O Madam, I have been false, forgive me. I'll redeem it By any thing however desperate You please to impose upon me. Troth these tears I think cannot be counterfeit, I believe her, And if you please will try her. At your peril; There is no further danger can look towards me. This only then, canst thou use means to carry This bake-meat to Vitelli? With much ease, I am familiar with the guard; beside, It being known it was I that betrayed, My entrance hardly will of them be questioned? About it then, say that it was sent to him From his Donusa, bid him search the midst of't He there shall find a cordial. What I do Shall speak my care and faith. Good fortune with thee. You cannot eat. The time we thus abuse We might employ much better. I am glad To hear this from you. As for you Carazie, If your intents do prosper, make choice whither You'll steal away with your two Mistresses Or take your fortune. I'll be gelded twice first; Hang him that stays behind. I wait you madam, Were but my brother off, by the command Of the doting Viceroy there's no guard dare stay me. And I will safely bring you to the place Where we must expect him. Heaven be gracious to us. Paulina to fall off thus? 'tis to me More terrible than death, and like an earthquake Totters this walking building (such I am) And in my sudden ruin would prevent, By choking up at once my vital spirits, This pompous preparation for my death. But I am lost; that good man, good Francisco Delivered me a paper which till now I wanted leisure to peruse. This Christian Fears not, it seems, the near approaching Sun Whose second rise He never must salute. Who's that? Stand. Manto. here's the viceroy's ring Gives warrant to my entrance, yet you may Partake of any thing I shall deliver; 'tis but a present to a dying man Sent from the princess that must suffer with him. Use your own freedom. I would not disturb This his last contemplation. O 'tis well! He has restored all, and I at peace again With my Paulina. Sir, the sad Donusa Grieved for your sufferings, more than for her own, Knowing the long and tedious pilgrimage You are to take, presents you with this cordial, Which privately she wishes you should taste of, And search the middle part, where you shall find Something that hath the operation, to Make death look lovely. I will not dispute What she commands but serve it. Prithee Manto How hath the unfortunate princess spent this night Under her proud new mistress? With such patience As it o'ercomes the other's insolence Nay triumphs o'er her pride. My much haste now Commands me hence, but the sad Tragedy passed, I'll give you satisfaction to the full Of all hath passed, and a true character Of the proud Christians' nature.
