I'll wait upon my mother. Look to my daughters, lest this change work on them. They are my charge. Be not dejected Patrick, we do mean All good to thee: set forward, have a care Of that poor fellow. I'll attend you Sir, And trust to Providence we shall be safe. How is't now Rodamant? dost thou remember thou wert dead? Thou wert poisoned. There is a kind of grumbling in my guts still. Come, we will drink a cup boy, but of better brewing, And we will drink it up joy, without any fear of— Wine is injust that is taken on trust, if it tarry with us it fats, A cup boy, drink up joy, and let 'em go poison rats. What is it that doth sit so heavy on me? Since Coribreus talked with me, I find a dulness in my brain; and My eyes look as through a mist: which hangs upon my lids, And weighs 'em down. He frighted me to hear him, He has a rugged and revengeful nature; Not the sweet temper that his brother. My dear Conallus, mine? alas did I Say mine? indeed he is Master of my heart, But something makes me fear I shall not be So happy as I wish in his possession: Yet we have vows on both sides, holy ones, And marriage promised. But I am too loud; Yet not, my lodgings are remote and privat'st Of all the Court: and I have dismissed the servants, None near to reach my voice, then till this give Access, I need not fear the silent chambers. More clouds do gather 'bout my eyes, 'tis strange, I am not used to be inclined to sleep, While the day shines; then take what nature offers Emeria, and comply, it may discharge Thy waking melancholy, so I feel It gently slide upon my senses. So, so, this amulet I find secures me From all observers, and I now am in Her chamber, by a feat my Spirit did me: Ha? She sleeps too, what a fine Bawd the devil is, What opportunities he can frame to bring These things to pass; I were best lose no time; Madam, Madam, fair Emeria. Ha? who's that? was it a voice that called me? Or do I dream? here's nobody, this key Made all without sast; yet I'd see. I had Forgot, she'll never see me if I do not Take off my charm, perhaps I may again be visible If I ha' not lost myself. The doors are fast. Ha! Bless me you Powers, This music is not frequent in my chambers; 'Tis here, I know not where, I can see nothing. Emeria. Who is't that calls Emeria? goodness aid me! Put off thy fright Emeria, yet I blame not Thy feeble sense to tremble at my presence: Not used to mortal eyes, and unprepared. But gather strength, and call thy blood again Whose seat a paleness doth usurp: I am Thy friend.
