Aur.Why does this little Foppitee laugh always? 'tis such a Ninny that she betrays her Mistris, and thinks she does no hurt at all, no, not she; well, wretched Lovers, come along with me now, (but softly upon your lives, as you would steal to a Mistris through her Mothers Chamber) and I'l shew you this severe Penelope, lockt up alone in a Chamber with your Rival.

Scene 6.

And presently Aurelia, Cutter, and Worm appear at a little Window.

And a rash Oath that's cancell'd in the making,
We will pursue our Loves to the last point,
And buy that Paradise though 't be with Martyrdom!

She's naked in my heart with all her Beauties.

Wor.
