_Din._ Dost thou love me dearly? Dar'st thou for my sake? _Cler._ Any thing that's honest. _Din._ Though it be dangerous? _Cler._ Pox o' dangerous. _Din._ Nay wondrous dangerous. _Cler._ Wilt thou break my heart? _Din._ Along with me then. _Cler._ I must part to morrow. _Din._ You shall, you shall, be faithful for this night, And thou hast made thy friend. _Cler._ Away, and talk not. [_Exeunt._ _Enter_ Lamira, _and Nurse_. _Lam._ O Nurse, welcome, where's _Dinant_? _Nurse._ He's at my back.
