d if he be not too fool-hardy. _Enter_ Zabulon. _Sulp._ How now? What news with you? _Zab._ You must presently Shew all the art you have, and for my Lady. _Sulp._ She may command. _Zab._ You must not dream nor trifle. _Sulp._ Which way? _Zab._ A spell you must prepare, a powerful one, Peruse but these directions, you shall find all; There is the picture too, be quick, and faithful, And do it with that strength--when 'tis perform'd, Pitch your reward at what you please, you have it. _Sul._ I'le do my best, and suddenly: but hark ye, Will you never lye at home again? _Zab._ Excuse me, I have too much business yet. _Sulp._ I am right glad on't. _Zab._ Think on your business, so farewel. _Sulp._ I'le do it. _Zab._ Within this hour I'le visit you again And give you greater lights. _Sulp._ I shall observe ye; This brings a brave reward, bravely I'le do it, And all the hidden art I have, express in't.
