Disguise us at my lodging, and return
All in an hour. _Gra_. We have not made good preparation. _Salar_. We have not spoke us yet of torch-bearers.[61] _Sal_. 'Tis vile, unless it may be quaintly order'd; And better, in my mind, not undertook. _Lor_. 'Tis now but four o'clock; we have two hours To furnish us.-- _Enter_ LAUNCELOT _with a letter_. Friend Launcelot, what's the news? _Lau_. An it shall please you to break up this,[62] it shall seem to signify. _Lor_.
