_Har. Jun._ [_Within._] I'll bear you where your cries shall not be
heard. _Isab._ [_As further off._] Succour, sweet heaven! oh succour me! SCENE II. _Enter_ HARMAN _Senior,_ FISCAL, VAN HERRING, BEAMONT, COLLINS, _and_ JULIA. _Beam._ You have led us here a fairy's round in the moonshine, to seek a bridegroom in a wood, till we have lost the bride. _Col._ I wonder what's become of her? _Har. Sen._ Got together, got together, I warrant you, before this time; you Englishmen are so hot, you cannot stay for ceremonies. A good honest Dutchman would have been plying the glass all this while, and drunk to the hopes of Hans in Kelder till 'twas bed-time. _Beam._ Yes, and then have rolled into the sheets, and turned o' the t'other side to snore, without so much as a parting blow; till about midnight he would have wakened in a maze, and found first he was married by putting forth a foot, and feeling a woman by him; and, it may be, then, instead of kissing, desired yough Fro to hold his head. _Col._ And by that night's work have given her a proof, what she might expect for ever after. |
