n._ Shift for your self you are dead else, You have kill'd the Governou[r]s Nephew. _Page._ Raise the streets there. _Alon._ If once you are beset you cannot scape, Will you betray your self? _Rut_. Undone for ever. [_Exit_ Rut. _and_ Alonzo. _Enter_ Officers. _1 Off_. Who makes this out-cry? _Page_. O my Lord is murdered; This way he took, make after him, Help help there. [_Exit_ Page. _2 Offi_. 'Tis _Don Duarte_. _1 Offi_. Pride has got a fall, He was still in quarrels, scorn'd us Peace-makers, And all our Bill-authority, now h'as paid for't. You ha' met with your match Sir now, bring off his body And bear it to the Governour.

Whither have my fears brought me? I am got into a house, the doors all open, This, by the largeness of the room, the hangings, And other rich adornments, glistring through The sable masque of night, sayes it belongs To one of means and rank: no servant stirring? Murmur nor whisper? _Guio._ Who's that? _Rut._ By the voice, This is a woman. _Guio._ _Stephana, Jaspe, Julia,_ Who waits there? _Rut._ 'Tis the Lady of the house, I'le flie to her protection. _Guio._ Speak, what are you? _Rut._ Of all that ever breath'd, a man most wretched. _Guio._ I am sure you are a man of most ill manners, You could not with so little reverence else Press to my private chamber.
