Enter Governor, Eugenia, Mark-antonio, Philippo, Theodosia, Leocadia, Attendants.
Gover. Sir, you may know by what I said already,
You may command my house; but I must beg
Pardon to leave you, if the publick business
Forc'd me not from you, I my self should call it
Unmannerly: but good Sir, do you give it
A milder name: it shall not be an hour
Ere I return.
Mar[c]. Sir, I was nere so poor
In my own thoughts, as that I want a means
To requite this with.
Gov. Sir, within this hour. [Exit.
Marc. This the Lady that I quarrell'd for?
O lust if wounds cannot restrain thy power,
Let shame: nor do I feel my hurt at all,
Nor is it ought, only I was well beaten:
If I pursue it, all the civil world
That ever did imagine the content
Found in the band of man and wife unbroke,
The reverence due to housholds, or the blemish
That may be stuck upon posterity
Will catch me, bind me, burn upon my forehead,
This is the wounded stranger, that receiv'd
For charity into a house, attempted—
I will not do it.
Eug. Sir, how do you do now?
That you walk off.
Marc. Worse Madam, than I was;
But it will over.
Eug. Sit, and rest a while.
Marc. Where are the Surgeons?
Eug. Sir, it is their manner,
When they have seen the wound especially,
The patient being of worth, to go consult,
Which they are now at in another room,
About the dressing.
