Volume I Part 74 (1/2)

_Alon._ I fear it. Oh, had she not been honest!

What Joy, what Heaven of Joys she would distribute!

With such a Face, and Shape, a Wit, and Mein-- But as she is, I know not what to do.

_Lov._ You cannot marry her.

_Alon._ I would not willingly, tho I think I'm free: For _Pedro_ went to _Marcel_ to tell him I was arriv'd, and would wait on him; but was treated more like a Spy, than a Messenger of Love: They sent no Answer back, which I tell you, _Lovis_, angers me: 'twas not the Entertainment I expected from my brave Friend _Marcel_. But now I am for the fair Stranger who by this expects me.

_Mar._ 'Tis _Alonzo_. O how he animates my Rage, and turns me over to Revenge, upon _Hippolyta_ and her false Lover!

[Aside.

_Lov._ Who's this that walks before us? [They go out.

_Alon._ No matter who.

_Mar._ I am follow'd. [They enter again.

_Lov._ See, he stops. [_Marcel_ looks back.

_Alon._ Let him do what he please, we will out-go him.

[They go out.

_Lov._ This Man whoe'er he be still follows us.

_Alon._ I care not, nothing shall hinder my Design, I'll go tho I make my pa.s.sage thro his Heart.

[They enter at another Door, he follows.

_Lov._ See, he advances, pray stand by a little.

[They stand by.

_Mar._ Sure there's some Trick in this, but I'll not fear it. This is the Street, and hereabout's the House.

[Looks about.

This must be it, if I can get admittance now. [Knocks.

Enter _Olinda_ with a Light.

_Olin._ O, Sir, are you come? my Lady grew impatient.

[They go in.

_Mar._ She takes me for some other: This is happy.

[Aside.

_Alon._ G.o.ds! is not that the Maid that first conducted me to the fair thing that rob'd me of my Heart?

_Lov._ I think it is.

_Alon._ She gives admittance to another Man.

All Women-kind are false, I'll in and tell her so.

[Offers to go.
