SCENE III. _A Street_.
_Enter_ Celinda, _drest as before_. _Cel_. Not one kind Wound to send me to my Grave, And yet between their angry Swords I ran, Expecting it from _Bellmour_, or my Brother's: Oh, my hard Fate! that gave me so much Misery, And dealt no Courage to prevent the shock. --Why came I off alive, that fatal Place Where I beheld my _Bellmour_, in th'embrace Of my extremely fair, and lovely Rival? --With what kind Care she did prevent my Arm, Which (greedy of the last sad-parting twine) I wou'd have thrown about him, as if she knew To what intent I made the passionate Offer? --What have I next to do, but seek a Death Wherever I can meet it--Who comes here? [_Goes aside_. _Enter Sir_ Timothy, Sham _and_ Sharp, _with Fidlers and Boy_. Sir _Tim_. I believe this is the Bed-chamber Window where the Bride and Bridegroom lies. _Sham_. Well, and what do you intend to do, if it be, Sir? Sir _Tim_. Why, first sing a Baudy Song, and then break the Windows, in revenge for the Affront was put upon me to night. |
