LORD TOUCH. Go, and thy own infamy pursue thee. You stare as you
were all amazed,--I don't wonder at it,--but too soon you'll know mine, and that woman's shame. SCENE the last. LORD TOUCHWOOD, LORD FROTH, LADY FROTH, LADY PLYANT, SIR PAUL, CYNTHIA, MELLEFONT, MASKWELL, MELLEFONT disguised in a parson's habit and pulling in MASKWELL. MEL. Nay, by heaven you shall be seen. Careless, your hand. Do you hold down your head? Yes, I am your chaplain, look in the face of your injured friend; thou wonder of all falsehood. LORD TOUCH. Are you silent, monster? MEL. Good heavens! How I believed and loved this man! Take him hence, for he's a disease to my sight. LORD TOUCH. Secure that manifold villain. [Servants seize him.] CARE. Miracle of ingratitude! BRISK. This is all very surprising, let me perish. LADY FROTH. You know I told you Saturn looked a little more angry than usual. |
