And leave you to the mercy of these villains That will not wooe ye much. _Ana._ Save my reputation, And free me from these slaves. _Cler._ By this kiss I'le do it, And from the least dishonour they dare aim at you, I have a Priest too, shall be ready. _Ana._ You are forward. _Lam._ Is this my constant cousin? how she whispers, Kisses and huggs the thief! _Ana._ You'l offer nothing. _Cler._ Till all be tyed, Not as I am a Gentleman. _Ana._ Can you relieve my Aunt too? _Cler._ Not yet Mistris, But fear nothing, all shall be well, away quickly It must be done i'th' moment or-- _Ana._ I am with ye. _Cler._ I'le know now who sleeps by me, keep your standing. [_Ex._ Cler. _and_ Anabel. _Lam._ Well, go thy way, and thine own shame dwell with thee. Is this the constancy she shew'd, the bravery? The dear love and the life she ow'd her kinsmen?
