[_Exit_ HONOREA. DUN. Now your eyes see that which your heart believ'd not. LACY. 'Tis a miracle beyond the reach Of my capacity! I could weep for joy, Would but my tears express how much I love her! Men may surmise amiss in jealousy, Of those that live in untouch'd honesty. MUS. Is she departed? and do I conceive This height of grief, and do no violence Unto myself? Said she I denied her? Far be it from my heart to think that thought. All ye that, as I do, have felt this smart, Ye know how burthensome 'tis at my heart. Hereafter never will I prosecute This former motion, my unlawful suit; But, since she is Earl Lacy's virtuous wife, I'll live a private, pensive, single life. [_Exit_ MUSGRAVE. DUN. God doth dispose all at his blessed will; And he hath chang'd their minds from bad to good, That we, which see't, may learn to mend ourselves. LACY. I'll reconcile myself to Musgrave's love: I will recant my false suspicion, And humbly make my true submission. [_Exeunt_. _Enter_ MARIAN, _chafing_. MAR. Say'st thou thou'lt make the house too hot for me? I'll soon abroad, and cool me in the air. I'll teach him never scorn to drink his health Whom I do love.

'Twas Harvey's work to temper it so well: The strongest poison that he could devise. _Enter_ CLINTON. I have been too long subject to the slave; But now I'll cast off that detested yoke. CLIN. Musgrave, I see, is reconcil'd to th'earl; For now I met him walking with Lord Lacy. Sure, this is Marian's plot, and there she stands. What, love, alone! MAR. Ay, captain, much disturb'd About the frantic doctor's jealousy; Who, though he seem'd content when thou wast there, He after fell reviling thee and me; Robb'd me of all my jewels; locks his plate In his own trunk; and let's me only live To bear the idle title of his wife. CLIN. Fair Marian, by a soldier's loyal faith, If my employment any way may help To set thee free from this captivity, Use me in any sort: command my sword; I'll do't, as soon as thou shalt speak the word. MAR. Now, by my true love, which I wish to t
