Pinac. This I suspected ever.
Come, come, uncase; we have no more use of you;
Your clothes must back again.

Mariana. Sir, you shall pardon me;
’Tis not our English use to be degraded.
If you will visit me, and take your venture,
You shall have pleasure for your properties;
And so, sweetheart—

[Exit.

Mir. Let her go, and the devil go with her!
We have never better luck with these preludiums.
Come, be not daunted; think she’s but a woman,
And let her have the devil’s wit, we’ll reach her!

[Exeunt.

SCENE II.—A Grove near Nantolet’s House.

Enter Rosalura and Lugier.

Ros. You have now redeem’d my good opinion, tutor,
And you stand fair again.

Lug. I can but labour,
And sweat in your affairs. I am sure Belleur
Will be here instantly, and use his anger,
His wonted harshness.

Ros. I hope he will not beat me.

Lug. No, sure, he has more manners. Be you ready!

Ros. Yes, yes, I am; and am resolved to fit him,
With patience to out-do all he can offer.
But how does Oriana?

Lug. Worse, and worse still;
There is a sad house for her; she is now,
Poor lady, utterly distracted.

Ros. Pity!
Infinite pity! ’Tis a handsome lady.
That Mirabel’s a beast, worse than a monster,
If this affliction work not.

Enter Lillia Bianca.

Lil. Are you ready?
Belleur is coming on, here, hard behind me:
I have no leisure to relate my fortune;
Only I wish you may come off as handsomely.
Upon the sign you know what.

[Exit.

Ros. Well, well; leave me!

Enter Belleur.

Bel. How now?

Ros. You are welcome, sir.

Bel. ’Tis well ye have manners!
That court’sy again, and hold your countenance staidly!
That look’s too light; take heed! so, sit ye down now;
And to confirm me that your gall is gone,
Your bitterness dispersed (for so I’ll have it)
Look on me steadfastly, and, whatsoe’er I say to you,
Move not, nor alter in your face; you are gone then!
For if you do express the least distaste,
Or show an angry wrinkle (mark me, woman!
We are now alone) I will so conjure thee,
The third part of my execution
Cannot be spoke.

Ros. I am at your dispose, sir.
