Scena VIII.

To them Dorcas.
Dor.
He would not offer't would he?

Br.
We have been
In danger to be searcht; hereafter we
Must first be questiond by an Officer,
And bring it under hands we are no Men,
Or have nought dangerous about us, before
We shall obtaine accesse.

New.
We doe expect
In time your Husband to preserve you chast,
Should keep you with a gard of Eunuchs; or
Confine you, like Jtalians, to a roome
Where no male Beast is pictur'd, least the sight
Of ought that can beget, should stir desires.

Dor.
I mar'le, Sir, who did licence you to prie,
Or spie out any friends that come to me;
It showes an unbred Curiosity;
Which J'le correct hereafter, you will dare
To break up Letters shortly, and examine
My Taylor, least when he brings home my gowne
There be a Man in't. J'le have whom I list,
In what disguise I list, and when I list,
And not have your fower eies so sawcy, to peep,
As if you by prevention meant to kill
A Basilisk.

War.
Mistresse, doe what you list,
Send for your Couch out, lie with your Gallants there
Before us all. Or if you have a minde
To fellowes that can lift weights, I can call
Two Footmen too:

Sea.
You are too patient, Sir.
Send for the Marshall, and discharge your house.

Ms Sea.
Truly a handsome woman, what pittie tis

61

She is not honest?

Ms Holl.
Two proper Gentlemen too.
Lord that such Pictures might be sent to me.
