Rogues! my money-Trunks! L. _Blun._ My Son, good _Roger_! my own Sir _Moggy_! Sir _Row._ The ten thousand Pounds, ye Rascal, in the Iron Trunk, that was to be paid Mr. _Welborn_ for _Olivia's_ Portion. [Exit. L. _Blun._ Oh my Son! my Son!--run to the Parson, _Sam_, and let him send the Church-Buckets. Oh, some help! some help! Enter _Manage_. _Man._ Oh, Heavens! my Lady _Mirtilla's_ Chamber's all on Flame. Enter _Britton_. _Geo._ Ha,--the Prince! I had forgot his Danger. _Man._ Ah! look up, and see how it burns. _Geo._ _Britton_, a Million for a Ladder! _Man._ Blessing on you, Sir, if you dare venture through the House; there lies one in the Fore-Garden. _Britt._ The Passage is on fire, Sir, you cannot go. _Geo._ Revenge is vanish'd, and Love takes its place: Soft Love, and mightier Friendship seizes all. I'll save him, though I perish in the Attempt. [Runs out, _Britton_ after him. Enter at another Door, Sir _Rowland_. L. _Blun._ A thousand Pound for him that saves Sir _Morgan_! Sir _Row._ And, do ye hear, let my Rogue lie; I'd rather he should be burnt, than hang'd on _Tyburn_ Road, for murdering his Father.--But where's Boy _George_? Enter Men with Trunks. _Rog._ Safe, Sir, I hope; he was not in the House. Sir _Row._ So, so, away with these Trunks to my Lady _Youthly's_ in _Southampton_-Square, and tell her we must trouble her to night. Come, Sister, let's away. [Ex. Lady _Blunder_, and Sir _Rowland_. Prince _Frederick_ and _Mirtilla_, appear at the Window, the Flame behind 'em. _Prince._ Help, help, and save _Mirtilla_! Ask any Price, my Life, my Fortune! All! _Mir._ Oh, Heav'ns, the Flame pursues us as we fly. _Prince._ No help! Oh Gods, I shall prevent the Flame, and perish by my Fears to see you die! _Mir._ Alas! Sir, you with ease may save your Life! This Window you may leap, but I want Courage. _Prince._ No, my _Mirtilla_, if it be thy Fate, I'll grasp thee, ev'n in Flames, and die with thee. _Mir._ We die! we die! the Flame takes hold of us. Enter _George_ with a Ladder, and puts it to the Window. _Prince._ Ha! some pitying God takes care of us. Haste, haste, my Charmer; Heav'n has sent us Aid. [Puts her on the Ladder, she descends into _George's_ Arms; after her, the _Prince_. _George_ puts her into _Manage's_ Arms, she faints; he runs up to receive the _Prince_. _Prince._ _Lejere!_ dea
