[ACTUS QUARTI SCENA SECUNDA.
_A Room in Montsurry's House._]
_Enter D'Ambois and Frier._
_Bussy._ I am suspitious, my most honour'd father,
By some of Monsieurs cunning passages,
That his still ranging and contentious nose-thrils
To scent the haunts of mischiefe have so us'd
The vicious vertue of his busie sence 5
That he trails hotly of him, and will rowze him,
Driving him all enrag'd and foming on us;
And therefore have entreated your deepe skill
In the command of good aeriall spirits,
To assume these magick rites, and call up one, 10
To know if any have reveal'd unto him
Any thing touching my deare love and me.
_Friar._ Good sonne, you have amaz'd me but to make
The least doubt of it, it concernes so neerely
The faith and reverence of my name and order. 15
Yet will I justifie upon my soule
All I have done;
If any spirit i'th[e] earth or aire
Can give you the resolve, doe not despaire.
_Musick: and Tamira enters with Pero, her maid, bearing
a letter._
_Tamyra._ Away, deliver it. _Exit Pero._
O may my lines, 20
Fill'd with the poyson of a womans hate,
When he shall open them, shrink up his curst eyes
With torturous darknesse, such as stands in hell,
Stuck full of inward horrors, never lighted;
With which are all things to be fear'd, affrighted. 25
_Buss._ How is it with my honour'd mistresse?
_Tam._ O, servant, help, and save me from the gripes
Of shame and infamy. Our love is knowne;
Your Monsieur hath a paper where is writ
Some secret tokens that decipher it.
