sicke Who lying on his death-bed cals to him His dear'st thought friend and bids him goe To some rare gifted man that can restore His former health this his friend sadly heares And vowes with protestations to fulfill His wisht desires with his best performance But then no sooner seeing that the death Of his sicke friend would ad to him some gaine Goes not to seeke a remedy to saue But like a wretch hides him to dig his graue As I haue done for vertuous Carracus Yet Albert be not reasonlesse to indanger VVhat thou maist yet secure who can detect The crime of thy licentious appetite There ones pace t is surely Carracus Enter Carracus Ca. Not finde my friend sure some malignant plannet Rules ore this night and enuying the content VVhich I in thought possesse debarres me thus From what is more then happy the loued presence of a deare friend and loue Alb. T is wronged Carracus by Alberts basenesse I haue no power now to reueale my selfe Car. The horses stand at the appointed place And nights darke couerture makes firme our safety My friend is surely falne into a slumber On some bancke hereabouts I will call him Friend Albert Albert Alb What ere you are that call you know my name Ca. I and thy heart deare friend Alb. O Carracus you are a slow pac't louer Your credit had been toucht had I not beene Ca. As how I preethee Albert Alb. Why I excusd you to the faire Maria Who would haue thought you else a slacke performer For comming first vnder her chamber window Shee heard me tread and cald vpon your name To which I answered with a tongue like yours And told her I would goe to seeke for Albert And straight retourne Ca. Whom I haue found thankes to thy faith and heauen But had not shee a light when you came first Alb.

Is your friend Albert with you Alb. Yes and your seruant honored Lady Ma. Hold me from falling Carracus shee descends Ca. I will do now so but not at other times Ma. You are merry sir But what d' ee intend with this your scaling ladder To leaue it thus or put it forth of sight Ca. Faith t s no great matter which Yet we will take it hence that it may breed Many confusd opinions in the house Of your escape here Albert you shall beare it It may bee you may chaunce to practise that way VVhich when you do may your attempts so proue As mine haue done most fortunate in loue Alb May you continew euer so But its time now to make some hast to horse Night soone will vanish O that it had power For euer to exclude day from our eies For my lookes then will shew my villany aside Car. Come faire Maria the troubles of this night Are as forerunners to ensuing pleasures And noble friend although now Carracus Seemes in the gaining of this beautious prise To keepe from you so much of his lou'd treasure Which ought not be mixted yet his heart Shall so farre striue in your wish't happinesse That if the losse and ruine of it selfe can but auaile your good Alb.
