Servants within,_ "Follow, follow;
yonder are the villains."
O, here's a gate open; but it leads into the castle; yet I must
venture it. [_A shout behind the Scenes, where_
ANTONIO _is going out._
There's the rabble in a mutiny; what, is the devil up at midnight!
However, 'tis good herding in a crowd.
[_Runs out._ MUFTI _runs to_ MORAYMA,
_and lays hold on her, then snatches
away the Casket._

_Muf._ Now, to do things in order, first I seize upon the bag, and
then upon the baggage; for thou art but my flesh and blood, but these
are my life and soul.

_Mor._ Then let me follow my flesh and blood, and keep to yourself
your life and soul.

_Muf._ Both, or none; come away to durance.

_Mor._ Well, if it must be so, agreed; for I have another trick to
play you, and thank yourself for what shall follow.

_Enter Servants._

_Joh._ [_From above._] One of them took through the private way into
the castle; follow him, be sure, for these are yours already.

_Mor._ Help here quickly, Omar, Abedin! I have hold on the villain
that stole my jewels; but 'tis a lusty rogue, and he will prove too
strong for me. What! help, I say; do you not know your master's
daughter?

_Muf._ Now, if I cry out, they will know my voice, and then I am
disgraced for ever. O thou art a venomous cockatrice!

_Mor._ Of your own begetting. [_The Servants seize him._

_1 Serv._ What a glorious deliverance have you had, madam, from this
bloody-minded Christian!

_Mor._ Give me back my jewels, and carry this notorious malefactor to
be punished by my father.--I'll hunt the other dry-foot.
[_Takes the jewels, and runs out after_
ANTONIO _at the same passage._

_1 Serv._ I long to be hanselling his hide, before we bring him to my
master.

_2 Serv._ Hang him, for an old covetous hypocrite; he deserves a worse
punishment himself, for keeping us so hardly.

_1 Serv._ Ay, would he were in this villain's place! thus I would lay
him on, and thus. [_Beats him._

_2 Serv._ And thus would I revenge myself of my last beating.
[_He beats him too, and then the rest._

_Muf._ Oh, ho, ho!

_1 Serv._
