SCENE II.

Chapter 3218 wordsPublic domain

_Enter_ Juletta.

_Jul._ He's gone in here: This is _Roderigo's_ quarter, And I'le be with him soon: I'le startle him, A little better than I have done: all this long night I have le[d] him out o'th' way, to try his patience, And made him swear, and curse; and pray, and swear again, And cry for anger; I made him leave his horse too, Where he can never find him more; whistled to him, And then he would run through thick and thin, to reach me, And down in this ditch; up again, and shake him, And swear some certain blessings: then into that bush Pop goes his pate, and all his face is comb'd over, And I sit laughing: a hundred tricks, I have serv'd him: And I will double 'em, before I leave him; I'le teach his anger to dispute with women. But all this time, I cannot meet my Mistress, I cannot come to comfort her; that grieves me, For sure she is much afflicted: till I do, I'le haunt thy Ghost _Alphonso_; I'le keep thee waking, Yes, I must get a Drum: I am villanous weary, And yet I'le trot about these villages Till I have got my will, and then have at ye. I'le make your anger drop out at your elbows e're I leave ye. [_Exit._
