_Nurse._ Yes, every Night; but I durst never tell you! Alas, she suckt these Breasts. _Anto._ Shew me this Night _Pedro_, in Bed with her, Or I will cut thy Tongue out. _Nurse._ 'Tis impossible when you are at home. _Anto._ I will contrive a Journey out of Town, but will at Twelve return, then let me in; for if you fail I'le cut your Throat. _Nurse._ I'le do my best. [Exit. _Anto._ _Pedro_! What sordid Devil prompted her to that? Why, I am known to all the World a Cuckold; The very Boys i'th' street must point at me; But hold, this new Intelligence struck out the old, And made me quite forget about _Francisco_. _Enter _Jasper_._ Oh, _Jasper_! I'm confirm'd my Wife's a Devil, And I will send her to the rest e're Morning; Go and contrive a Letter from _Don John_; Shall intimate he's sick, and wants my presence, Then I'le contrive the rest. |
