[ Scene I.] Antonio’s House.

Enter Ismena and Isabella.

Isab. Madam, turn your back to that side,

For there Antonio is hid; he must not see your

Face: now raise your Voice, that he may hear what ’tis you say.

Ism. I’ll warrant you, Isabella:

Was ever wretched Woman’s Fate like mine,

Forc’d to obey the rigid Laws of Parents,

And marry with a Man I did not love?

Ant. Oh, there’s my cause of Fear. Ant. peeps.
