[_Enter the_ WAGS.]
FIRST COUNTRYMAN (_joyfully_). Here come those who will know whether we are ourselves! [_The Wags pretend not to know the Countrymen who are bowing before them. They pass on._] SECOND COUNTRYMAN. Stop, good sirs! FIRST COUNTRYMAN. A word with thee! [_The Wags stop._] SECOND COUNTRYMAN. Dost thou not know us? FIRST WAG. I have not that pleasure. FIRST COUNTRYMAN. Thou didst talk with us but yester-eve! SECOND WAG. Some mistake, I fear, my good man. [_The Wags start off._] SECOND COUNTRYMAN (_weeping_). Wait! I pray thee, wait! (_The Wags stop._) Canst thou not tell us who we are? |
