[ACT I. SCENE I.]
Enter Erastus and his man, with Lisetta, Mariamne's maid.
Lis. Once more I tell ye, Sir, if you have any consideration in the world for her, you must be gone this minute.
Er. My dear Lisetta, let me but speak to her, let me but see her only.
Lis. You may do what you will; but not here, whilst you are in our house. I do believe she's as impatient to see you, as you can be to see her; but——
Er. But why won't you give us that satisfaction then?
Lis. Because I know the consequence; for when you once get together, the Devil himself is not able to part you; you will stay so long 'till you are surpriz'd, and what will become of us then?
Serv. Why, then we shall be thrown out at the window, I suppose.
Lis. No, but I shall be turn'd out of doors.
