_Actus primus. Scena prima_.
_Enter_ Rutilio, _and_ Arnold[o].
_Rut._ Why do you grieve thus still?
_Arn._ 'Twould melt a Marble,
And tame a Savage man, to feel my fortune.
_Rut._ What fortune? I have liv'd this thirty years,
And run through all these follies you call fortunes,
Yet never fixt on any good and constant,
But what I made myself: why should I grieve then
At that I may mould any way?
_Arn._ You are wide still.
_Rut._ You love a Gentlewoman, a young handsom woman,
I have lov'd a thosand, not so few.
_Arn._ You are dispos'd.
_Rut._ You hope to Marry her; 'tis a lawful calling
And prettily esteem'd of, but take heed then,
Take heed dear Brother of a stranger fortune
Than e're you felt yet; fortune my foe is a friend to it.
_Arn._ 'Tis true I love, dearly, and truly love,
A noble, vertuous, and most beauteous Maid,
And am belov'd again.
