Anto. Well then, contrive my absence, I’le go thither,
I’m sure to know whether she cheats or no,
For if she names Don Lewis ’mongst the rest,
I shall believe her. Well, about the Letter.
[Exit.
Jasp. Are you there with your Beares; Don Lewis say you?
Marry now I find ’twas Jealousie of his Wife;
and not the matter of Money made him kill him,
whether he was guilty or no; I’le be sure he shan’t
be forgot, for I’le before hand to my Aunt, and tell
her all; I hope, she is a Witch; the People say so, a
mighty Artist I am sure she is, for she has done
strange things, and all men fear her, besides I
know she loves me, and will strive all she can to
do me good, and hap what will my Lord will
think me honest; for Night will surely shew his
sister to him, drest in’s Ladyes Gown, what though
he kill her, the mistake will lye o’th’ Night, and not
on me, thus I make good the Villain that she call’d
me, in my Revenge on her; and if Nurse fails me
not, I’le have my Lady, and Pedro; finely firkt.
When this is done, my Lord rewards my care,
Let him the danger I’le the profit share.
And since things Excellent commended be,
’Tshall be my Aym t’excell in Villany.
The End of the first Act.
Act the Second.
Enter Jasper and the Witch.
Jasp.
THis kindness, Aunt, I beg, your Art must do;
For I have no way else to save my place.
