 | The Bride |  |
The second Scene.
To them a Servant hastely.Hor.
The news! what meanes your haste?
Ser.
Alasse sir you are rob'd.
Hor.
How's that?
Ser.
The French gallant sir which you lockt in the chamber,
is run away with your Remoras and Torpedos skins; and we
know not what besides.
Hor.
Persue him. I'd not loose those rarities
For halfe my state. Alasse sir they are valuable
'Bove any thing I own besides.
M. Fe.
Hath Monsieur given you the slip as he gave us? He
may chance be catcht in a halter for it.
Good.
Be patient sir, and with your best endeavor
Restore my cosin to his former safety,
I'le recompence your losse with things more valuable.
I have large trees of corall, and Zibetas
Both of strange form and colour; I expect
Some living Ermines.
Hor.
Would I had them, they
Should pacifie me quickly.
Good.
Sure that french man
Is guilty of the fact: why should he fly else?
If by your servants industry that Monsieur
May be brought back againe, 'twill be of consequence.
Something perhaps may be concluded from
A strict examination of him.
Hor.
I'le employ all the servants I have about it.
M. Fe.
They shall have my husbands authority with them;
wee'l make you a warrant.
Exeunt. Good. rema.
Good.
How various are th'events that may depend
Upon one action, yet the end propos'd
Not follow the intention! Accidents
Will interpose themselves; like those rash men
By some tumultuous difference, where perhaps
Their busie curiosity begets
New quarrells with new issues. I go on
From one consideration to another,
Yet can determin nothing.
