Yea, I pray you knock. They hear not. Knock again. I think they be on sleep. If this gate were your grandfather's soul, you could not knock more softly, let me come: ho, ho, is there anybody within? WHat devil of hell is there? I think he will break the gates in pieces. Marie fir, we had thought you had been on sleep within, and therefore we thought best to make you: what doth Erostrato? He is not within. Open the door good fellow I pray thee. If you think to lodge here, you are deceived I tell you, for here are guests enough already. A good fellow, and much for thy masters honesty by our Lady: and what guests I pray thee? Here is Philogano my masters father, lately come out of Sicilia. Thou speakest truer than thou art aware of, he will be, by that time thou hast opened the door: open I pray thee heartily. It is a small matter for me to open the door, but here is no lodging for you, I tell you plain, the house is full. Of whom? I told you: here is Philogano my masters father come from Cathanea. And when came he? He came three hours since, or more, he alighted at the Angel, and left his horses there: afterward my master brought him hither. Good fellow, I think thou hast good sport to mock me. Nay, I think you have good sport to make me tarry here, as though I have nothing else to do: I am matched with an unruly mate in the kitchen, I will go look to him another while. I think he be drunken. Sure he seems so: see you not how red he is about the gills? Abide fellow, what Philogano is it whom thou talkest of? An honest gentleman, father to Erostrato my master. And where is he? Here within. May we see him? I think you may if you be not blind. Go to, go tell him here is one would speak with him. marry that I will willingly do. I can not tell what I should say to this gear, Litio what thinkest thou of it? I cannot tell you what I should say sir, the world is large and long, there may be more Philoganos and more Erostratos than one, yea and more Ferrara's, more Sicilias, and more Cathaneas: peradventure this is not that Ferrara which you sent your son unto. Peradventure thou art a fool, and he was another that answered us even now. But be you sure honest man, that you mistake not the house? Nay, than god help, think you I know not Erostratos house? yes, and himself also: I saw him here no longer since than yesterday: but here comes one that will tell us tidings of him. I like his countenance better than the others that answered at the window erewhile.
