Anto. What ayls the Fellow? Jasper, don’t you know me?

Jasp. Alas, is’t you, my Lord?

Anto. Ay, where’s the Witch?

Jasp. She got upon a fiery Dragons back, And mounted like a Rocket through the Air, Leaving me half distracted.

Anto. ’Tis strange and wonderful.

    [Enter Captain and Watch.

1.  Watch. Here’s two of them.

Capt. My Lord Antonio!  ’Tis strange to meet you thus In a suspitious House so late in the Evening.

Anto. Riding by the River side to take the Air,
My Horse threw me, which made me see
For some convenient House to rest a while,
And met with this, wherein I have slept this hour,
And I believe had done so longer yet,
Had not your noise awak’d me.

Capt. My Lord, I’ve no Commission to enquire,
Into Persons bus’ness of your eminent Rank;
It is for other Men that I search now,
Some half a score the most notorious Rogues
About the Town were seen to enter here. 
Saw you none such, my Lord?

Anto. No, on my Honour;
For since I enter’d here, no human shape
Was seen by me, but one Old wither’d Woman;
And where she’s gone, I know not.

Capt. My Lord, that Woman is the greatest Cheat
About the Town; the simple think her a Witch;
But I can witness for her she is none;
My Lord, you’l pardon me, if I search for her.

Anto. With all my heart:  Pray find her if you can; ’Twas my misfortune doubled to light here.

Capt. It might have prov’d so: 
Search the House.
    [Exit Watch. 
I’le tell your Lordship what I know of her. 
Walking my Round one Night, who should I meet,
But (as I thought) two Devils, by their shapes;
An Old one, and a Young one, so they seem’d: 
At first the sight amaz’d me, but at last
My Reason telling me, if they were Spirits,
The mischief they intended they might do,
Though I should run away:  I bid my Guard
Stand, whilst my self advanc’d near these shapes,
Which as I did, the little Devil fled, th’ other seem’d
To turn it’s Eyes to fire, and glare upon me;
I still advanc’d, Arm’d with my former thoughts,
And as I nearer came, the fire grew duller,
Yet still it stood, for truly it could not run,
Proving, when I laid hold on’t, this Old Woman,
Cas’d in a Leopard’s skin; the fiery Eyes
Prov’d but two Lobster-shells:  So she confessing,
That for a Living she did use these Cheats,
Helping poor People to their stolen Goods,
In Devils shapes to countenance the Trade. 
And that the other was a little Boy,
Train’d up as her Familiar, whom she producing,
I only threaten’d them, and let them go.

Anto. A subtle Cheat it was, and very likely, And you deserv’d Reward that did detect it.

Jasp. A Halter it should be, were I to give it.
