ape.-- _Belvile_, I conjure you to walk under my Chamber-window, from whence I'll give you some instructions what to do-- This rude Man has undone us. [Exit. _Will._ _Belvile!_ Enter _Pedro_, _Stephano_, and other Servants with Lights. _Ped._ I'm betray'd; run, _Stephano_, and see if _Florinda_ be safe. [Exit _Steph._ So whoe'er they be, all is not well, I'll to _Florinda's_ Chamber. [They fight, and _Pedro's_ Party beats 'em out; going out, meets _Stephano_. _Steph._ You need not, Sir, the poor Lady's fast asleep, and thinks no harm: I wou'd not wake her, Sir, for fear of frightning her with your danger. _Ped._ I'm glad she's there-- Rascals, how came the Garden-Door open? _Steph._ That Question comes too late, Sir: some of my Fellow-Servants Masquerading I'll warrant. _Ped._ Masquerading! a leud Custom to debauch our Youth-- there's something more in this than I imagine. [Exeunt. SCENE IV. _Changes to the Street._ Enter _Belvile_ in Rage, _Fred._ holding him, and _Willmore_ melancholy. _Will._ Why, how the Devil shou'd I know _Florinda_? _Belv._ Ah plague of your ignorance! if it had not been _Florinda_, must you be a Beast?-- a Brute, a senseless Swine? _Will._ Well, Sir, you see I am endu'd with Patience-- I can bear-- tho egad y're very free with me methinks,-- I was in good hopes the Quarrel wou'd have been on my side, for so uncivilly interrupting me. _Belv._ Peace, Brute, whilst thou'rt safe-- oh, I'm distracted. _Will._ Nay, nay, I'm an unlucky Dog, that's certain. _Belv._ Ah curse upon the Star that rul'd my Birth! or whatsoever other Influence that makes me still so wretched. _Will._ Thou break'st my Heart with these Complaints; there is no Star in fault, no Influence but Sack, the cursed Sack I drank. _Fred._ Why, how the Devil came you so drunk? _Will._ Why, how the Devil came you so sober? _Belv._ A curse upon his thin Skull, he was always before-hand that way. _Fred._ Prithee, dear Colonel, forgive him, he's sorry for his fault. _Belv._ He's always so after he has done a mischief-- a plague on all such Brutes. _Will._ By this Light I took her for an errant Harlot. _Belv._ Damn your debaucht Opinion: tell me, Sot, hadst thou so much sense and light about thee to distinguish her to be a Woman, and could'st not see something about her Face and Person, to strike an awful Reverence into thy Soul? _Will._ Faith no, I co
