Troth now, for sure, he wouldn’t budge a foot from her if she would let him, who is now in such haste, and is threatening that he’s going away from her.
LIBANUS
(apart.)
Now make an end of your talk, that I may catch his discourse.
ARGYRIPPUS
Farewell!
PHILENIUM
Whither are you hastening?
ARGYRIPPUS
Kindly fare you well! I shall see you in the other world[*]. For indeed now, so soon as I can, I shall sever myself from life.
PHILENIUM
Prithee, why, while I do not deserve it, do you wish to consign me to death?
ARGYRIPPUS
I—you? whom, if I were to hear that you were in want of life, at once would I
present you my own life, and from my own would add to yours.
PHILENIUM
Why, then, do you threaten that you will quit life? For what do you suppose that I shall do, if you do that which you are talking of? I’m determined to do everything exactly the same to myself that you do to yourself.
ARGYRIPPUS
O! sweeter than honey are you to me.
PHILENIUM
And surely you are my life. Embrace me.
ARGYRIPPUS
I do so with pleasure.
(They embrace.)
PHILENIUM
Would that thus we might be carried to the tomb.
LEONIDA
(apart.)
O Libanus, how wretched is the man that loves.
LIBANUS
(apart.)
Aye, but surely, faith, the man that’s hanging up[*] is much more wretched.
LEONIDA
(apart.)
I know that, who have had experience of it. Let’s go round them: let’s accost them, one on the one side, one on the other.
(One walks towards them from each side.)
LIBANUS
Health to you, master. But is this female, smoke, that you are embracing?
