SCENE III.

An apartment in the Governor's House.

Enter Julia and Ribaumont.

Ribau. Yet, hear me, Julia——

Julia. Pr'ythee, good my lord,

Press me not thus: my father's strict command—

I must not say 'tis harsh—forbids me listen.

Ribau. Is then the path of duty so precise,

That 'twill not for a little deviate?

Sweet, let it wind, and bend to recollection.
