[Enter APEMANTUS and Fool]
CAPHIS Stay, stay, here comes the fool with Apemantus:
let's ha' some sport with 'em.
Varro's Servant Hang him, he'll abuse us.
Isidore's Servant A plague upon him, dog!
Varro's Servant How dost, fool?
APEMANTUS Dost dialogue with thy shadow?
Varro's Servant I speak not to thee.
APEMANTUS No,'tis to thyself.
[To the Fool]
Come away.
Isidore's Servant There's the fool hangs on your back already.
APEMANTUS No, thou stand'st single, thou'rt not on him yet.
CAPHIS Where's the fool now?
APEMANTUS He last asked the question. Poor rogues, and
usurers' men! bawds between gold and want!
All Servants What are we, Apemantus?
APEMANTUS Asses.
All Servants Why?
APEMANTUS That you ask me what you are, and do not know
yourselves. Speak to 'em, fool.
Fool How do you, gentlemen?
All Servants Gramercies, good fool: how does your mistress?
Fool She's e'en setting on water to scald such chickens
as you are. Would we could see you at Corinth!
APEMANTUS Good! gramercy.

Fool Look you, here comes my mistress' page.
Page [To the Fool] Why, how now, captain! what do you
in this wise company? How dost thou, Apemantus?
APEMANTUS Would I had a rod in my mouth, that I might answer
thee profitably.
