Math. Well, let it pass, another time shall serve. [Exit.

Lod. Barabas, is not that the widow's son?

Bar. I, and take heed, for he hath sworn your death.

Lod. My death? what, is the base-born peasant mad?

Bar. No, no, but happily he stands in fear Of that which you, I think, ne'er dream upon, My daughter here, a paltry silly girl.

Lod. Why, loves she Don Mathias?

Bar. Doth she not with her smiling answer you?

Abig. He has my heart; I smile against my will.  [Aside.290

Lod. Barabas, thou know'st I've loved thy daughter long.
