SCENE VI.

Chapter 58123 wordsPublic domain

_Enter_ EPHORBAS _and_ LIBACER.

EPH. What was his answer, then?

LIB. "Tell him, I am resolv'd I will not come," Those were the very words, sir.

EPH. 'Twas very pretty [And] resolute, methinks. If he be grown So stubborn already, the next we must expect Is action.

LIB. But yet he bids me, if you Ask'd why he came not, to find some excuse or other.

EPH. He could find none himself then? Call in The lords: we must be sudden in our execution. But prythee, one thing more: who was there with him?

LIB. Nobody; But I met going to him young Inophilus; And heard one servant tell another in great haste, Their lord would speak with some o' the captains o' the army.

[_Exit._
