Shal. Why so?
Frank. Because I would not have people take notice of this fault: we'll go to church, only we three, the minister and the clerk—that's witnesses enough; so, the time being unknown, people will think you were married before.
Shal. But will it stand with my worship to be married in private?
Frank. Yes, yes; the greatest do it, when they have been nibbling beforehand; there is no other way to save your bride's credit.
Shal. Come, let's about it presently.
Frank. This is closed up beyond our wishes.
[Exeunt.
Manet Luce.
Luce. I am undone, unless thy wit, Francisco,
Can find some means to free me from this fool,
Who would have thought the sot could be so gross
To take upon him what he never did,
To his own shame? I'll send to my Francisco,
And I must lose no time; for I am dead,
If not delivered from this loathed bed.
