_Nurse._ I, sure, for he makes Love to her, and she's so hot Upon't, that she vows after this Night never to meet _Francisco_ any more; but I'le go Live with her, And so shalt thou. _Jasp._ Ay, so I will--i'th' Garden, sayst thou, and in her Sisters Gown, no body with them! _Nurse_ Yes, the Lord _Sebastian_, he knows all, and alwayes Waits upon 'em. _Jasp._ That's well, keep thou the secret close, and ne're fear me; But if my Lord should ask suspitiously questions About his Wife--name _Pedro_ to him, say, when he's From Home, that Fellow stayes too long within her Chamber, and say, that _Flora_ waits; leave me to prove It true. _Nurse._ Why, 'tis not so, I dare not tell my Lord so damn'd a Lye. _Jasp._ Why? Y'are a Fool, there shall no hurt come of it, Only we'l be Reveng'd of _Pedro_, and that Slut, for They're our Enemies; besides, if you won't, I'le swear You told me so, and moreover, let him know all the Rest y'have told me. _Nurse._ Nay, don't be angry, and I'le do any thing. |
