_Lew._ This villain here, disturbs him. Remove him from his sight:
and for your lives, see that you guard him. (_Stukely is taken off by Dawson and Bates_) How is it, Sir? _Bev._ 'Tis here--and here--(_Pointing to his head and heart._) And now it tears me! _Mrs. Bev._ You feel convulsed too--What is't disturbs you? _Lew._ This sudden turn of joy perhaps. He wants rest too. Last night was dreadful to him. His brain is giddy. _Char._ Ay, never to be cured. Why, brother!--O! I fear! I fear! _Mrs. Bev._ Preserve him, heaven!--My love! my life! look at me!--How his eyes flame! _Bev._ A furnace rages in this heart--I have been too hasty. _Mrs. Bev._ Indeed!--O me! O me!--Help, Jarvis! Fly, fly for help! Your master dies else--Weep not, but fly! (_Exit Jarvis_) What is this hasty deed?--Yet do not answer me--My fears have guessed it. _Bev._ Call back the messenger. 'Tis not in medicine's power to help me. _Mrs. Bev._ Is it then so? |
