SECOND COUNTRYMAN. Mind how thou callest me names, thou booby!
FIRST COUNTRYMAN (_tearing off Second Countryman's ring and throwing it over the wall_). Silly goose! SECOND COUNTRYMAN. I will now depart for my home. I do not desire thy company. FIRST COUNTRYMAN. I likewise will return, and likewise I wish to journey alone. [_They take up their blankets and discover the gourds._] FIRST COUNTRYMAN. Eh? SECOND COUNTRYMAN. Eh? FIRST COUNTRYMAN. Let us tie them around our ankles. We may then discover whether we are ourselves. [_They tie the gourds around their ankles._] SECOND COUNTRYMAN (_joyfully_). I am myself! FIRST COUNTRYMAN (_joyfully_). And I am myself! SECOND COUNTRYMAN. Come, let us journey back together. [_They go out. Pause. Enter the_ WAGS. _They remain at entrance, not knowing Countrymen have gone._] |
