Actus tertii, Scena prima.
Enter Aristippus solus in a melancholy humour.
Aristip. How have I played the fool and robbed my self• In hasty passion of my only son; Repentance when it comes too late doth argue An inconsiderate judgment; O my Cnemon Would thou hadst killed me ere I banished thee, For death is better sure then banishment; Near shall I see my boy, well for this fault I will do penance, penance on my self; Athens adieu and all the City pleasures Forsake me quite; my solitary manor Far in the country where no people comes Shall be my habitation day and night Where I will eat my heart out. Exit Aristippus.
