Arabella
What a calm replacing trouble has come over my spirit.
Worthy What confused tumult redoubles in my feelings? What profound abyss opens under my feet? What dragon pursues me? Ah, traitor, you will die—I intend to purge the world of a monster like you.
(Worthy chases Albert about, sword in hand.)
Scratch (coming between them) Ah, sir, avoid his furious rage. Save yourself, save yourself. Let me draw some blood and poison from his side. (holding Worthy) From the violent access with which he's transported, I can see I've given him too strong a dose.
Worthy
I intend to sacrifice him to my just fury.
Scratch Don’t you have some strong liquor or spirits to calm this fury? He's going to escape me.
Albert (drawing his key) Yes, I have what he needs. Jenny, take my key, go, run upstairs, take the viol—
Jenny
I'm afraid I'm too upset to do it properly. You'd better go instead.
Scratch Run—quickly. Would you let a man who has offered to die for you perish?
Jenny (pushing Albert)
Go, quick—go now!
