ius_, look
To hear from me.--
[Comes up to him, and tells him so in a menacing Tone, and go out
severally.
_Salv._ Go, Mrs. _Minks_, get you in.
[Ex. _Salv._ and _Lau._
SCENE II. A Street.
Enter _Frederick_ passing in Anger over the Stage, meets
_Lorenzo_.
_Lor._ O Sir, I'm glad I've found you; for
I have the rarest News for you.
_Fred._ What News?
_Lor._ Oh the Devil, he's angry;--Why, Sir, the prettiest young--
_Fred._ There's for your Intelligence. [Strikes him, and goes out.
_Lor._ So, very well; how mortal is the favour of
Princes! these be turns of State now; what the
Devil ails he trow; sure he could not be
Offended with the News I have brought him;
If he be, he's strangely out of tune:
And sure he has too much Wit to grow virtuous at these
Years. No, no, he has had some repulse from a
Lady; and that's a wonder; for he has a Tongue and a
Purse that seldom fails: if Youth and Vigour would
Stretch as far, he were the wonder of the Age.
Enter _Curtius_.
_Cur._ _Lorenzo_, didst thou see the Prince?
_Lor._ Marry, did I, and feel him too.
_Cur._ Why, did he strike you?
_Lor._ I'm no true Subject if he did not; and that
Only for doing that Service which once was most acceptable
To him.--Prithee what's the matter with him, hah?
_Cur._ I know not, leave me.
_Lor._ Leave thee, what, art thou out of humour too?
Let me but know who 'tis has disoblig'd thee, and I'll--
_Cur._ What wilt thou?
_Lor._ Never see his Face more, if a Man.
_Cur._ And what if a Woman?
_Lor._ Then she's an idle peevish Slut, I'll warrant her.
_Cur._ Conclude it so, and leave me.
_Lor._ Nay, now thou hast said the only thing that could
Keep me with thee, thou mayst be desperate; I'll
Tell you, _Curtius_, these female Mischiefs make Men
Take dangerous Resolutions sometimes.
Enter _Alberto_.
_Alb._ _Curtius_, I've something to deliver to your Ear.
[Whispers.
_Cur._ Any thing from _Alberto_ is welcome.
_Lor._ Well, I will be hang'd if there be not some
Mischief in agitation; it cannot be wenching;
They look all too dull and sober for that;
And besides, then I should have been a party concern'd.
_Cur._ The place and time.
_Alb._ An hour hence i'th' Grove by the River-side.
_Cur._ Alone, thou say'st?
_Alb._ Alone, the Prince will have it so.
_Cur._ I will no
