I by all what d' ye mean pray Sir Tru. Why then you ravisht her by Heav'n you ravisht her Alas she 's weak and tender very tender And was not able to resist that strength Which youth and furious lust did arm thee with 'T was basely done above expression basely And I would presently revenge it fully But that my sword would take from the laws justice And from thy shame Pun. I ravish her By this light I scorn 't Tru. You did enjoy her body Did you not Pun. I did so Tru. You did I prithee do not say you did so This is to brag of the vile act th' ast done But I shall spoil your pride and shameful glory Which your base sin affords you Pun. You bid me tell you the truth what would you ha'me do Tru. Do I would have thee fix thy adulterous eye Upon the ground which thy cursed feet dishonour And blush more red then is the sin th' ast acted What would I have thee do I 'd have thee weep Shed as true tears as she does for thy fault And sigh away thy body into air What would I have thee do I●d have thee kill thy self And sacrifice thy life to her wrong'd Soul Canst thou refuse to do all this for her For whom th' ast damn'd thy self Pun. We were contracted first e'er I enjoyed her Tru. Didst thou enjoy her then How durst thou do it Why she was mine I tell thee she was mine All the Seas wealth should not have bought her from me While she remain'd as spotless as my love And so she did remain till thy sin stain'd her I tell thee to that hour she was more innocent Then thou false man wert in thy mothers womb Didst thou enjoy her Either fetch back that word Say nay I 'll have thee swear thou didst not touch her Or by those joyes which thou hast rob'd me of I 'll kill thee strait Pun.

O Heav'ns O most unheard of villany Th hast done a crime so great that there is hardly Mercy enough in Heav'n to pardon thee Tell me for now I 'll argue mildly with thee Why should you seek t' undo a harmless maid To rob her of her friend● her life perhaps I 'm sure her fame which is much dearer to her 'T was an inhuman act an act so barbarous That Nations unciviliz'd would abhor it I dare say boldly she nev'r injured you For she was gentle as the breath of Zephyrus And if she e'er did but begin a thought Of wronging any man she would have wept Before she thought it out Pun. I had rather be a pickl'd Oister then i'th is case I am in now Tru. Is Lucia abus'd and I stand here T expostulate with words her injuries Draw for I 'll talk no more with thee Pun. D' ye hear Sir by Heaven I lay with her but we were contracted first will you be pleas'd to hear me Tru. No be gone Pun. Most willingly Fare ye well heartily Sir I wish you a good night-cap Exit Tru. The want of sleep and diet has distempered me If I stay thus I shall be quite distracted Me thinks a kinde of strangeness seizes me And yet if I go home I shall be forc'd To marry with Aurelia Is it possible There should be women good if Lucia be not They are not sure She lookt as well as any And spoke as well too Act. 4.
