sad displeasure, Or any thing but dead, say she is banished, Invent a crime, and I'le believe it, Sir. _Ant_. Dead by the Law: we found her Hell, and her, I mean her Charms and Spells, for which she perish'd; And she confest she drew thee to thy ruine, And purpos'd it, purpos'd my Empires overthrow. _Dem_. But is she dead? was there no pity Sir? If her youth err'd, was there no mercy shown her? Did ye look on her face, when ye condemn'd her? _Ant_. I look'd into her heart, and there she was hideous. _Dem_. Can she be dead? can vertue fall untimely? _Ant_. She is dead, deservingly she died. _Dem_. I have done then.

Who's that talks of a Wench there? _Leo_. All this discontent About a Wench? _Lieu_. Where is this Wench, good Colonel? _Leo_. Prithee hold thy Peace: who calls thee to counsel? _Lieu_. Why, if there be a Wench-- _Leo_. 'Tis fit thou know her: _Enter_ 2 Gentlemen. That I'le say for thee, and as fit thou art for her, Let her be mewed or stopt: how is it Gentlemen? _1 Gent_.
