_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. |
