Why, did she tell you so? Yea: But I thought it but a tale. Well, it is a true tale: and here they will be with you by and by, both Philogano this worthy man, and master doctor Cleander. Cleander? what to do? Cleander? Why thereby lies another tale, the most fortunate adventure that ever you heard: wot you what? this other Dulipo, whom all this while we supposed to be Erostrato, is found to be the son of Cleander, whom he lost at the loss of Otranto, and was after sold in Sicilia to this Philogano, the strangest case that ever you heard: a man might make a Comedy of it, they will come even straight, and tell you the whole circumstance of it themselves. Nay I will first go hear the story of this Dulipo, be it Dulipo or Erostrato that I hear within, before I speak with Philogano. So shall you do well sir, I will go tell them that they may stay a while, but look where they come. SIr, you shall not need to excuse the matter any further, since I have received no greater injury than by words: let them pass like wind, I take them well in worth, and am rather well pleased than offended, for it shall both be a good warning to me another time how to trust every man at the first sight, yea, and I shall have good game hereafter to tell this pleasant story another day in mine own country. Gentleman, you have reason, and be you sure, that as many as hear it, will take great pleasure in it, and you Philogano may think, that god in heaven above, hath ordained your coming hither at this present, to the end I might recover my lost son, whom by no other means I could ever have found out. Surely sir I think no less, for I think that not so much as a leaf falleth from the tree, without the ordinance of god. But let us go seek Damon, for methinketh every day a year, every hour a day, and every minute to much till I see my Erostrato. I cannot blame you, go we then, Carino take you that gentleman home in the mean time, the fewer the better to be present at such affairs. master doctor, will you not show me this favour, to tell me the cause of your displeasure? Gentle Pasiphilo, I must needs confess I have done thee wrong, and that I believed tales of thee, which in deed I find now contrary. I am glad then that it proceeded rather of ignorance than of malice. Yea believe me Pasiphilo. O sir, but yet you should not have given me such foul words. Well, content thyself Pasiphilo, I am thy friend as I have always been: for proof whereof, come sup with me to night, and from day to day this seven night be thou my guest: but behold, here cometh Damon out of his house.

Why, did she tell you so? Yea: But I thought it but a tale. Well, it is a true tale: and here they will be with you by and by, both Philogano this worthie man, and maister doctor Cleander. Cleander? what to doe? Cleander? Why therby lies another tale, the moste fortunate aduenture that euer you heard: wot you what? this other Dulipo, whom all this while we supposed to be Erostrato, is founde to be the sonne of Cleander, whom he lost at the losse of Otranto, and was after solde in Sicilia to this Philogano, the strangest case that euer you heard: a mā might make a Comedie of it, they wil come euen straight, and tell you the whole circumstance of it themselues. Nay I will first goe heare the storie of this Dulipo, be it Dulipo or Erostrato that I heare within, before I speake with Philogano. So shall you doe well sir, I will goe tell them that they may stay a while, but loke where they come. SIr, you shall not nede to excuse the matter any further, since I haue receiued no greater iniurie than by words: let them passe like wind, I take them well in worthe, and am rather well pleased than offended, for it shall bothe be a good warning to me another time howe to trust euery man at the first sighte▪ yea, and I shall haue good game hereafter to tell this pleasant storye another day in mine owne countrey. Gentleman, you haue reason, and be you sure, that as many as heare it, will take great pleasure in it, and you Philogano may thinke, that god in heauen aboue, hath ordained your comming hither at this presente, to the ende I mighte rcouer my lost sonne, whom by no other meanes I could euer haue founde oute. Surely sir I thinke no lesse, for I thinke that not so muche as a leafe falleth from the tree, withoute the ordynance of god. But let vs goe seke Damon, for me thinketh euery day a yeare, euery houre a daye, and euery minute to much till I see my Erostrato. I cannot blame you, goe we then, Carino take you that gentleman home in the meane time, the fewer the better to be present at such affaires. MAister doctor, will you not shewme this fauour, to tell me the cause of your displeasure? Gentle Pasiphilo, I muste néedes confesse I haue done thée wrong, and that I beleued tales of thée, whiche in déede I finde now contrary.

Well, content thy selfe Pasiphilo, I am thy frende as I haue alwayes bene: for proofe whereof, come suppe with me to nighte, and from day to daye this seuen night be thou my guest: but beholde, hercommeth Damon out of his house.
