SCENE I. _Without the Florentine camp._ _Enter_ Second French Lord, _with five or six other_ Soldiers _in ambush._ _Sec. Lord._ He can come no other way but by this hedge-corner. When you sally upon him, speak what terrible language you will: though you understand it not yourselves, no matter; for we must not seem to understand him, unless some one among us whom we must produce 5 for an interpreter. _First Sold._ Good captain, let me be the interpreter. _Sec. Lord._ Art not acquainted with him? knows he not thy voice? 10 _First Sold._ No, sir, I warrant you. _Sec. Lord._ But what linsey-woolsey hast thou to speak to us again? _First Sold._ E'en such as you speak to me. _Sec. Lord._ He must think us some band of strangers i' the adversary's entertainment. Now he hath a smack of 15 all neighbouring languages; therefore we must every one be a man of his own fancy, not to know what we speak one to another; so we seem to know, is to know straight our purpose: choughs' language, gabble enough, and good enough. As for you, interpreter, you must seem very politic. But 20 couch, ho! here he comes, to beguile two hours in a sleep, and then to return and swear the lies he forges. _Enter_ PAROLLES. _Par._ Ten o'clock: within these three hours 'twill be time enough to go home. What shall I say I have done? It must be a very plausive invention that carries it: they 25 begin to smoke me; and disgraces have of late knocked too often at my door. I find my tongue is too foolhardy; but my heart hath the fear of Mars before it and of his creatures, not daring the reports of my tongue. _Sec. Lord._ This is the first truth that e'er thine own 30 tongue was guilty of.
