ERostrato? marry he is in his skin. Ah whoreson boy, I say, how shall I find Erostrato? Find him? how mean you, by the week or by the year. You crack halter, if I catch you by the ears, I shall make you answer me directly. In deed? Tarry me a little. In faith sir I have no leisure. Shall we try who can run fastest? Your legs be longer than mine, you should have given me the advantage. Go to, tell me where is Erostrato? I left him in the street, where he gave me this Casket, this basket I would have said, and bade me bear it to Dalio, and return to him at the Duke's Palace. If thou see him, tell him I must needs speak with him immediately: or abide awhile, I will go seek him myself, rather than be suspected by going to his house. I Think if I had as many eyes as Argus, I could not have sought a man more narrowly in every street and every by lane, there are not many gentlemen, scholars, nor Merchants in the City of Ferrara, but I have met with them, except him, peradventure he is come home another way: but look where he cometh at the last. In good time have I spied my good master. For the love of God call me Dulipo, not master, maintain the credit that thou hast hitherto kept, and let me alone. Yet sir let me sometimes do my duty unto you, especially where nobody heareth. Yea, but so long the Parat useth to cry knap in sport, that at the last she calleth her master knave in earnest: so long you will use to call me master, that at the last we shall be heard. What news? Good. In deed? Yea excellent, we have as good as won the wager. Oh, how happy were I if this were true. Hear you me, yesternight in the evening I walked out, and found Pasiphilo, and with small entreating I had him home to supper, where by such means as I used, he became my great friend, and told me the whole order of our adversaries determination: yea and what Damon doth intend to do also, and hath promised me that from time to time, what he can espy he will bring me word of it. I can not tell whether you know him or no, he is not to trust unto, a very flattering and a lying knave. I know him very well, he can not deceive me, and this that he hath told me I know must needs be true. And what was it in effect? That Damon had purposed to give his daughter in marriage to this doctor, upon the dower that he hath proffered.
