Here, Francis! Look you yonder. O but this,
This is the joke of the world! _Francis_. Hallo! a girl! And, by the Lord, Katrina!--But why here? _Valentine_. She's followed him, of course; she's heard of this Mad escapade and followed after him. _Francis_. She has not seen us yet. Now what to do? _Valentine_. Quick! Where's your handkerchief? Truss his wrists and ankles, And pull his coat up over his head and leave him! He won't get free of her again; she'll lead His wildness home and keep him tame for ever. Now! [_They fall on him, bind him, and blindfold him_. _Sylvan_. What are you doing? Whatever are you doing? Hell burn you, let me go! _Valentine_. There's worse to come. |
