Scene II.

Enter Syrus .

Syrus. Oh Sir! your brother has dispatch'd me to you To beg you'd not go further off.

Dem. Who's there? - What, honest Syrus! save you: how is't with you? How goes it?

Syrus. Very well, Sir.

Dem. (aside.) Excellent! Now for the first time, I, against my nature, Have added these three phrases, "Honest Syrus! - How is't? - How goes it?" - (To Syrus .) You have prov'd yourself A worthy servant. I'll reward you for it.

Syrus. I thank you, Sir.

Dem. I will, I promise you; And you shall be convinc'd on't very soon.
