Gal. Thou wert undone, I understand thee—
And will be secret as a Confessor,
As lonely Shades, or everlasting Night.
Come, lead the way.
Cor. Where I will follow thee, though to the Bed of her thou’rt going to, and even prevent thy very Business there. [Aside.]
[Exeunt.
SCENE II. A Chamber.
Enter Laura, as before, in a Night-Gown.
Lau. Now for a Power that never yet was known
To charm this Stranger quickly into Love.
Assist my Eyes, thou God of kind Desires;
Inspire my Language with a moving Force,
That may at once gain and secure the Victory.
Enter Silvio.
Sil. Madam, your Lover’s here: your time’s but short; consider too, Count Julio may arrive.
Lau. Let him arrive; having secur’d my self of what I love,
I’ll leave him to complain his unknown Loss
To careless Winds as pitiless as I—Silvio, see the Rooms
Be fill’d with Lights, whilst I prepare my self to entertain him.
Darkness shall ne’er deceive me more—
[Enter to Sil. Gal. gazing about him,
Cor. peeping at the Door.
