Caric. What course shall aged Carcl•s now take After his weary travels? shall I here Resolve to lay my bones, and Egypt make The final period of my pilgrimage▪ No, I must bid Catadupice adieu So famous for these sluices of fair Nile, And since the surfeit which I took of sorrow For my dear daughters sad untimely death, Is well digested in this breast of mine, And change of air hath wrought a change of mind; I am resolved to stately Greece to wend And breath my last breath where I breathed my first, 'Tis so determined;— Enter Nebulo his man. Honest Nebulo, My man draw near, I'm in a humour now To change some words with thee;—so oftentimes— aside. We see wise men for recreations sake, ⟨image 3⟩Consult with Fools, and honest men with Knaves.— aside What course doth thy fond brain advise me to?
