CARISOPHUS. I handled him clerkly, I joined in talk with him courteously: But when we were entered, I let him speak his will, and I Suck’d out thus much of his words, that I made him say plainly, He was come hither to know the state of the city; And not only this, but that he would understand The state of Dionysius’ court and of the whole land. Which words when I heard, I desired him to stay, Till I had done a little business of the way. Promising him to return again quickly; and so did convey Myself to the court for Snap the tipstaff, which came and upsnatched him, Brought him to the court, and in the porter’s lodge dispatched him, After I ran to Dionysius, as fast as I could, And bewrayed this matter to him, which I have you told; Which thing when he heard, being very merry before, He suddenly fell in dump, and foaming like a boar, At last he swore in great rage, that he should die By the sword or the wheel, and that very shortly. I am too shamefast: for my travail and toil I crave nothing of Dionysius, but only his spoil: Little hath he about him, but a few motheaten crowns of gold, Cha pouch’d them up already, they are sure in hold: And now I go into the city, to say sooth, To see what he hath at his lodging to make up my mouth.[54] ARISTIPPUS. My Carisophus, you have done good service, But what is the spy’s name? CARISOPHUS. He is called Damon, born in Greece, from whence lately he came. ARISTIPPUS. By my troth, I will go see him, and speak with him too, if I may. CARISOPHUS. Do so, I pray you; but yet by the way, As occasion serveth, commend my service to the king. ARISTIPPUS. _Dictum sapienti sat est_: friend Carisophus, shall I forget that thing? No, I warrant you: though I say little to your face, I will lay on with my mouth for you to Dionysius,[55] when I am in place. [_Aside_] If I speak one word for such a knave, hang me. [_Exit._
