Scena, 7.

Erminia, Aurindo, Cleander, Amynter.
Er.
Fear not Aurindo, here you are more safe,
then in your innocence, for that I see
may be violated, but my cabinet shall never be
I hope; there you may securely rest your self,
till the danger's o're; and whilst you rest you there,
all my business shall be to think,
how to remedy your Love as well as fear.

Aur.
Blessings, such as Saints, in their extasies
do wish, and pray for, (Madam) reward you
for your excellent goodness.

Er.
“Good deeds besides themselves
need no reward.—I will not trust my woman,
but for your more security
will lock you up my self.

Aur.
You are my Angel-guardian, & as I fear
no danger so long as I am here,
so I hope all good from your protection.

Clea.
So there's provision
of lust now stor'd up for night;
but I may chance mar their banquet.—
