_Enter_ ISABINDA _and_ JULIA.

_Isab._ Do I hold my love, do I embrace him after a tedious absence of
three years? Are you indeed returned, are you the same? Do you still
love your Isabinda? Speak before I ask you twenty questions more: For
I have so much love, and so much joy, that if you don't love as well
as I, I shall appear distracted.

_Tow._ We meet then both out of ourselves, for I am nothing else but
love and joy; and to take care of my discretion now, would make me
much unworthy of that passion, to which you set no bounds.

_Isab._ How could you be so long away?

_Tow._ How can you think I was? I still was here, still with you,
never absent in my mind.

_Har. Jun._ She is a most charming creature; I wish I had not seen
her. [_Aside._

_Isab._ Now I shall love your God, because I see that he takes care of
lovers: But, my dear Englishman, I pr'ythee let it be our last of
absence; I cannot bear another parting from thee, nor promise thee to
live three other years, if thou again goest hence.

_Tow._ I never will without you.

_Har. Sen._ I said before, we should but trouble ye.
