Scen. 5.

Armillus. Cosma
Ar.
What furies haunt this groue? is not this Cosma?
Yes: here again she comes most blessed heauens,
Enter Cosma
I see that yee are more gracious then Hell's spightfull.
Cosma?

Cos.
Armillus.

Ar.
My loue.

Cos.
Sure thou hast done some cruell murder,
And the vnexpiate ghost thus haunts thee.

Ar.
I neuer thought it, Cosma: rather some power of these woods,
Too enuious of my good hap, and iealous of thy fauor,
Thus crosses our desires: but if againe
He chance to interpose his horrid face,
I'le rather dye, then leaue thy wisht embrace.
Enter Pas disguised.
All hell and furies haunt vs.
Exit Ar.

Pas.
Well ouertaken, Nimph, start not, you are sure,
See I am your familiar.

Cos.
Beshrew your heart for thus affrighting me.

Pas.
Doe you not blush to cast your loue vpon a man,
Whose loue is as himselfe an alien? to thine owne
Thou mak'st thee strange, familiar to vnknowne.

Cos.
Pish, thou art foolish, did I euer binde thee to me
Only? why shouldst thou then confine me
To thy sole passion? so oft before
You men haue chang'd, that you can change no more:
From bad to worse, from worse, to worst of all:
There lie you now, and can no lower fall:
And as you wisht that we should neuer roue,
We pray as fast, that you at length could moue.
Cease then for shame to raile at womens ranging:
When men begin, women will leaue their changing.
Farewell.

Pas.
Nay soft, I am dog well bitten,
And will not part so easily with my prey,
I haue not tasted venison many a day.

Cos.
I cannot well deny thee, 'tis thy right:
Thou well hast purchast it, this be thy right.

Exeunt.
