Scena 3.

Anter. Endym. Pandora, Placenta.
Anter.
O, O.—
Would I could loose my selfe, become a Mouse,
Or flie, that I might find a cabbin here,
To hide my selfe from these same women. O,—
He climbes the tree.
But I will climbe this tree—

Pla.
I wonder much
Where our two loving friends should lye so close;
There's not a place where they doe use, but wee
Haue visited this morning. I doe long
To giue them this most pleasing spectacle:
But I will now search the Iustice his house,


Perchance they may be there.
Exit Pla.

Pan.
Endymion,
Another kisse; loe thus I will reuenge
She kisses Endym.
My selfe on those two frozen Louers; thus,
And thus, and thus—Revenge, how sweet thou art
Vnto a woman!

Ant.
O—I am afrayd
They will offend, commit, commit before mee.

Pan.
And canst thou loue me, sweet Endymion?

Endy.
Behold a tast what I can doe.

Pan.
These kisses
He kisses her.
Haue not that masculine rellish yet me thinks,
Which I enjoy'd in the manly embraces
Redit in scenā Pla.
Of Lucius, or Neander.

Plac.
It is strange,
Not one about this house that can instruct mee
What should become of them, I wonder at it;
But I am glad that Constantina's flight
Is not suspected yet, so well that Boy
Doe's personate her.

Pand.
Are they not there Placenta?

Pla.
St; No. O yes your Vncle is at home.
It will not yet bee dinner time this houre;
You may embrace another walke.

Pand.
Content;
Endymion, wil't please you t'accompany us?

Exeunt.
