I leave this billet-do. Read, loved one, its contents;

(Aside.) (And I’ll go home and seek my night habillements.)

(Exit.)

Enter Roderigo.

A notability, as I’d ability to note. But see,

A witch! a fortune-teller comes! O, criminy!

I’ll bribe the hag to gain Berlinda’s bower,

And then I’ll carry off my love within the hour.

Enter Witch. What ho! midnight marauder.

Roderigo (in a whisper, taking her aside).
