till morning in some Room: This, as I hope for heav'n, my Lord, is true. _Anto._ Then 'tis as true, that I must never hope for it, For I have kill'd a Wife of such obedience-- But hold, I'le pump the Nurse--who set her on To tell me this. [Enter Nurse frighted. _Nurse._ O! whether will you drive me! Be gone, be gone! _Anto._ Here, here she comes, I'le make her tell me all. _Jasp._ But I'le prevent the story if I can.-- _Jasper_ Runs Nurse through but is staid by _Antonio_. _Anto._ What, does the Villain mean to kill her yet? _Jasp._ Does she not deserve it? To invent such lyes, And do such mischiefs with them. _Nurse._ O thou damn'd Rogue! 'Twas thou that made me do't. _Jasp._ You lying Witch, be damn'd-- [Offers at her again. _Anto._ Forbear, you Rogue, I'le do as much for you else. Speak, why you did it? _Nurse._ My Lord, he threaten'd me, and made me do't; And taught me to call _Pedro_ when you knockt. _Ped._ Look to your self, my Lord, he'l kill you else. [_Jasper_ runs _Anto._ behind. _Jasp._ This way is only left--hell take your Tongue. _Anto._ Ah, thou hast kill'd me; yet I have strength enough To send thy Soul to hell. [They fight. A noise without. _Jasper_ is mortally wounded. _Jasp._ 'Tis done, I am catch'd at last in my Own Trap. Oh, I deserve my Death for want Of fore-sight, to let him Live a spye upon my Actions. I should have serv'd you thus, and thus, And thus--and you too thus. [Runs _Pedro_ through as he lyes, and Nurse. _Ped._ Oh, O, O! [_Pedro_ and Nurse Dye. _Anto._ Infernal Monster! how his malice lasts. _Within._ This way's the noise. _Enter Captain, Watch, and Servant._ _Capt._ What horrid sight is this? We come too late. _Anto._ Too late indeed, except you'd come to save The best of Wives that there lyes murder'd By my accursed hand. _Capt._ What, _Caelia_ dead too! What made you do't, my Lord? _Jasp._ Alas! he cannot tell; the Jealous fool Was but an Instrument in my Revenge; 'Tis only I can tell you why she dy'd. But yet I would not give that satisfaction, Did I not fear my Name would be forgotten, Except this Tale of my Revenge was known; In which I shall live famous.-- _Serv._ O thou Dogg! Dost glory in the mischiefs thou hast done? _Jasp._ I, and have reason; name the man that ever Did in one Day contrive so many Murders, And make 'em all Successful. _Capt._ But what should move thee
