Oh! that's lucky; there he is. Come hither, cursed hangdog! (MASC: What is the matter?) You serpent's tongue! so full of lies! dare you fasten your stings on Celia, and slander the most consummate virtue that ever added lustre to misfortune? (MASC:. Gently; I told him so on purpose.) No, no; none of your winking, and none of your jokes. I am blind and deaf to all you do or say. If it were my own brother he should pay dear for it; for to dare defame her whom I adore is to wound me in the most tender part. You make all these signs in vain. What was it you said to him?
