_Will._ So would I, but tell me, how came you againe? _Wit._ I will tell thee. When I had beene within, and without, and heard such sweete harmony, of such singular musicke; at last, I came downe into the base court, led by Favour, to a lodging which was called the counting house; there sate Memorie, to take the names of such as had bin entertained, and meant to seeke favour, at the hands of happie Fame. But as I was going through the court, I met one of the maides of honour attendaunt upon the princesse, whose name (Favour told me) was Belezza, accompanied with Gentilezza, another of the maides. Now, as I was walking, I stared so earnestly on them, that (not looking to my feete) I stumbled against a stone, and with the fall I awaked: now awake, I thought of my good Will; and see how soone it was my happe to meete with thee; but no sooner then I wished for thee, nor then I am heartily glad of thee. _Will._ Gramercy, Wit. But yet I beshrow thee. _Wit._ Why so? _Will._ For loosing mee. _Wit._ Thou mightest have followed. _Will._ You might have held me. _Wit._ When? _Will._ When I was neere you. _Wit._ Where was that? _Will._ Where you lost me.

Care is to be had in all things, at all times, and in all places; well, thou hast knowne some sorrowe; learne to leave selfe judgement; follow friend, go with me. _Will._ Why? I would never have lost thee, but-- _Wit._ But that thou wert wearie of me. _Will._ Why? I was not wearie, but-- _Wit._ No, but that you were a wanton. _Will._ Why? I was not a wanton, but-- _Wit._ No, but that you were wilfull. _Will._ Why? I was not wilfull, but-- _Wit._ No, but that you thought better of your selfe than any else. _Will._ Why? but I did not thinke so, but-- _Wit._ Nay, you may say you would not have thought so, but--
