Sil.
Have done, have done; here comes the gentleman.

Val.
Welcome, dear Protheus: mistress, I beseech you
Confirm this welcome with some special favour.

Sil.
His worth is warrant for his welcome hither,
If this be he you oft have wish'd to hear from.

Val.
Mistress, it is: Sweet lady, entertain him
To be my fellow-servant to your ladyship.

Sil.
Too low a mistress for so high a servant.

Pro.
Not so, sweet lady; but too mean a servant
To have a look of such a worthy mistress.

Val.
Leave off discourse of disability:
Sweet lady entertain him for your servant.

Pro.
My duty will I boast of, nothing else.

Sil.
And duty never yet did want his meed:
Servant you're welcome to a worthless mistress.

Pro.
I'll die on him that says so but your self.

Sil.
That you are welcome?

Pro.
That you are worthless.

Thu.
Madam, my lord your father would speak with you.

Sil.
I wait upon his pleasure; come, Sir Thurio,
Go with me. Once more my new servant, welcome:
I'll leave you to confer of home affairs;
When you have done, we look to hear from you.

Pro.
We'll both attend upon your ladyship. [Ex. Sil. and Thu.
