Nurse. Jasper’s an honest fellow, and no Villain;
And did he know a secret, he could keep it.
Eug. But have you told it then?
Nurse. No matter what I’ve done, I will not tell you,
Because you vext and rated at me so.
Eug. Well, Nurse, I did believe you lov’d me better.
[Weeps.
And wou’d trust me with any thing you did,
But I perceive your kindness all for Jasper.
Nurse. I love Jasper well, and love you too,
And you shall have no wrong I warrant you.
Eug. The thing is plain, I need not ask no further.
But where’s the remedy? Nurse, prethee tell me,
What did Francisco say unto my message?
Nurse. I, there’s a bus’ness now worth asking for.
He sayes, he’s glad you’l condescend to meet;
Nay, he’s a glad man, I’le tell you that, i’ faith,
He bid me say, you were a gallant Girle,
So to Revenge his quarrel on Gerardo.
Eug. Gerardo, said you! O thy mouth’s a Sieve!
There’s not a secret thou canst keep a moment;
Did I not charge thee not to name Gerardo,
Till I should speak of it myself to him?
Nay, ’tis the greatest motive makes me meet him,
For to prevent the mischiefs else may follow;
Well, I am curst for sin, and thou art made
The cause o’ th’ sin, and curse that does attend it.
