Scæna quinta.
Enter Paulina, Donusa, Carazie, Manto.Paul.
Sit Madam, it is fit that I attend you;
And pardon, I beseech you, my rude language,
To which the sooner you will be inuited,
When you shall vnderstand, no way was left me
To free you from a present execution,
But by my personating that, which neuer
My nature was acquainted with.
Donu.
I beleeue you.
Paul.
You will when you shall vnderstand, I may
Receiue the honour to be knowen vnto you
By a neerer name. And not to wracke you further,
The man you please to fauour is my brother,
No Marchant, Madam, but a Gentleman
Of the best ranke in Venice.
Donu.
I reioyce in't
But what's this to his freedome? for my selfe,
Were he well off, I were secure.
Paul.
I haue
A present meanes, not plotted by my selfe,
But a religious man, my confessor,
That may preserue all, if we had a seruant
Whose faith we might relie on.
Donu.
She that's now
Your slaue was once mine, had I twenty liues
I durst commit them to her trust.
Manto.
O Madam,
By any thing howeuer desperate
You please to impose vpon me.
Paul.
Troth these teares
I thinke cannot be counterfeit, I beleeue her,
And if you please vvill try her.
Donusa.
At your perill;
There is no further danger can looke towards me.
Paul.
This only then, canst thou vse meanes to carry
This bakemeate to Vitelli?
Manto.
With much ease,
I am familiar vvith the gard; beside,
It being knowne it vvas I that betrayde,
My entrance hardly vvill of them be question'd?
Paul.
About it then, say that it vvas sent to him
From his Donusa, bid him search the midst of't
He there shall finde a cordiall.
Manto,
What I doe
Shall speake my care and faith.
Exit Manto.
Donu.
Good fortune vvith thee.
Paul.
You cannot eate.
Donu.
The time vve thus abuse
We might imploy much better.
Paul.
I am glad
To heare this from you. As for you Carazie,
If your intents doe prosper, make choyce whither
You'l steale away with your two Mistresses
Or take your fortune.
Cara.
I'll be gelded twice first;
Hang him that stayes behind.
Paul.
I waite you Madame,
Were but my brother off, by the command
Of the doting Viceroy there's no garde dare stay me.
And I will safely bring you to the place
Where we must expect him.
Donu.
Heauen be gracious to vs.
Exeunt.
