Duke. You shall; and this shall be the seal of my affection. [Gives the letter.
There take it, my Lucretia: I give it with more joy,
Than I with grief received it.
Luc. Good night; I'll thank you for't some other time.
Duke. You'll not abuse my love?
Luc. No; but secure my honour.
Duke. I'll force it from your hands. [Lucretia runs.
Luc. Help, help, or I am ravished! help, for heaven's sake!
Hippolita, Laura, and Violetta, within, at several places.
Within. Help, help Lucretia! they bear away Lucretia by force.
Duke. I think there's a devil in every corner.
Enter Valerio.
