I could find Reasons too for Matrimony A Stale Maid is a horrible reproach I must confess it and a Waiting-woman Does onely change a Mistris for a Master I may quit her 't is true but not my Husband And on the other side she may quit me And turn me off when old and good for nothing A Husband 's bound to keep me still In fine For ought I can perceive the Scales are Equal I may throw Cross and Pile which Life I 'd have The Single Begger or the Marri'd Slave But heark the Door within from whence we came Is newly open'd or my Ears deceive me Die Methoughts I heard it too let us peep in They look into the next Room and start back O Sir Runs to Octavio w' are lost I see two Female-Giants Coming most terribly upon us Oct. Away you troublesome Fool. Enter Camilla and Porcia the one with a Key the other with a Candle Por. I 'm confident no body saw us pass From th' other House Cam. However let 's go through my Brother's Quarter And open the Back-door into the Street 'T is good in all Events t' have a Retreat More ways than one Por. O Heavens A door claps behind and both look back our surest is cut-off the Wind Has clapt that door to thorough which we came Cam. The Accident 's unlucky 't is a Spring-lock That opens onely on the other side Por.

Antonio false it is impossible Die It is too evident Oct. Peace Slave he is my Friend of Noble Blood Whose Fame 's above the Level of those Tongues That Bark by Custom at the brightest Virtues As Dogs do at the Moon Por. How hard it is for Virtue to suspect Ah Octavio we have been both deceiv'd This vile Antonio is the very Man To whom my Brother without my Consent Or Knowledge has Contracted me in Flanders Oct. Antonio the Man to whom y' are Contracted Porcia the Bride whom he is come to Marry Por. The very same Oct. Why did you not acquaint me with it sooner Por. Alas I have not seen you since I knew it But those Few hours such Wonders have produc'd As surpass all Belief and do require More time than your unsafe Condition here Will allow us to make you understand it Cam. Dear Friends I cannot blame your Apprehensions Nor your Suspition of Antonio's Friendship But I am so possess'd with the Opinion Of his great Virtue that I shall as soon Believe Impossibilities as his Apostacie from Honour Oct. What 's her Concernment in Antonio Porcia Por. O that 's the strangest part of our sad Story And which requires most time to tell you A Blaze of Light appears at the Window and a noise within Por. See Flora at the Window what 's that Light And Noise we hear Flora goes to the Window Flo. O Madam we are all undone I see Henrique Carlos and their Servants with Torches All coming hither and which is wonderful Antonio leading them with his Sword drawn Cam. Thou dream'st distracted Wench Antonio false It is impossible Camilla runs to the Window and turning back says All she has said is in appearance true There 's sure some hidden Mystery which thus Abuses us for I shall ne'r believe Antonio can transgress the Rules of Friendship Oct. Friendship 's an Empty Name made to Deceive Those whose Good Nature tempts them to believe There 's no such thing on Earth the best that we Can hope for here is faint Neutrality Por. Ye Powers above what pleasure can ye take To Persecute Submitting Innocence Oct. Retire dear Porcia to that inner Room For should thy cruel Brother find thee here He 's so revolted from Humanity He 'l mingle thine with my Impurer Blood Por. That were a kind of Contract let him come We 'l meet at once Marriage and Martyrdom Oct. Soul of my Life retire Por. I will not leave you Oct. Thou preserv'st me by saving of thy self For they can murder onely half of me Whilst that my better part survives in thee Por.

Oct. I 'm now upon the Frontiers of this Life There 's but one step to Immortality And though my cruel fortune has allow'd me No other Witness of my Tragick end But my Inhumane Murtherers yet my Death Shall not Disgrace either my Life or Love To th' other World this Honor I will bear That as I still have Liv'd and Lov'd so I Encounter Death with the same Constancy Enter Antonio Henrique Carlos and Geraldo with their Swords drawn Antonio before the rest Ant.
