SCENE VIII. _Enter LUCY._ Your absence, Sir, would please me. _Stu._ I'll not offend you, madam. [_Exit with Lucy._ _Mrs. Bev._ Why opens not the earth to swallow such a monster? Be conscience then his punisher, till heaven in mercy gives him penitence, or dooms him in its justice. SCENE IX. _Re-enter LUCY._ Come to my chamber, Lucy; I have a tale to tell thee, shall make thee weep for thy poor mistress. Yet heav'n the guiltless sufferer regards, And whom it most afflicts, it most rewards. [_Exeunt._ |
