_Har. Jun._ Wait but one month for the event. _Isab._ I will not wait one day, though I were sure to sink with him the next: So well I love my Towerson, I will not lose another sun, for fear he should not rise to-morrow. For yourself, pray rest assured, of all mankind, you should not be my choice, after an act of such ingratitude. _Har. Jun._ You may repent your scorn at leisure. _Isab._ Never, unless I married you. _Enter_ TOWERSON. _Tow._ Now, my dear Isabinda, I dare pronounce myself most happy: Since I have gained your kindred, all difficulties cease. _Isab._ I wish we find it so. _Tow._ Why, is aught happened since I saw you last? Methinks a sadness dwells upon your brow, like that I saw before my last long absence. You do not speak: My friend dumb too? Nay then, I fear some more than ordinary cause produces this. _Har. Jun._ You have no reason, Towerson, to be sad; you are the happy man. _Tow._ If I have any, you must needs have some. |
