ich never since was heard of. _Cleo._ I guess the Grief the Parents must sustain. _Dor._ It almost caus'd their Deaths; nor did kind Heaven Supply them with another till long after, Unhappy this was born: Which just her Father liv'd to see, and dy'd. [Weeps. Then she was Daughter, Son and Husband too, To her afflicted Mother: But as I told you, Madam, I was then in my Prime-- _Clar._ Now, Madam, judge what her Despair must be, Who is depriv'd of all her Joys in me. [Weeps. _Cleo._ _Francisca_, see who it is that knocks so hastily. [One knocks. _Franc._ Oh, Madam, 'tis Don _Marcel_ leading a wounded Man. _Cleo._ Oh my Fears, 'tis _Silvio_! _Franc._ 'Tis not Don _Silvio_. Enter _Marcel_, leading _Hippolyta_ wounded, followed by _Alonzo_ and _Pedro_. _Cleo._ Alas, what Youth is this you lead all bleeding? _Mar._ One that deserves your Care; where's my Father? _Cleo._ Not yet return'd. _Mar._ 'Tis well; and you, Sir, I must confine till I know how to satisfy my Honour, and that of my wrong'd Sister.

Pray, lovely Fugitive, how came you hither? [To _Clarinda_. _Mar._ I thought thou wert mistaken; 'Twas _Silvio_ brought her hither, that false Man. But how came you to know her? _Alon._ Know her! 'slife, I question my Sense. Pray, Lady, are you Flesh and Blood? [To _Cleonte_. _Cleo._ Yes surely, Sir; for 'twere pity you should have bestow'd your Heart on a Shadow, and I well remember you gave it one of us last Night. _Alon._ A Dream, a Dream! but are you indeed the same fair Person, and is this the same House too? _Cleo._ I am afraid your Heart's not worth the keeping, since you took no better notice where you dispos'd of it. _Alon._ Faith, Mada
