Gay. Hah, where am I? By Heaven, my last Night’s Vision—’Tis that inchanted Room, and yonder’s the Alcove! Sure ‘twas indeed some Witch, who knowing of my Infidelity—has by Inchantment brought me hither— ’.is so—I am betray’d—[Pauses. Hah! or was it Julia, that last night gave me that lone Opportunity?—but hark, I hear some coming— [Shuts himself in.
Enter Sir Cautious.
Sir Cau. [Lifting up the Chest-lid.] So, you are come, I see—
[Goes, and locks the door.
Gay. Hah—he here! nay then, I was deceiv’d, and it was Julia that last night gave me the dear Assignation. [Aside.
[Sir Cautious peeps into the Bed-chamber.
L. Ful. [Within.] Come, Sir Cautious, I shall fall asleep, and then you’ll waken me.
Sir Cau. Ay, my Dear, I’m coming—she’s in Bed—I’ll go put out the
Candle, and then—
Gay. Ay, I’ll warrant you for my part—
Sir Cau. Ay, but you may over-act your part, and spoil all—But, Sir,
I hope you’ll use a Christian Conscience in this business.
Gay. Oh, doubt not, Sir, but I shall do you Reason.
