ous Quarrel without you, than with you. _Ant._ Sure 'tis some Rival-- hah-- the very Man took down her Picture yesterday-- the very same that set on me last night-- Blest opportunity-- [Offers to shoot him. _Ang._ Hold, you're mistaken, Sir. _Ant._ By Heaven the very same! --Sir, what pretensions have you to this Lady? _Will._ Sir, I don't use to be examin'd, and am ill at all Disputes but this-- [Draws, _Anton._ offers to shoot. _Ang._ Oh, hold! you see he's arm'd with certain Death: [To _Will._ --And you, _Antonio_, I command you hold, By all the Passion you've so lately vow'd me.
