Anto. Ay, where’s the Witch?
Jasp. She got upon a fiery Dragons back,
And mounted like a Rocket through the Air,
Leaving me half distracted.
Anto. ’Tis strange and wonderful.
[Enter Captain and Watch.
1. Watch. Here’s two of them.
Capt. My Lord Antonio! ’Tis strange to meet you thus
in a suspitious House so late in the Evening.
Anto. Riding by the River side to take the Air,
My Horse threw me, which made me see
For some convenient House to rest a while,
And met with this, wherein I have slept this hour,
And I believe had done so longer yet,
Had not your noise awak’d me.
Capt. My Lord, I’ve no Commission to enquire,
Into Persons bus’ness of your eminent Rank;
It is for other Men that I search now,
Some half a score the most notorious Rogues
About the Town were seen to enter here.
Saw you none such, my Lord?
Anto. No, on my Honour;
For since I enter’d here, no human shape
Was seen by me, but one Old wither’d Woman;
And where she’s gone, I know not.
Capt. My Lord, that Woman is the greatest Cheat
About the Town; the simple think her a Witch;
But I can witness for her she is none;
My Lord, you’l pardon me, if I search for her.
