Dutchman, I do hate him,--but I would convey him smoothly out of the
world, and without noise; they will say we are ungrateful else in
England, and barbarously cruel; now I could swallow down the _thing_
ingratitude and the _thing_ murder, but the names are odious.

_Har. Jun._ What would you have me do then?

_Fisc._ Let him enjoy his love a little while, it will break no
squares in the long run of a man's life; you shall have enough of her,
and in convenient time.

_Har. Jun._ I cannot bear he should enjoy her first; no, it is
determined; I will kill him bravely.

_Fisc._ Ay, a right young man's bravery, that's folly: Let me alone,
something I'll put in practice, to rid you of this rival ere he
marries, without your once appearing in it.

_Har. Jun._ If I durst trust you now?

_Fisc._ If you believe that I have wit, or love you.

_Har. Jun._ Well, sir, you have prevailed; be speedy, for once I will
rely on you. Farewell. [_Exit_ HARMAN.

_Fisc._ This hopeful business will be quickly spoiled, if I not take
exceeding care of it.--Stay,--Towerson to be killed, and privately,
that must be laid down as the groundwork, for stronger reasons than a
young man's passion; but who shall do it? No Englishman will, and much
I fear, no Dutchman dares attempt it.
