SCENE 1.
_Enter Magdalen, Timothy and Alexander_.
_Ma_. Run, good sweet _Timothy_; search the barnes, the stab[les], while
I looke in the Chambers. Should she be lost or come to any harme my lady
will hang us all. Why dost not fly?
_Tim_. Hey day, if her feet walke as fast as thy tongue, sh[e's] far
enough ere this time. What a stir you make! Were you, as shee is, with
your sweet heart, you would [be] pursud, would you? You would be hangd
as soone. Al[as], good gentlewoman, heaven speed her!
_Ma_. You will not goe then?
_Tim_. No, indeed, will I not.
Her mother may be angry if she please.
The time has bin she would as willingly
Bin at the sport her selfe as now her daughter.

And see theres no harme d[one], I warrant you.

By my dimensions, and men sooner fancy
The Substance then the Shaddow. Oh, but shee
Is the true image not of what I am
But what I was, when like the spring I wore
My virgin roses on my cheeks.
_Lov_. Madam, you seeme--
_Lady_. Angry at your impertinency; learne manners, leave me.
_Lov_. She has coniurd downe my spirit: these are immodest devills that

[_Exit Alexander_.
