PHIL. Don't you be instructing me as to that; I can, still, easily bear
that in mind.
TYND. For, indeed, except that I have a keeper, I deem myself to be a
free man. Tell my father on what terms I have agreed with this party
about his son.
PHIL. What I remember, it is sheer delay to be putting me in mind of.
TYND. To redeem me, and to send him back here in exchange for both of
us.
PHIL. I'll remember it. HEG. But as soon as he can that is especially to
the interest of us both.
PHIL. You _are_ not more _anxious_ to see your son, than he
_is to see_ his.
HEG. My son is dear to myself, _and_ his own to every man.
PHIL. (_to_ TYNDARUS). Do you wish any other message to be carried
to your father?
TYND. _Say_ that I am well here; and do you boldly tell him,
Tyndarus, that we have been of dispositions for uninterrupted harmony
between ourselves, and that you have neither been deserving of censure,
nor that I have proved your enemy; and that still, amid miseries so
great, you have shown implicit obedience to your master, and that you
have never abandoned me, either in deed or in fidelity, amid my
wavering, unprosperous fortunes. When my father shall know this,
Tyndarus, how well-disposed you have proved towards his son and himself,
he will never be so avaricious but that he'll give you your liberty for
nothing. And by my own endeavours, if I return hence, I'll make him do
so the more readily.
