_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.
'Tis the most liberal Gentleman, this Gold
He gave me for my pains, nor can I blame you,
If you yield up the fort.
_Lam._ How? yield it up?
_Nurse._ I know not, he that loves, and gives so largely,
And a young Lord to boot, or I am cozen'd,
May enter every where.
_Lam._ Thou'lt make me angry.
_Enter_ Dinant, _and_ Cleremont.
_Nur._ Why, if you are, I hope here's one will please you,
Look on him with my Eyes, good luck go with you:
Were I young for your sake--
_Din._ I thank thee, Nurse.
_Nur._ I would be tractable, and as I am--
_Lam._ Leave the room,
So old, and so immodest! and be careful,
Since whispers will 'wake sleeping jealousies,
That none disturb my Lord. [_Exit Nurse._
_Cler._ Will you dispatch?
Till you come to the matter be not rapt thus,
Walk in, walk in, I am your scout for once,
You owe me the like service.
_Din._ And will pay it.
_Lam._ As you respect our lives, speak not so loud.
_Cler._ Why, do it in dumb shew then, I am silenc'd.
_Lam._ Be not so hasty, Sir, the golden Apples
Had a fell Dragon for their Guard, your pleasures
Are to be attempted with _Herculean_ danger,
Or never to be gotten.
_Din._ Speak the means.
_Lam._ Thus briefly, my Lord sleeps now, and alas,
Each Night, he only sleeps.
_Cler._ Go, keep her stirring.
_Lam._ Now if he 'wake, as sometimes he does,
He only stretches out his hand and feels,
Whether I am a bed, which being assur'd of,
He sleeps again; but should he miss me, Valour
Could not defend our lives.
_Din._ What's to be done then?
_Lam._ Servants have servile faiths, nor have I any
That I dare trust; on noble _Cleremont_
We safely may rely.
_Cler._ What man can do,
Command and boldly.
_Lam._ Thus then in my place,
You must lye with my Lord.
_Cler._ With an old man?
Two Beards together, that's preposterous.
_Lam._ There is no other way, and
