any that dares venture on me. [Aside. _Pedro._ _Callis_, make it your Business to watch this wild Cat. As for you, _Florinda_, I've only try'd you all this while, and urg'd my Father's Will; but mine is, that you would love _Antonio_, he is brave and young, and all that can compleat the Happiness of a gallant Maid-- This Absence of my Father will give us opportunity to free you from _Vincentio_, by marrying here, which you must do to morrow. _Flor._ To morrow! _Pedro._ To morrow, or 'twill be too late-- 'tis not my Friendship to _Antonio_, which makes me urge this, but Love to thee, and Hatred to _Vincentio_-- therefore resolve upon't to morrow. _Flor._ Sir, I shall strive to do, as shall become your Sister. _Pedro._ I'll both believe and trust you-- Adieu.

[Aside.] --Madam, if I thought your Brother might not know it, and I might wait on you, for by my troth I'll not trust young Girls alone. _Flor._ Thou see'st my Brother's gone already, and thou shalt attend and watch us.
