_Har. Jun._ 'Twas all a hurry; yet, upon better recollecting of
myself, the man, who freed me, must be Towerson. _Fisc._ Hark, I hear the company walking this way; will you withdraw? _Har. Jun._ Withdraw, and Isabinda coming! _Fisc._ The wood is full of murderers; every tree, methinks, hides one behind it. _Har. Jun._ You have two qualities, my friend, that sort but ill together; as mischievous as hell could wish you, but fearful in the execution. _Fisc._ There is a thing within me, called a conscience which is not quite o'ercome; now and then it rebels a little, especially when I am alone, or in the dark. _Har. Jun._ The moon begins to rise, and glitters through the trees. _Isab._ [_Within._] Pray let us walk this way; that farther lawn, between the groves, is the most green and pleasant of any in this isle. _Har. Jun._ I hear my siren's voice, I cannot stir from hence.--Dear friend, if thou wilt e'er oblige me, divert the company a little, and give me opportunity a while to talk alone with her. _Fisc._ You'll get nothing of her, except it be by force. |
