Scene III.

Enter to them Montenor.
Hircan.
Well gentle Sheepherd.

Mon.
Sister do you think
(To Angelic.)
Lysis, the Sheepherdesse is come to see you?
Lucida brings her—and you faire Charita—
I pray prepare your selfe to entertain her.

Char.
Be confident I will doe what I can;
He is confirm'd then of his Transformation.

Mon.
He relies wholly upon Hircan's skill

Angel.
We then shall see th'effects: Where left ye him?

Mon.
Some thirty paces hence I came before.

Hircan.
Ile go then and prepare what's to be done.
It's very necessary I withdraw,
Lest if he finde me here, he should suspect
My art, that hitherto has hit so well.
I must appeare like a Magician here.

Ex.
Angel.
That you may then avoid him, go this way,
I heare Lucida's tongue, th'are in the court.
What do you ow to this excess of Love?

(To Charita.)
Char.
In Pastorals I shall be very famous.

Mon.
Anselm knowes nothing of this Raillery.

Angel.
He'll be surpriz'd then with the more delight.
Let's here our Sheepherdess's complement.
See, there she is.—
