ves in _Plato's_ Kingdoms, Which Poets fancy that the damn'd inhabit. _Jasp._ My Lord, my Lord. [Enter _Jasper_. _Anto._ What now? _Jasp._ The Garden Door just opens, step this way, lest You be seen. [They stand close. _Enter _Francisco_ and _Sebastian_._ _Fran._ 'Tis hardly late enough, we'l stay a little, For I perceive no light i' th' usual Window. _Sebast._ But are you confident _Antonio's_ absent? _Fran._ I'm told for certain that he went from home To see _Don John Valasco_, who is sick. _Sebast._ Nay, then with safety we may walk a turn, Though I confess, do what I can, my fears Surmount my Reason and perswades there's danger. _Fran._ A hundred times I've past it in as much, Yet then with confidence you slighted all; Prethee forbear to urge them any more; I'm half turn'd Coward with your fears already. _Sebast._ Let's take a turn then further from the House, And by some other talk divert our thoughts.
