anger, Sir, I'll let you know my Quality; And 'tis the Vice-Roy's Son whom you have wounded. _Belv._ The Vice-Roy's Son! Death and Confusion! was this Plague reserved To compleat all the rest?-- oblig'd by him! The Man of all the World I would destroy. [Aside. _Ant._ You seem disorder'd, Sir. _Belv._ Yes, trust me, Sir, I am, and 'tis with pain That Man receives such Bounties, Who wants the pow'r to pay 'em back again. _Ant._ To gallant Spirits 'tis indeed uneasy; --But you may quickly over-pay me, Sir. _Belv._ Then I am well-- kind Heaven! but set us even, That I may fight with him, and keep my Honour safe.

[Exit _Antonio_. _Belv._ Fantastick Fortune, thou deceitful Light, That cheats the wearied Traveller by Night, Tho on a Precipice each step you tread, I am resolv'd to follow where you lead. [Exit. SCENE II. _The Molo._ Enter _Florinda_ and _Callis_ in Masques, with _Stephano_. _Flor._ I'm dying with my fears; _Belvile's_ not coming, As I expected, underneath my Window, Makes me believe that all those Fears are true. [Aside. --Canst thou not tell with whom my Brother fights? _Steph._ No, Madam, they were both in Masquerade, I was by when they challeng'd one another, and they had decided the Quarrel then, but w
