Nurse. A Villain, say you? 
No Villain neither, I wou’d have you know;
No more then is Francisco:  pick that bone,
Or if you will, I’le bid Gerardo do it. 
Dee’ think to rail at me?  Is that my thanks?

Eug. My feares I see will force me to dissemble;
Nurse, I but try’d thy patience; I believe
Thou would’st not tell that secret for the world,
No, tho’ it were to Jasper.

Nurse. Jasper’s an honest fellow, and no Villain; And did he know a secret, he could keep it.

Eug. But have you told it then?

Nurse. No matter what I’ve done, I will not tell you, Because you vext and rated at me so.

Eug. Well, Nurse, I did believe you lov’d me better.
    [Weeps. 
And wou’d trust me with any thing you did,
But I perceive your kindness all for Jasper.

Nurse. I love Jasper well, and love you too, And you shall have no wrong I warrant you.

Eug. The thing is plain, I need not ask no further.  But where’s the remedy?  Nurse, prethee tell me, What did Francisco say unto my message?

Nurse. I, there’s a bus’ness now worth asking for.  He sayes, he’s glad you’l condescend to meet; Nay, he’s a glad man, I’le tell you that, i’ faith, He bid me say, you were a gallant Girle, So to Revenge his quarrel on Gerardo.

Eug. Gerardo, said you!  O thy mouth’s a Sieve! 
There’s not a secret thou canst keep a moment;
Did I not charge thee not to name Gerardo,
Till I should speak of it myself to him? 
Nay, ’tis the greatest motive makes me meet him,
For to prevent the mischiefs else may follow;
Well, I am curst for sin, and thou art made
The cause o’ th’ sin, and curse that does attend it.

Nur. What, are you got to railing again for nothing? 
Pray who has most discretion to tell a bus’ness,
You, or I?  But you, forsooth, are grown so proud of late
Because you hope to Marry Don Gerardo;
That there’s no speaking to you:  Marry gip. 
’Faith I shall spoil your Market.
    [Exit.

Eug. Do thy worst
(for I am resolv’d to suffer once for all)
Death would be better then this Slavery,
And that’s the worst can happen
Should she tell my Brother, or Gerardo, my whole story;
That’s dying once, but I by fear thus fool’d,
Do hourly dye, since still I Death behold.
    [Exit.

  Enter Jasper_ and Antonio._

Jasp. My Lord, I’m confident this is the House, Wherein the Woman Lives I told you of.

Anto. Knock then; and if she comes, do you speak to her, I’le stand aloof a while, and hear you talk.

    [Jasper knocks.

  Enter Witch with a block Rod, which she turns over her Head, whilst
  Jasper_ makes a private sign of his Lord’s being there._
