by Abraham Cowley

Scene 6.

Enter Truman junior.
And presently Aurelia, Cutter, and Worm appear at a little Window.

Trum.Why should her cruel Uncle seek t' opposeA Love in all respects so good and equal?He has some wicked end in't, and deservesTo be deceiv'd!

Cut.Deceiv'd? pray mark that Madam.

Trum.She is gone in to see if things be ripe yetTo make our last attempt upon her Uncle;If our Plot fail———

Aur.A Plot 'ifaith, and I shall Counter-plot ye.

Trum.In spight of our worst Enemies, our kindred,And a rash Oath that's cancell'd in the making,We will pursue our Loves to the last point,And buy that Paradise though 't be with Martyrdom!
