and in a verie great offence, Which is scarcely ended well enough, you have been tipling, you rogue, As it were in matter well done.

Truly I wish I had not come forth.
