_Din._ Dost thou love me dearly? Dar'st thou for my sake? _Cler._ Any thing that's honest. _Din._ Though it be dangerous? _Cler._ Pox o' dangerous. _Din._ Nay wondrous dangerous. _Cler._ Wilt thou break my heart? _Din._ Along with me then. _Cler._ I must part to morrow. _Din._ You shall, you shall, be faithful for this night, And thou hast made thy friend. _Cler._ Away, and talk not. [_Exeunt._ _Enter_ Lamira, _and Nurse_. _Lam._ O Nurse, welcome, where's _Dinant_? _Nurse._ He's at my back. 'Tis the most liberal Gentleman, this Gold He gave me for my pains, nor can I blame you, If you yield up the fort. _Lam._ How? yield it up? _Nurse._ I know not, he that loves, and gives so largely, And a young Lord to boot, or I am cozen'd, May enter every where. _Lam._ Thou'lt make me angry. _Enter_ Dinant, _and_ Cleremont. _Nur._ Why, if you are, I hope here's one will please you, Look on him with my Eyes, good luck go with you: Were I young for your sake-- _Din._ I thank thee, Nurse. _Nur._ I would be tractable, and as I am-- _Lam._ Leave the room, So old, and so immodest! and be careful, Since whispers will 'wake sleeping jealousies, That none disturb my Lord.
