broke them all, but thou perfidious? Come, 'tis _Hippolyta_ that I demand. _Mar._ By this he should not know my Sister's Shame. [Aside. Oh, Sir, you must not have _Hippolyta_. _Alon._ How! not have _Hippolyta_! Tho every Step were guarded by a Brother, Tho she were circled round about with Rivals, Ye should not all have Power to keep her from me. Not have _Hippolyta_!-- 'Sdeath, Sir, because I do not know my Birth, And cannot boast a little empty Title, I must not have _Hippolyta_.-- Now I will have her; and when you know I can, You shall petition me to marry her. And yet I will not do't. Come, Sir-- [Offers to fight. _Hip._ Hold, hold, brave Man, or turn your Sword on me. I am the unhappy Cause of all your Rage: 'Tis I, generous _Alonzo_, that can tell you What he's asham'd to own, And thou wilt blush to hear. _Mar._ _Hippolyta_! thou wretched wicked Woman: Thus I reward thy Sins-- [Offers to kill her, _Antonio_ steps between. _Ant._ Hold, Sir, and touch her not without my leave, She is my Wife; by sacred Vows my Wife. _Alon._ I understand no riddling; but whoever thou be'st. Man or Woman, thou'rt worth our Care-- She faints-- come, let us bear her hence. [She faints, _Antonio_ kneels to her. _Ant._ Oh stay, _Hippolyta_, and take me with thee, For I've no use of Life when thou art gone. [Weeps. Here, kill me, brave _Marcel_-- and yet you need not; My own Remorse, and Grief will be sufficient. _Mar._ I credit thee, and leave thee to their Mercy. _Hip._ That Goodness, Sir, has call'd me back to Life, To pay my humble Thanks; could you have Mercy too, To pardon me-- you might redeem my Soul. _Mar._ Some Pity I have yet, that may preserve thee too, Provided this Repentance be not feign'd. _Ant._ My Life, Sir, is Security for both. _Mar._ Doubt not, I'll take the Forfeit, Sir-- Come, _Hippolyta_. Thy Father's House shall once again receive thee. _Ant._ Lean on my Arm, my dearest. _Mar._ Sir, by the way, I'll let you know her Story, And then perhaps you will not blame my Friendship. _Alon._ And in return, I'll give you back _Clarinda_-- And beg your Pardon for the Wound I gave you. [Exeunt, leading _Hippolyta_. ACT V. SCENE I. _A Garden._ Enter _Cleonte_, _Clarinda_ weeping, and _Dormida_ and _Francisca_. _Cleo._ Fear not, I'll use my Interest both with your Mother and my Father,
