ould they dispatch me quickly. Ant. Fare you well; We shall find time, I doubt not, to repeal Your banishment. Lodo. I am ever bound to you. This is the world's alms; pray make use of it. Great men sell sheep, thus to be cut in pieces, When first they have shorn them bare, and sold their fleeces. [Exeunt SCENE II Enter Brachiano, Camillo, Flamineo, Vittoria Brach. Your best of rest. Vit. Unto my lord the duke, The best of welcome. More lights: attend the duke. [Exeunt Camillo and Vittoria. Brach. Flamineo. Flam. My lord. Brach. Quite lost, Flamineo. Flam.
