Enter AMIDEO.
Amid. Thus far, unseen by Manuel, I have traced him; He can be gone no farther than the walk Behind the rock: I'll back, and tell my master.
Enter HIPPOLITO at the other end.
Hip. This is the place, where Roderick must expect His Julia:—How! Amideo here!
Amid. Hippolito!
Hip. This were so fit a time
For my revenge, had I the courage, now!
My heart swells at him, and my breath grows short;
But whether fear or anger choaks it up,
I cannot tell.
Amid. He looks so ghastfully,
Would I were past him; yet I fear to try it,
Because my mind misgives me he will stop me.
By your leave, Hippolito.
Hip. Whither so fast?
Amid. You'll not presume to hinder my lord's business? He shall know it.
Hip. I'll make you sure, before,
For telling any tales: Do you remember,
Since you defended Angelina's beauty
Against Honoria's; nay, and would maintain it.
