+Lio.+ I must confess, I have been a little vain that way, yet never so transported, but when I saw a handsomer in place, I could leave the former and cleave to the latter. I was ever constant to beauty. +Aur.+ Hold thee there still, and if there be a necessity at any time that thou must be mad, let it be a short fury, and away: let not this paltry love hang too long upon the file; be not deluded with delays; for if these she-creatures have once the predominance, there shall be no way to torture thee but they'll find it out, and inflict it without mercy: they'll work on thy disposition, and if thou hast any good-nature, they'll be sure to abuse thee extremely. +Lio.+ Speak you this in earnest? +Aur.+ I know not what you call earnest, but before I'll endure that life again, I'll bind myself to a carrier, look out any employment whatever, spend my hours in seeing motions and puppet-plays, rook at bowling-alleys, mould tales, and vent them at ordinaries, carry begging epistles, walk upon projects, transcribe fiddlers' ditties. +Lio.+ O monstrous! +Aur.+ But since I have tasted the sweetness of my freedom, thou dost not know what quickness and agility is infused into me. I feel not that weight was wont to clog me, wherever I went; I am all fire and spirit, as if I had been stripped of my mortality! I hear not my thoughts whisper to me, as they were wont--Such a man is your rival; There's an affront, call him to an account; Redeem your mistress's favour, Present her with such a gift, Wait her at such a place--none of these vanities. +Lio.+ You are happy, sir. _Enter +Duke+, +Petro+, and +Leonardo+._ +Pet.+ Come, gentles, follow me, I'll bring you to them: look you where they are! +Duke.+ Signior Lionel, I have traced much ground to inquire for you. +Lio.+ I rest engaged to you for your last night's love, sir. +Duke.+ And I for your good company. Did you ever see such a blind ruinous tippling-house as we made shift to find out? +Leo.+ Ay, and the people were as wretched in it: what a mist of tobacco flew amongst them! +Lio.+ And what a deluge of rheum! +Pet.+ If the house be so old as you speak of, 'twere good you brought my master into it, and then threw't atop of him; he would never desire to be better buried. +Duke.+ Well said, Petro. +Lio.+ Sir, if it be no trouble to you, I would entreat you know my worthy friend here. +Duke.+ You shall make me happy in any worthy acquaintance. +Pet.+ Well, Signior Lionel, you are beholden to these gentlemen for their good words unto your uncle for you: they spoke in your behalf as earnestly as e'er did lawyer for his client. +Lio.+ And what was the issue?
