calling.
Ho, Clidamant!
MELISSA.
It is enough, let's go,
I hear some noise, and would not be seen here
I'rh' night.—
Exeunt Melissa, Diana, Thersander.
MELINTUS,
continuing to call.
Ismenia, Clidamant! they hear,
But flie me, and the night robs my sight of them;
But this is not Ismenia, and I am
Deceived much, if I saw not the gate,
The stature, and the gesture of Diana;
Yes, Clidamant abus'd me with a lie,
Diana builds his fortune at my cost,
And that note which he would conceal from me
Without doubt was subscrib'd with her fair hand;
Yes, 'twas Dianaes, though he read Ismenia,
To spare my grief a little, and my trouble.
How simple was J that J followed
Not close upon his steps: but soft, methinks,
J hear a noise, perhaps it may be he.
