Hippolytus: Why, that will I! else were I proved a fool.

Leader: Dost know, then, the way of the world?

Hippolytus: Not I; but wherefore such a question?

Leader: It hates reserve which careth not for all men's love.

Hippolytus: And rightly too; reserve in man is ever galling.

Leader: But there's a charm in courtesy?

Hippolytus: The greatest surely; aye, and profit, too, at trifling
cost.

Leader: Dost think the same law holds in heaven as well?

Hippolytus: I trow it doth, since all our laws we men from heaven
draw.
