What we took from them, which for traffic’s sake
Most of our city did. Only myself stood out, [35]
For which, if I be lapsed in this place,
I shall pay dear.

SEBASTIAN
Do not then walk too open.

ANTONIO
It doth not fit me. Hold, sir, here’s my purse.
In the south suburbs, at the Elephant,
Is best to lodge: I will bespeak our diet, [40]
Whiles you beguile the time, and feed your knowledge

With viewing of the town: there shall you have me.

SEBASTIAN
Why I your purse?

ANTONIO
Haply your eye shall light upon some toy
You have desire to purchase: and your store, [45]
I think, is not for idle markets, sir.

SEBASTIAN
I’ll be your purse-bearer, and leave you for

An hour.

ANTONIO
To th’Elephant.

SEBASTIAN
I do remember.

Exeunt (separately).
