_Enter Motto, Raphe bringing in Alberdure_.
_Motto_. So, sir, lay even downe your handie worke.
_Rap_. Nay, sir, your handie worke, for you were the cause of his
drowning.
_Mot_. I? I defie thee. Wert not thou next him when he leapt into the
River?
_Rap_. O monstrous lyar!
_Mot_. Lye! you peasant, go too: Ile go tell the Duke.

_Alb_. What sodain cold is this that makes me shake,
Whose veines even now were fill'd with raging fire?
How am I thus all wet? What water's this
That lies so ycelike, freezing in my blood?
I thinke the cold of it hath cur'd my heate,
For I am better temperd than before.
But in what unacquainted place am I?
0 where is my _Hyanthe_, where's _Leander_?
What, all alone? nothing but woods and streames?
I cannot guesse whence these events should grow.
_Enter Peasant_.
_Pea_. O that I could lose my way for another cup, now. I was well paide
for it yfaith.
_Alb_. Yonder is one; Ile enquire of him. Fellow, ho! peasant!
_Pea_. Aie me, the mad man againe, the mad man.
_Alb_. Saie, whither fliest thou.
_Pea_. Pray, let me goe, sir; I am not _Hyanthe_, in truth I am not,
sir.
_Alb_. _Hyanthe_, villaine? wherfore namest thou her?
_Pea_. If I have any scarres in my belly, pray God I starve, sir.
_Alb_. The wretch is mad, I thinke.
_Pea_. Not I, sir, but you be not madde, you are well amended, sir.
_Alb_. Why tellest thou me of madnesse?
_Pea_. You were little better then mad even now, sir, when you gave me
such a twitch by the beard.
_Alb_. I can remember no such thing, my friend.
_Pea_. No, sir, but if you had a beard you wold.
_Alb_. What place is this? how far am I from court?
_Pea_. Some two myles and a wye byt, sir.
_Alb_. I wonder much my friends have left me thus. Peazant, I pray thee
