-- where, oh what shall I do?-- my Clothes, my Sword and Money. _Aur._ Quickly, _Sancho_, tie a Sheet to the Window, and let him slide down by that-- Be speedy, and we'll throw your Clothes out after ye. Here, follow me to the Window. _Feth._ Oh, any whither, any whither. That I could not be warn'd from whoring in a strange Country, by my Friend _Ned Blunt's_ Example-- if I can but keep it secret now, I care not. [Exeunt. Scene, the Street, a Sheet tyd to the Balcony, and _Feth._ sitting cross to slide down. _Feth._ So-- now your Neck, or your Throat, chuse ye either, wise Mr. _Nicholas Fetherfool_-- But stay, I hear Company. Now dare not I budg an Inch. Enter _Beaumond_ alone. _Beau._ Where can this Rascal, my Page, be all this while? I waited in the Piazza so long, that I believed he had mistook my Order, and gone directly to _La Nuche's_ House-- but here's no sign of him-- _Feth._ Hah-- I hear no noise, I'll venture down.

[_Abev._ sings, _Beau._ listens, and seems angry the while.
