Ela. But what if any one by my Father’s Order, or he himself should by some chance surprize us?

Scar. If we be, I have taken order against a Discovery. I’ll go see if the old Gentleman be gone, and return with your Lover. [Goes out.

Ela. I tremble, but know not whether ‘tis with Fear or Joy.

Enter Cinthio.

Cin. My dear Elaria— [Runs to imbrace her, She starts from him. —Ha,—shun my Arms, Elaria!

Ela. Heavens! Why did you come so soon?

Cin. Is it too soon, whene’er ‘tis safe, Elaria?

Ela. I die with Fear—Met you not Scaramouch? He went to bid you wait a while; what shall I do?

Cin. Why this Concern? none of the House has seen me. I saw your Father taking Horse.

Ela. Sure you mistake, methinks I hear his Voice.
