Devil. Alas, Captain, she was kill’d to Night when
you brought in the Watch to search our House.
Capt. Kill’d, by whom?
Devil. I know not that, but we were putting a cheat
upon a Lord there, by contrivance of his Man,
and when you knockt, we ran to our lurking holes
to hide us, but when the Coast was clear, we came
out, and seeking for my Mistress, found her dead in one
of the holes thrust through her Body with a Dagger in
three places.
Capt. What cheat was that you put upon the Lord?
Dev. We Acted like Devils, and in a Song made him
believe his Wife did Cuckold him.
Capt. This was Antonio, whom I met there, Sir.
Devil. Ay, that’s his Name, a mighty furious Man,
He said, he’d kill e’m all before ’twas day.
He made me quake to hear him; I hope now,
Captain, you will let me go.
Capt. No, no, you Rogue! If he has done more mischief
You shall be hang’d, except you find your Fellows
That joyn’d i’th’ cheat with you to make him Jealous.
Devil. I’le bring you presently to them, and shew you all
their holes; they did but send me out to watch when
the Coast was clear!
Capt. Who, say you, set you on to this design?
