Nurse, I but try'd thy patience; I believe
Thou would'st not tell that secret for the world,
No, tho' it were to _Jasper_.

_Nurse._ _Jasper's_ an honest fellow, and no Villain;
And did he know a secret, he could keep it.

_Eug._ But have you told it then?

_Nurse._ No matter what I've done, I will not tell you,
Because you vext and rated at me so.

_Eug._ Well, Nurse, I did believe you lov'd me better.
[Weeps.
And wou'd trust me with any thing you did,
But I perceive your kindness all for _Jasper_.

_Nurse._ I love _Jasper_ well, and love you too,
And you shall have no wrong I warrant you.

_Eug._ The thing is plain, I need not ask no further.
But where's the remedy? Nurse, prethee tell me,
What did _Francisco_ say unto my message?

_Nurse._ I, there's a bus'ness now worth asking for.
He sayes, he's glad you'l condescend to meet;
Nay, he's a glad man, I'le tell you that, i' faith,
He bid me say, you were a gallant Girle,
So to Revenge his quarrel on _Gerardo_.
