think so. _Leo_. Can ye guide me to him for half an hour? I am his To see the miracle. _1 Gent_. We sure shall start him. [_Exeunt._ _SCENA V._ _Enter Antigonus and Leucippe._ _Ant_. Are you sure she drank it? _Leu_. Now must I lye most confidently. Yes Sir, she has drunk it off. _Ant_. How works it with her? _Leu_. I see no alteration yet. _Ant_. There will be, For he is the greatest Artist living made it. Where is she now? _Leu_. She is ready to walk out, Sir. _Ant_. Stark mad, I know she will be. _Leu_. So I hope, Sir. _Ant_. She knows not of the Prince? _Leu_. Of no man living-- _Ant_. How do I look? how do my cloaths become me? I am not very grey. _Leu_.
