PANT HINO

voyage; and, in losing thy [40] voyage, lose thy master; and, in losing thy
master, lose thy service; and, in losing thy service - Why dost thou stop
my mouth?
LAUNCE
For fear thou shouldst lose thy tongue.
PANT HINO
Where should I lose my tongue? [45]
LAUNCE
In thy tale.
PANT HINO
In my tail!
LAUNCE
Lose the tide, and the voyage, and the master, and the service, and the
tied. Why, man, if the river were dry, I am able to fill it with my tears. If
the wind [50] were down, I could drive the boat with my sighs.
PANT HINO
Come, come away, man. I was sent to call thee.
LAUNCE
Sir, call me what thou darest.
PANT HINO
Wilt thou go? [55]
