Arn. What shall I do to save her?

Hip. How now, what hast there?

Enter a Servant.

Ser. The Governour, attended with some Gentlemen, Are newly entred, to speak with your Ladiship.

Hip. Pox o’ their business, reprieve her for this hour, I shall have other time.

Arn. Now fortune help us.

Hip. I’le meet ’em presently:  retire awhile all. [Exeunt.

Zab. You rise to day upon your right side Lady;
You know the danger too, and may prevent it,
And if you suffer her to perish thus,
As she must do, and suddenly, believe it,
Unless you stand her friend; you know the way on’t,
I guess you poorly love her, less your fortune. 
Let her know nothing, and perform this matter,
There are hours ordained for several businesses,
You understand.

Arn. I understand you Bawd Sir, And such a Counsellour I never car’d for.

Enter the Governour, Clodio, Leopold, Charino and Attendants at one door, Hippolyta at the other.

Hip. Your Lordship does me honour.

Gover. Fair Hippolyta, I am come to ease you of a charge.

Hip. I keep none I count a burthen Sir:  and yet I lye too.

Gover. Which is the Maid; is she here?

Clod. Yes Sir,
This is she, this is Zenocia,
The very same I sued to your Lordship for.

Zen. Clodio again? more misery? more ruin?  Under what angry star is my life govern’d?

Gov. Come hither Maid, you are once more a free woman, Here I discharge your bonds.

Arn. Another smile, Another trick of fortune to betray us!

Hip. Why does your Lordship use me so unnobly?  Against my will to take away my bond-woman?

Gov. She was no lawful prize, therefore no bond-woman: 
She’s of that Country we hold friendship with,
And ever did, and therefore to be used
With entertainment, fair and courteous. 
The breach of League in us gives foul example,
Therefore you must be pleas’d to think this honest;
Did you know what she was?

Leop. Not till this instant; For had I known her, she had been no prisoner.

Gov. There, take the Maid, she is at her own dispose now, And if there be ought else to do your honour Any poor service in—­

Clod. I am vowed your servant.

Arn. Your Father’s here too, that’s our only comfort, And in a Country now, we stand free people, Where Clodio has no power, be comforted.

Zen. I fear some trick yet.

Arn. Be not so dejected.

Gover. You must not be displeas’d; so farewel Lady.  Come Gentlemen; Captain, you must with me too, I have a little business.
