Chapter 8

LIVIA, JUSTINA, and LYSANDER.

Enter LIVIA.

LIVIA. Sir, The same tradesman who so presses To be paid, comes here to seek you, By the magistrate attended. That you were not in, I told him: By that door you have an exit.

JUSTINA. This untimely interruption By their coming, how it frets me! For upon your tragic story Life, soul, reason, all depended!-- But retire, sir, lest the justice Should here meet you, if he enters.

LYSANDER. Ah! with what indignities Poverty must be contented! [Exit.

JUSTINA. They are coming here, no doubt, Outside I can hear some persons.

LIVIA. No, they are not they. I see It is Cyprian.

JUSTINA. How? what sendeth Cyprian here?
