ACT III. SCENE 1. The Street
Enter Lorenzo, in Friar’s habit, meeting Dominic
Here follow some fifteen speeches in which the arrangements are made. Then:
SCENE 2
Enter Elvira, in her chamber
Elvira. He’ll come, that’s certain; young appetites are sharp, and seldom need twice bidding to such a banquet;—well, if I prove frail,—as I hope I shall not till I have compassed my design,—never woman had such a husband to provoke her, such a lover to allure her, or such a confessor to absolve her. Of what am I afraid, then? not my conscience that’s safe enough; my ghostly father has given it a dose of church opium to lull it; well, for soothing sin, I’ll say that for him, he’s a chaplain for any court in Christendom.
Enter Lorenzo and Dominic
O father Dominic, what news? How, a companion with you! What game have you on hand, that you hunt in couples?
Lorenzo. (Lifting up his hood.) I’ll show you that immediately.
Elvira. O my love!
