Go thy ways, and the devil wants a breeder thou Art for him, one spirit and herself are able to furnish Hell and it were unprovided; but I am glad I heard all I shall love hangings the better while I live: I perceive some good may be done behind 'em, But i'll acquaint my Lady Berinthia, Here's her chamber I observed: Madam, Madam Berinthia, whose's there? 'tis I Diego, I am Diego. Honest Diego, what good news, Ya e undone, undone lost, undone for ever; it is time now to be serious. Ha, Where's my Master Antonio's Letter. Here, where, ha, alas, I fear I have lost it. Alas you have undone yourself, and your sister, my Lady Catalina hath found it, and is mad with rage, and envy against you; I overheard your destruction, she hath showed it to Don Valasce, and hath plotted that he shall steal you away this night, the doors shall be lest open the hour after twelve. You amaze me, 'tis impossible. Do not cast away yourself, by incredulity, upon my life your fate is cast, nay more, worse than that. Worse? You must be poisoned too, oh she's a cunning devil, and she will carry it so, that Valasco shall be suspected for your death, what will you do? I am overcome with amazement? Madam remember with what noble love my Master Antonio does honour you, and now both save yourself, and make him happy, how. I am lost man. Fear not, I will engage my life for your safety, Seem not to have knowledge or suspicion, be careful What you receive, lest you be poisoned, leave the Rest to me, I have a crotchet in my pate shall spoil Their music, and prevent all danger I warrant you, By any means be smooth, and pleasant, the devils A knave, your sisters a Traitor, my Master is your noble Friend, I am your honest servant, and Valasco shall Shake his ears like an animal. It is not to be hoped for. Then cut of my ears, slit my nose, and make a devil of me, shall I about it say, 'tis done. Any thing thou art honest, heaven be near, Still to my innocence, I am full of fear. Spur cut and away then. Scarabeo. Sir. Is the door tongue tide, screw yourself half out at one of the crevices, and give me notice what patient approaches me. I can run through the key hole sir. This fucus bears A lively tincture, oh the check must blush That wears it, their deceived that say Art is the ape of nature. Sir. Who is't? My Ladies apron-strings, Mistress Ansilva her chambermaid. Admit her. How now raw head and bloody bones, where's the Doctor Sharkino? oh here he is. How does your virtuous Lady. In good health sir. Where's the Fucus, and the Powder. All is prepared here.
