_Nurse._ I tell no more, my mind misgives me I've said
Too much already. _Jasp._ Not tell me more, Old Beldame? Speak it quickly, Or what I know shall soon unto my Lord. _Nurse._ How now! Is this dissembling too? _Jasp._ No, 'tis as great a truth as what you told me of, _Don Francisco_'s Bedding with _Eugenia_; tell me the Rest, and by it save your Life. _Nurse._ Dear _Jasper_, be not angry, and I will. _Jasp._ Come, Nurse, do it, and then we'l kiss and be Friends. I shall have use of her. [Aside. _Nurse._ Now thou shalt have my heart; and thus it is: _Don Francisco_ doth often meet _Eugenia_ i'th' Garden, who, to avoid suspition, after her Sisters In Bed, by my means gets her Night-Gown, and Puts it on so to avoid being known, shou'd any see her. _Jasp._ Oh, Excellent! when do they meet again? _Nurse._ I've promis'd him this Night, though she was loath, Till I told her he would but take his leave, for she's Grown a little backward, now she's to marry _Don Gerardo_. |
