e. _Flor._ I am no Devil, Nurse, look upon me, I'm _Flora_. _Nurse._ Ay, where's the Spirit then I saw just now? _Flor._ There was no worser Spirit then my self. _Nurse._ No; pray Minx, what makes you follow me? I'le set you back again i'th' Devils Name, Come you to spy my Actions. _Flor._ No, Nurse, my Lady sent me, don't be angry, She was afraid that you were running mad. _Nurse._ I, mad, it may be so; now I am Old I must be mad, forsooth; but time has been, There's ne're a Servant durst have laught at me, Nor I'le not take it now, no that I won't, I'le tear your Eyes out first. [ _She runs after _Flora_, who still is too quick for her._ _Flor._ Nay, softly, Nurse; so, so; ay, there! _Nurse._ Where where? I see it now, It's strangely pale! O, do not fright me so; it's gone again. And now I shall have time to follow you; Nay, now I'le tear thy Eyes out. [ _As _Flora_ runs away, she falls, Nurse gets upon her._ _Flor._ Oh, Nurse, Nurse! have mercy on me, Do not scratch me so. _Nurse._ I'le be thy Death, there's nothing shall preserve you. Ah ---- are you there again! The Devil, the Devil. [Exit. _Flor._ 'Twas well for me her madness work't again, And made her take a whim to run away, She would have kill'd me else, do what I could; I'le stay no longer, lest she come again. I'd not be in her fingers as I was For all I'm worth. [Exit. _Enter Captain, Watch, and Servant._ _Capt._ When I consider every Circumstance Of what you tell, and what I know my self, I must conclude, I ought not to defer To search _Antonio_'s House: if he's from home, As you pretend he is; It makes me think There is some strange Intrigue design'd by him. For why should he turn back, as you relate, And then obscure himself in such a House? Besides, he told me, he was strait for Home, And yet it seems was not, as you say. _Serv._ It's truth, upon my Life, he was not there At past the hour of Nine. _Watch._ Who comes there! [Enter the little Devil, and runs and skulkes. Captain, the Devil, the Devil! See where he stands? _Capt._ O' my Conscience! The Witches little Familiar again! If you're afraid, let me come, I'm us'd to These sort of Devils! Come, come, uncase, [It sputters like a Cat, Captain to him. Uncase, young Gamester, what slippery pranck Are you about now? Don't you remember your Last escape, Sirrah? _Devil._ Pray Master don't whip me, I'le tell all.
