_Fisc._ Now, my fair mistress, we shall have the opportunity which I
have long desired. [_To_ JULIA. _Per._ The governor is now a-sleeping; this is his hour of afternoon's repose, I'll go when he is awake. [_Returning._ _Fisc._ He slept early this afternoon; I left him newly waked. _Per._ Well, I go then, but with an aching heart. [_Exit._ _Fisc._ So, at length he's gone. _Jul._ But you may find he was jealous, by his delay. _Fisc._ If I were as you, I would give evident proofs, should cure him of that disease for ever after. _Enter_ PEREZ _again._ _Per._ I have considered on't, and if you would go along with me to the governor, it would do much better. _Fisc._ No, no, that would make the matter more suspicious. The devil take thee for an impertinent cuckold! [_Aside._ _Per._ Well, I must go then. [_Exit_ PEREZ. _Jul._ Nay, there was never the like of him; but it shall not serve his turn, we'll cuckold him most furiously. |
