t-- most miraculous-- by St. _Jago_ I'll be revenged-- hah, what's here-- _La Nuche_-- [Surveys her at a distance. Enter _La Nuche_, _Aurelia_, _Sancho_. _La Nu._ We are pursu'd by _Beaumond_, who will certainly hinder our speaking to _Willmore_, should we have the good fortune to see him in this Crowd-- and yet there's no avoiding him. _Beau._ 'Tis she, how carefully she shuns me! _Aur._ I'm satisfied he knows us by the jealous Concern which appears in that prying Countenance of his. _Beau._ Stay, Cruel, is it Love or Curiosity, that wings those nimble Feet?
