alone.
The same time will I watch,
Till our stray'd heifer shall return from grazing
To her old stable.—What now shall I do?—
The captain gave me charge of her, and now
If I impeach her, I'm undone;—again,
If I am silent, and 'tis blaz'd abroad,
I then too am undone.—What can be more
Abandon'd, more audacious, than a woman?
The while I was upon the tiles, this hussy
Stole out o'doors.—A most audacious act!
And should the captain know it, on my troth
He'd pull the house down,—tuck me up directly.—
No, no, I'll hold my tongue, rather than end
My days so scurvily.—I cannot guard
One that will sell herself.
