Expect me there then; but I cannot brook So long a time to see the Virgin masked In so obscure a manner. Now I cannot Stay to discover what I know of her; The Deputy of Egypt hath appointed This day for hearing of me: farewell both. Can you speak Greek my pretty sweet heart, can you? No, can you speak Egyptian? neither sweet? I'll undertake to teach her both the tongues So I may be her tutor. Nebulo Thou seest I have another daughter She shall be called fair Cariclea Derived from Caricles which is my name. Would I had such a daughter too, she should not Have then so course a name, all men should call her. The pretty Nebuletta; Nebulo, Then Nebulona, then neat Nebuletta, A sumptuous pedigree, how sweet it runs! Thy house would flourish then, were she thy daughter. Above the clouds, the gods would lodge themselves Beneath my roof, and pour down plenty on me In golden showers to rest in Danae's lap. What grown so high conceited Nebulo? Something inspired my brain, I know not what sir, But now i'm come unto myself again, 'Twas but a toy that took me. I believe it, Many such toys do take thee in the head: Get me a mask, I must convey this damsel Muffled home to my house. She need not be Ashamed to show her face, it may procure her A husband by the way for ought you know; You shall but wrong her much in doing so. Sirrah away, dispute no more, but do it. 'Tis pity faith methinks to use her thus, 'Tis such a pretty thing. Come you must go With me my daughter dear where you shall be Used and respected as my native child: When I have understood (hark Nebulo Her's news for thee) by good Sysimethres My daughters further state, we'll hie forthwith To Greece and Delphos, and put on again My first religious habit; to your shrines Ye gods we'll offer sanctified minds. When sawest thou Cnemon, Thisbe? Know you not That Pallas high feast called Quinquatria This day was celebrated here in Athens, One with a ship by land, (as is the manner) Was consecrated, Cnemon was employed, Clad in his robes, and on his head a crown, To sing the usual hymn due to her praise I saw him busy in the ceremonies. Is this the day? by Iove I knew it not, Else had I been spectator of the sight, Chiefly to see my Cnemon in his office, Could I be angry with him, I should chide him For not acquainting me. He did it neatly; I would not for my maidenhead have missed So rare a sight, not for ten maidenheads. Are all the rites and ceremonies done? I fain would see yet the conclusion.
