Alb. So please you, virtuous pair, Albert will stay,
And spend the remnant of this wearisome life
In these dark woods.

Car. Then you neglect the comforts heav'n doth send
To your abode on earth. If you stay here,
Your life may end in torture by the cruelty
Of some wild ravenous beasts; but if 'mongst men,
When you depart, the faithful prayers of many
Will much avail to crown your soul with bliss.

Alb. Lov'd Carracus, I have found in thy converse
Comfort so bless'd, that nothing now but death
Shall cause a separation in our being.

Maria. Which heaven confirm!

Car. Thus by the breach of faith our friendship's knit
In stronger bonds of love.

Alb. Heaven so continue it!
[Exeunt.


ACTUS QUINTUS.

Enter Hog in his chamber, with Rebecca laying down his bed, and, seeming to put the keys under his bolster, conveyeth them into her pocket.

Hog. So, have you laid the keys of the outward doors
Under my bolster?
