But if your Lady-ship knows any Young Dame, that wants a strong back to do her drudgery, Though it be in her Lord's absence, I'm content. _Eugen._ What, is the Fellow mad? _Jasp._ No, Madam, not mad at all, but can as soberly keep Councel as the best Young Gallant of 'em all; and am As able to do the feat: Please your Lady-ship to try me, And praise me as you find; if you dislike my work, I'le lose my labour, and have nothing for my pains. _Eugen._ Oh, strange, unheard-of Impudence! Out, Villain. [Ex. _Jasp._ So scornful! Villain! Nay, if you call me so, 'tis time To be so; what a Devil ayls my face, that she contemns Me thus? May be my Nose is not long enough she thinks, Pox on her Pride, 'tis that or'e-comes her Leachery--I must Alter my Trade, for I was ne're born I see to thrive by Love; then I'le set up a shop of hatred, and the Wares I Vent shall be Revenge, that may hit; but hold, my Lord. _Enter _Antonio_._ _Anto._ What have I got? Am I more satisfy'd By this same Paper then I was before? No, not at all; and yet why should I not? There's not a thought set down concerneth me-- Yet that's her policy-- She either fear'd that I should get the Paper, Or else on purpose did contrive I might; But how can I know that? This Jealousie, If it continue long, will make me mad. _Jasp._ Well, the Devil has put him on this pin meerly To do me a kindness. _Anto._ And yet it must continue, who can Cure it? Ay, there's it, who can Cure it? Then I must be mad! Nay, I'm mad already, stark mad!-- _Jasp._ My good Lord. _Anto._ What's the matter? I fear he heard me. [Aside. _Jasp._ I come to take leave of your Lordship, I have Enemies I hear have turn'd me going. _Anto._ Is't not deservedly, thou Goat? _Jasp._ Yes, yes, it may be so, since they will have it so; But if I had never seen, I had ne're been turn'd Away for doing: If I were as ready to make Mischief, as I am fear'd to be; Nurse and I had not Been only the Sufferers. _Anto._ Explain your Riddle, Sirrah. _Jasp._ Nay, let my Tongue come out e're I say any thing to Disquiet your Lordship, I love you better. _Anto._ Disquiet me! What lyes within thy power to say that Can disquiet me? _Jasp._ Nay, nothing it may be, my Lady is my Lady, and You are a kind Lord, that's all I know; so begging Your Lordships Discharge, I'm gone, and then their Fears are over. _Anto._ Villain, thou'st given me poyson; my veins swell With it
