SCENA IV.
DIANA, THERSANDER.Diana.
Let us consider what we are to do,
She loves thee infinitely, and J have
Command from her to speak to thee again,
In her behalf.
Thersander.
Advise me what to do.
Diana.
Since the Nymph loves thee with such passion,
As I perceive she doth, 'tis fit thou flatter
Her grief a little, otherwise I fear
That I shall lose thee after having found thee.
What mischief can she not do, when provoked?
Thersander.
Since there needs but to feign all will succeed.
Diana.
In the mean time, Ismenia, will be carefull
To inquire for us, when the Merchant-ship
That's bound for Sevill will be fully ready
To set sail from the harbour; we shall hire him
To land us where we will; till when, our care
Must be not to offend the Nymph, for fear
She ruine us; she'l presently be here.
She's come already; act the Lover well,
Dissemble handsomly, therein consists
All that we can expect.
