eare all over my flesh, she will stay so long, and then--- _Ri. coughs_.--Uh, uh! _Do_. Oh, oh!--Ile shift places to shew more distraction; at the worst my noise shall be within his reach; it may give her notice to returne too. [_Exit_. [SCENE 6.] _Sir Francis a sleepe; a table, inke, and paper. Enter Lady_. _La_. I am full of feares, and my owne motion frights me; This furious love is a strange pilot. Sir, Where are you? ha! asleepe! can any dulnes That is not Death possess a gentleman, So valiant in desires, when he expects To meete his Mistresse? How I blush to raise him! Was I not worth thy waking expectation? Farewell; yet something that [like?] a charme that's fastned To my poore hart restraines me. Inke and paper!

Ha! what's here? This Character, was not visible before. _That man's too much compos'd of phleame Will loose his Mistress for a Dreame_. [_Reades_. Tis her's, I know't; she has been here, oh fatall! And finding me asleepe scorn'd to uncharme My dull and cursed silence.
