SCENE VI.
Enter Officer.Officer.
I seize you Prisoners to Prince Casimir.
Amel.
Stand off, officious Slave;
I am his Wife.
Officer.
We know it, Madam, 'tis our Lord's Command,
To bring you both to close Confinement.
[Amel. to Rod. aside.]
Since he is so rash,
Let us resolve him nothing;
But still let this unjust Suspicion plague him,
Till a fit Time to prove our Innocence.
Enter Casimir.
Cas.
[Disguis'd.]
O vile lascivious Pair!
Rod.
O Casimir!
Cas.
You have framed, no doubt,
Some well concerted Story;
But I'm deaf to every thing but Vengeance,
Take from my Presence such detested Objects.
Some well concerted Story;
But I'm deaf to every thing but Vengeance,
Take from my Presence such detested Objects.
Ah Traitress, wicked and impure!
How can I possibly endure
To see that odious Face?
Oh that my Heart had not been set
On one who could her Truth forget,
And suffer such Disgrace.
