Scene 6.

Enter Manuel wounded.
Man.
Oh cruel Witch! inhumane Sorceress!
I'm pepper'd now for all my wickedness:
Incarnate Devil! for my Ruine sent!
All Curses Men and Devils can invent,
And mine besides, fall on thy bloody Heart—

Enter Teresa with a Dagger in her hand, dragging in Leonella.
Ter.
Come! come along, I'll teach you a new Art
To couple; do ye roar in consort now?
Dry'd Dog! I was not good enough for you:
Would ye be yoak'd? I'll see ye yoak'd, I will,
You shall be joyn'd; what are you roaring still?
Silence! and hear your heavy Doom: Now Dame!
Now bold Hussey! was there no other Game?

64

No Pipe but mine to make you dance? I'll try
Who shall be Mistriss now, of you or I.

Leon.
Dear Madam! O Heav'ns! hear what I can say—

Ter.
Noble Signior! pray bow your head this way,
See your Ven'son quarter'd, and when that's done,
With you I'll finish what I have begun.

Man.
My Royal Donna! dear Teresa hold!
I'll be thy Slave—

Ter.
Poor Fool! thou art too old:
In Prayers spend thy time, for 'tis but short,
Or curse me if thou wilt, I care not for't.
Have at thee—

Enter Larasco running in his Armour, and Perez following him in his Shroud.
Lar.
Oh a Ghost! a Ghost away!—

Perez.
No Ghost! I am no Ghost! good Neighbors stay—

All run off in a fright, Perez pursuing them.
