Scene IIIA streetEnter Sebastian and AntonioSebastianI would not by my will have troubled you; But, since you make your pleasure of your pains, I will no further chide you.AntonioI could not stay behind you: my desire, 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, Unguided and unfriended, often prove Rough and unhospitable: my willing love, The rather by these arguments of fear, Set forth in your pursuit.SebastianMy kind Antonio, 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? Shall we go see the reliques of this town?AntonioTo-morrow, sir: best first go see your lodging.SebastianI am not weary, and ’tis long to night: I pray you, let us satisfy our eyes With the memorials and the things of fame That do renown this city.AntonioWould 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, That were I ta’en here it would scarce be answer’d.SebastianBelike you slew great number of his people.AntonioThe offence is not of such a bloody nature; Albeit the quality of the time and quarrel Might well have given us bloody argument. 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.SebastianDo not then walk too open.AntonioIt 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 With viewing of the town: there shall you have me.SebastianWhy I your purse?AntonioHaply your eye shall light upon some toy You have desire to purchase; and your store, I think, is not for idle markets, sir.SebastianI’ll be your purse-bearer and leave you For an hour.AntonioTo the Elephant.SebastianI do remember.Exeunt
