onour in you?
_Limb._ Well, honour is honour, and I must go: But I shall never get
me such another Pug again! O, my heart! my poor tender heart! it is
just breaking with Pug's unkindness! [_They drag him out._
SCENE II.--WOODALL _and_ TRICKSY _discovered in the Garden-house._
_Enter_ GERVASE _to them._
_Gerv._ Make haste, and save yourself, sir; the enemy's at hand: I
have discovered him from the corner, where you set me sentry.
_Wood._ Who is it?
_Gerv._ Who should it be, but Limberham? armed with a two-hand fox. O
Lord, O Lord!
_Trick._ Enter quickly into the still-house, both of you, and leave me
to him: There is a spring-lock within, to open it when we are gone.
_Wood._ Well, I have won the party and revenge, however: A minute
longer, and I had won the tout. [_They go in: She locks the Door._
_Enter_ LIMBERHAM, _with a great Sword._
_Limb._ Disloyal Pug!

methinks you should be the last man to upbraid me with it.
_Limb._ I am sure you are of the family of your abominable great
grandam Eve; but produce the man, or, by my father's soul--
_Trick._ Still I am in the dark.
_Limb._ Yes, you have been in the dark; I know it: But I shall bring
you to light immediately.
_Trick._ You are not jealous?
_Limb._ No; I am too certain to be jealous: But you have a man here,
that shall be nameless; let me see him.
_Trick._ Oh, if that be your business, you had best search: And when
you have wearied yourself, and spent your idle humour, you may find me

_Limb._ You may go, madam; but I shall beseech your ladyship to leave
