Gentleman That left me dead, ere brought unto his tryal? _Doct._ Not known, nor apprehended. _Dua._ That's my grief. _Doct._ Why, do you wish he had been punished? _Dua._ No, The stream of my swoln sorrow runs not that way: For could I find him, as I vow to Heaven It shall be my first care to seek him out, I would with thanks acknowledge that his sword, In opening my veins, which proud bloud poison'd, Gave the first symptoms of true health. _Doct._ 'Tis in you A Christian resolution: that you live Is by the Governours, your Uncles charge As yet conceal'd. And though a sons loss never Was solemniz'd with more tears of true sorrow Than have been paid by your unequal'd Mother For your supposed death, she's not acquainted With your recovery. _Dua._ For some few dayes Pray let her so continue: thus disguis'd I may abroad unknown. _Doct._ Without suspicion Of being discovered. _Dua._ I am confident No moisture sooner dies than womens tears, And therefore though I know my Mother vertuous, Yet being one of that frail sex I purpose Her farther tryal. _Doct._ That as you think fit--I'le not betray you. _Dua._ To find out this stranger This true Physician of my mind and manners Were such a blessing. He seem'd poor, and may Perhaps be now in want; would I could find him.

[_Exeunt._ _Enter_ Leopold, Zabulon, Bravo. _Zab._ I have brought him Sir, a fellow that will do it Though Hell stood in his way, ever provided You pay him for't. _Leop._ He has a strange aspect, And looks much like the figure of a hang-man In a table of the Passion. _Zab._ He transcends All precedents, believe it, a flesh'd ruffian, That hath so often taken the Strappado, That 'tis to him but as a lofty trick Is to a tumbler: he hath perused too All Dungeons in _Portu[g]al_, thrice seven years Rowed in the Galleys for three several murthers, Though I presume that he has done a hundred, And scap't unpunisht. _Leop._ He is much in debt to you, You set hi
