tence?

Antinous:

What you please to have it.

Erota:

As thou art gentle speak those words again.

Antinous:

Madam, you have prevail'd; yet give me leave
Without offence, ere I resign the interest
Your heart hath in my heart, to prove your secresie.

Erota:

_Antinous_, 'tis the greatest argument
Of thy affections to me.

Antinous:

Madam, thus then,
My Father stands for certain sums engag'd
To treacherous _Gonzalo_; and has morgag'd
The greatest part of his estate to him;
If you receive this Morgage, and procure
Acquittance from _Gonzalo_ to my Father,
I am what you would have me be.

Erota:

You'll love me then?

Antinous:

Provided (Madam) that my Father know not
I am an Agent for him.

Erota:

If I fail
In this, I am unworthy to be lov'd.

Antinous:

Then (with your favour) thus I seal my truth,

I shall still love _Erota_.

Erota:

Thou hast quickned
A dying heart, _Antinous_.

Decius:

This is well;
Much happiness to both.

[Enter _Hyparcha_]

Hyparcha:

The Lord _Gonzalo_
Attends you, Madam.

Erota:

Comes as we could wish,
Withdraw _Antinous_, here's a Closet, where
You may partake his errand; let him enter.

[_Enter_ Gonzalo]

Antinous:

Madam you must be wary.

[Exit

Erota:

Fear it not,
I will be ready for him; to entertain him
With smiling Welcome. Noble Sir, you take
Advantage of the time; it had been fit
Some notice of your presence might have fashion'd
A more prepared state.

Gonzalo:

Do you mock me, Madam?

Erota:

Trust me, you wrong your judgment, to repute
My Gratitude a fault; I have examin'd
Your portly carriage, and will now confess
It hath not slightly won me.

Gonzalo:

The Wind's turn'd;
I thought 'twould come to this; it pleas'd us, Madam,
At our last interview, to mention Love;
Have you consider'd on't?

Erota:

With more than common
Content: but Sir, if what you spoke you meant,
(As I have cause to doubt) then--

Gonzalo:

What, (sweet Lady?)

Erota:

Methinks we should l
