anew, in sight of Heaven, I breathe?
_Fran_. Yes, yes, you can promise fair, but hang him that trusts ye.
_Jul_. Go, go, and pray be satisfyed with my eternal Love.--
_Fran_. How fain she'd have me gone now; ah, subtle Serpent! is not this
plain demonstration,--I shall murder her, I find the Devil great with
me. [_Aside still_.
_Jul_.--What is't thou pausest on?
_Fran_. The wicked Dissimulation of villainous Woman. [_Aloud to her_.
_Jul_. _Francisco!_
_Fran_. Oh thou Monster of Ingratitude, have I caught thee? You'd have
me gone, wou'd ye? ay, to Heaven, I believe, like a wicked Woman as you
are, so you were rid of me. Go,--and be satisfyed of my eternal love
--ah, Gipsey,--no, Gentlewoman, I am a tuff bit, and will hold you
tugging till your heart ake.
_Jul_. Why, was there such hurt in desiring you to go that you might
make haste back again,--Oh, my fears!
_Fran_. That you might receive a Lover,--'tis plain--and my
Indignation's high.
_Jul_. Heav'n knows I meant--
_Fran_. Only to cuckold me a little,--get you in,--where I will swear
thee by Bell, Book and Candle,--get you in, I say,--go, go,--I'll
watch for your Lover, and tell him how unkind he was to stay so long,
I will.--
[_Ex_. Julia, _he stands just in the door_, Carlos _advances_.
_Car_. I hear no noise, sure 'twas he,--and he's gone in--
To reap those Joys he knows not how to value,
And I must languish for; I'll stay a little--perhaps _Jacinta_ may
return again, for anything belonging to my _Julia_ is dear, even to
my Soul.
[_Goes just to the door_, Fran. _bolts out on him_.
_Fran_. Who's there?--what wou'd you have?--who wou'd you speak to?--who
do you come from?--and what's your business?
_Car_. Hah, 'tis the Sot himself;--my name is _Carlos_.
_Fran_. _Carlos_! what Father of _Belzebub_ sent him hither?--a plain
case;--I'll murder her out of hand.
_Car_.--And I wou'd speak to any body, Friend, that belongs to the fair
_Clara_,--if you are any of this house.
_Fran_. Only the Cuckold of the house, that's all;--my name, Sir, is
_Francisco_; but you, perhaps, are better acquainted with my Wife.
_Car_. _Francisco_, let me embrace you, my noble Brother, and chide you,
that you wou'd not visit me.
[_Going to embrace him, he flies off_.
_Fran_. And bring my Wife along with me.
_Car_. Both had been welcome--and all I have, you shou'd command.
_Fran_. For my Wife's sake--wha
