page 27 of 146 (18%)
Shall take care of thee for mine and a Friends sake
Of hers.

_Jasp._ Ay, ay, that's _Francisco_; but you have promis'd me
Often to tell me a secret concerns them; prethee
Do't now, Nurse.

_Nurse._ But will you ne're speak on't? If you do, I shall
Get no more money for thee, _Jasper_; that's the way,
I get all, Chuck; no, no, no matter what's between them,
Trust thou to me.

_Jasp._ Well, Nurse, I thought you had Lov'd me, but I see
You do not; you know I can keep secrets.

_Nurse._ Ay, but this is such a one I dare not tell it; besides,
It was not _Eugenia_s fault at first--alas, poor
Fool, she was in a sad taking, when she found
Her Couzen _Francisco_ in Bed with her.

_Jasp._ In Bed, sayst thou?

_Nurse._ Lord bless me! what have I done? If you should
Tell now.

_Jasp._ Ne're fear it, tell me all: I would not for the
World have mist this Story, it makes a full amends
For all my Crosses; come, Nurse, prethee quickly
Tell me all passages.
