Enter SEBASTIAN and ANTONIO SEBASTIAN       I would not by my will have troubled you;       But, since you make your pleasure of your pains,       I will no further chide you. ANTONIO       I could not stay behind you: my desire, 5     More sharp than filed steel, did spur me forth;       And not all love to see you, though so much       As might have drawn one to a longer voyage,       But jealousy what might befall your travel,       Being skilless in these parts; which to a stranger, 10    Unguided and unfriended, often prove       Rough and unhospitable: my willing love,       The rather by these arguments of fear,       Set forth in your pursuit. SEBASTIAN       My kind Antonio, 15    I can no other answer make but thanks,       And thanks; and ever oft good turns       Are shuffled off with such uncurrent pay:       But, were my worth as is my conscience firm,       You should find better dealing. What's to do? 20    Shall we go see the reliques of this town? ANTONIO       To-morrow, sir: best first go see your lodging. SEBASTIAN       I am not weary, and 'tis long to night:       I pray you, let us satisfy our eyes       With the memorials and the things of fame 25    That do renown this city. ANTONIO       Would you'ld pardon me;       I do not without danger walk these streets:       Once, in a sea-fight, 'gainst the count his galleys       I did some service; of such note indeed, 30    That were I ta'en here it would scarce be answer'd. SEBASTIAN       Belike you slew great number of his people. ANTONIO       The offence is not of such a bloody nature;       Albeit the quality of the time and quarrel       Might well have given us bloody argument. 35    It might have since been answer'd in repaying       What we took from them; which, for traffic's sake,       Most of our city did: only myself stood out;       For which, if I be lapsed in this place,       I shall pay dear. SEBASTIAN 40    Do not then walk too open. ANTONIO       It doth not fit me. Hold, sir, here's my purse.       In the south suburbs, at the Elephant,       Is best to lodge: I will bespeak our diet,       Whiles you beguile the time and feed your knowledge 45    With viewing of the town: there shall you have me. SEBASTIAN       Why I your purse? ANTONIO       Haply your eye shall light upon some toy       You have desire to purchase; and your store,       I think, is not for idle markets, sir. SEBASTIAN 50    I'll be your purse-bearer and leave you       For an hour. ANTONIO       To the Elephant. SEBASTIAN       I do remember. Exeunt Return to top of page ... or ... Go to next scene
