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

_Mrs. Bev._ You feel convulsed too--What is't disturbs you?

_Lew._ This sudden turn of joy perhaps. He wants rest too. Last

_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!
