Fran. How, ne'er more lie with him! Isab. And this divorce shall be as truly kept As if in thronged court a thousand ears Had heard it, and a thousand lawyers' hands Sealed to the separation. Brach. Ne'er lie with me! Isab. Let not my former dotage Make thee an unbeliever; this my vow Shall never on my soul be satisfied With my repentance: manet alta mente repostum. Fran. Now, by my birth, you are a foolish, mad, And jealous woman. Brach. You see 'tis not my seeking. Fran. Was this your circle of pure unicorn's horn, You said should charm your lord! now horns upon thee, For jealousy deserves them! Keep your vow And take your chamber. Isab. No, sir, I 'll presently to Padua; I will not stay a minute. Mont. Oh, good madam! Brach.

Enter Doctor Brach. About the murder? Flam. They are sending him to Naples, but I 'll send him to Candy. Here 's another property too. Brach. Oh, the doctor! Flam. A poor quack-salving knave, my lord; one that should have been lashed for 's lechery, but that he confessed a judgment, had an execution laid upon him, and so put the whip to a non plus. Doctor. And was cozened, my lord, by an arranter knave than myself, and made pay all the colorable execution. Flam. He will shoot pills into a man's guts shall make them have more ventages than a cornet or a lamprey; he will poison a kiss; and was once minded for his masterpiece, because Ireland breeds no poison, to have prepared a deadly vapour in a Spaniard's fart,
