SCENE III.

Bellmour, Woodly, Courtney.
Court.
Bargrave, so often baulk'd, now vows Revenge,
And Arguments are vain to bring him back.

Bell.
Is he then gone?

Court.
He is—and much enrag'd
At the Repulse he met with from Belinda:
But most resents your obstinate Aversion
To the propos'd Alliance. Shall I (oft he questions)
Give Bellmour Fortune, who denies me Favour?

Wood.
I'll try again to pacify his Wrath—

Court.
Or sink beneath his Burden.

Bell.
O, my Friend,
Approach him not. 'Tis dangerous—

Wood.
Then Ill go.
Welcome the Danger that may save my Friend.
