Scena prima.

Enter Fortunio alone
I Knowe Virginia loues Fedele best,
Medusa likewise may be sent to flowte:
My selfe her fauour neuer yet possest,
If none of these, yet all may make me doubte.
How seruice should with bright triumphing face,
Disperse the cloudes, that put my ioyes to chace.
Yet if Fedele be not lik'te alone,
Or if Medusa of true promise be:
Or faire Virginia will be mou'de by mone.
If not all these, yet one may pleasure me.
Therefore, to giue the watch woord I'le beginne,
Whistle.
Good lucke, the doore opens, I'le enter in.

Exit.
Enter Atilia.
Attilia.
Take heede Attilia, was not that Fortunio thou did'ste see?
T'is now midnight, so late abroade i'th streete what maketh he?
I see Pedante is not heer, I muse he meetes me not,
I litle thought he could so soone his promise haue forgot.
If he be maister of his woord, and loue me as his life,
The time is come to shewe the same, and take me for his wife.
