MASC. Fiddlesticks! Come, my boys, let us away; I hear some other people coming closely behind us.
SCENE XIII.—LEANDER and his company masked; TRUFALDIN at the window.
LEAND. Softly, let us do nothing but in the gentlest manner.
TRUF. (At the window). How is this? What! mummers besieging my door all night. Gentlemen, do not catch a cold gratuitously; every one who is catching it here must have plenty of time to lose. It is rather a little too late to take Celia along with you; she begs you will excuse her to-night; the girl is in bed and cannot speak to you; I am very sorry; but to repay you for all the trouble you have taken for her sake, she begs you will be pleased to accept this pot of perfume.
LEAND. Faugh! That does not smell nicely. My clothes are all spoiled; we are discovered; let us be gone this way.
ACT IV.
SCENE I.—LELIO, disguised as an Armenian; MASCARILLE.
MASC. You are dressed in a most comical fashion.
LEL. I had abandoned all hope, but you have revived it again by this contrivance.
MASC. My anger is always too soon over; it is vain to swear and curse, I can never keep to my oaths.
