Volpone; Or, The Fox (Act 3 Scene 3.4)

ANOTHER PART OF THE SAME.

ENTER MOSCA AND CORVINO, CELIA FOLLOWING.

MOS
Death on me! you are come too soon, what meant you?
Did not I say, I would send?

CORV
Yes, but I fear'd
You might forget it, and then they prevent us.

MOS
[ASIDE.]: Prevent! did e'er man haste so, for his horns?
A courtier would not ply it so, for a place.
—Well, now there's no helping it, stay here;
I'll presently return.

[EXIT.]

CORV
Where are you, Celia?
You know not wherefore I have brought you hither?

CEL
Not well, except you told me.

CORV
Now, I will:
Hark hither.

[EXEUNT.]
