1777Mar. Breake off thy song, and haste thee quick away,

1778Here comes a man of comfort, whose aduice

1779Hath often still'd my brawling discontent.

1780I cry you mercie, Sir, and well could wish

1781You had not found me here so musicall.

1782Let me excuse me, and beleeue me so,

1783My mirth it much displeas'd, but pleas'd my woe.

1784Duk. 'Tis good; though Musick oft hath such a charme

1785To make bad, good; and good prouoake to harme.

1786I pray you tell me, hath any body enquir'd for mee here

1787to day; much vpon this time haue I promis'd here to

1788meete.

1789Mar. You haue not bin enquir'd after: I haue sat

1790here all day.

1792Duk. I doe constantly beleeue you: the time is come

1793euen now. I shall craue your forbearance a little, may be

1794I will call vpon you anone for some aduantage to your

1795selfe.

1796Mar. I am alwayes bound to you. Exit.

1797Duk. Very well met, and well come:

1798What is the newes from this good Deputie?

1799Isab. He hath a Garden circummur'd with Bricke,

1800Whose westerne side is with a Vineyard back't;

1801And to that Vineyard is a planched gate,

1802That makes his opening with this bigger Key:

1803This other doth command a little doore,

1804Which from the Vineyard to the Garden leades,

1805There haue I made my promise, vpon the

1806Heauy midle of the night, to call vpon him.

1807Duk. But shall you on your knowledge find this way?

1808Isab. I haue t'ane a due, and wary note vpon't,

1809With whispering, and most guiltie diligence,

1810In action all of precept, he did show me

1811The way twice ore.

1812Duk. Are there no other tokens

1813Betweene you 'greed, concerning her obseruance?

1814Isab. No: none but onely a repaire ith' darke,

1815And that I haue possest him, my most stay

1816Can be but briefe: for I haue made him know,

1817I haue a Seruant comes with me along

1818That staies vpon me; whose perswasion is,

1819I come about my Brother.

1820Duk. 'Tis well borne vp.

1821I haue not yet made knowne to Mariana

1823A word of this: what hoa, within; come forth,

1824I pray you be acquainted with this Maid,

1825She comes to doe you good.

1826Isab. I doe desire the like.

1827Duk. Do you perswade your selfe that I respect you?

1828Mar. Good Frier, I know you do, and haue found it.

1829Duke. Take then this your companion by the hand

1830Who hath a storie readie for your eare:

1831I shall attend your leisure, but make haste

1832The vaporous night approaches.

1833Mar. Wilt please you walke aside. Exit.

1834Duke. Oh Place, and greatnes: millions of false eies

1835Are stucke vpon thee: volumes of report

1836Run with these false, and most contrarious Quest

1837Vpon thy doings: thousand escapes of wit

1838Make thee the father of their idle dreame,

1839And racke thee in their fancies. Welcome, how agreed?

1841Isab. Shee'll take the enterprize vpon her father,

1842If you aduise it.

1843Duke. It is not my consent,

1844But my entreaty too.

1845Isa. Little haue you to say

1846When you depart from him, but soft and low,

1847Remember now my brother.

1848Mar. Feare me not.

1849Duk. Nor gentle daughter, feare you not at all:

1850He is your husband on a pre-contract:

1851To bring you thus together 'tis no sinne,

1852Sith that the Iustice of your title to him

1853Doth flourish the deceit. Come, let vs goe,

1854Our Corne's to reape, for yet our Tithes to sow. Exeunt.
