_Eug._ _Gerardo_, said you! O thy mouth's a Sieve!
There's not a secret thou canst keep a moment; Did I not charge thee not to name _Gerardo_, Till I should speak of it myself to him? Nay, 'tis the greatest motive makes me meet him, For to prevent the mischiefs else may follow; Well, I am curst for sin, and thou art made The cause o' th' sin, and curse that does attend it. _Nur._ What, are you got to railing again for nothing? Pray who has most discretion to tell a bus'ness, You, or I? But you, forsooth, are grown so proud of late Because you hope to Marry _Don Gerardo_; That there's no speaking to you: Marry gip. 'Faith I shall spoil your Market. [Exit. _Eug._ Do thy worst (for I am resolv'd to suffer once for all) Death would be better then this Slavery, And that's the worst can happen Should she tell my Brother, or _Gerardo_, my whole story; That's dying once, but I by fear thus fool'd, Do hourly dye, since still I Death behold. [Exit. _Enter _Jasper_ and _Antonio_._ _Jasp._ My Lord, I'm confident this is the House, Wherein the Woman Lives I told you of. |
