GETA. DEMEA.

MIstris, I will go hence to these men and see, how soon they will fetch The maid. But see yonder is Demea, good morrow.

Oh what is your name?

Geta.

D.
Geta, in my minde I have judg'd youTo day to be a man of much worth; [line 5]  For he is to me indeed a sufficientlie tried servant,That hath a care of his master, as I see you have, Geta;And I will be readie with all my heart to do you a good turn,If occasion be offered. Ile try how courteous I can be,And it goes on well.

You are an honest man, seeing you think these things of me.

[line 10] I first make the vulgar-sort my own by little and little.
