Long. Not a word, Sir.
Lav. I am something thick of hearing; what said he?
La poop. I hear him, but regard him not.
Mal. Nor I, I am never angry fasting.
Long. My love keeps back my duty, noblest Lady;
If Husband or brother merit love from you,
Prevent their dangers, this hour brings to trial
Their hereto sleeping hates; by this time each
Within a yard is of the others heart,
And met to prove their causes and their spirits
With their impartial swords points; haste and save,
Or never meet them more, but at the grave.
Lady. Oh my distracted heart, that my wrackt honor
Should for a Brothers, or a Husbands life, through thy undoing, die.
Lam. Amiens engag'd; if he miscarry all my hopes and joys,
I now confess it loudly, are undone:
Caroch, and haste, one minute may betray
A life more worth than all time can repay.
[Exeunt Ladies and Mont.
Mal. Hump: Monsieur Laverdine pursues this boy extreamly, Captain, what will you do?
La p. Any thing but follow to this Land-service; I am a Sea-Captain you know, and to offer to part 'em, without we could do't like Watermen with long staves, a quarter of a mile off, might be dangerous.
