_Enter_ CHRISTOPHIL. CHRISTOPHIL. Come, madam Bell'-Imperia, this may[194] not be. [_Exeunt._ _Enter_ LORENZO, BALTHAZAR, _and the_ PAGE. LORENZO Boy, talk no further. Thus far things go well. Thou art assured, that thou saw'st him dead? PAGE. Or else, my lord, I live not. LORENZO That's enough. As for his resolution in his end, Leave that to him with whom he sojourns now. Here, take my ring, and give it Christophil, And bid him let my sister be enlarg'd, And bring her hither straight.-- [_Exit_ PAGE.[195] This that I did was for a policy, To smooth and keep the murder secret, Which, as a nine-days' wonder, being o'erblown, My gentle sister will I now enlarge. BALTHAZAR. And time, Lorenzo; for my lord the duke, You heard, inquired for her yester-night. LORENZO. Why, and my lord, I hope, you heard me say, Sufficient reason why she kept away: But that's all one. My lord, you love her? BALTHAZAR. Ay. LORENZO. Then in your love beware; deal cunningly: Salve all suspicions, only soothe me up; And if she hap to stand on terms with us, As for her sweetheart, and concealment so, Jest with her gently: under feigned jest Are things conceal'd that else would breed unrest[196]-- But here she comes. _Enter_ BELL'-IMPERIA. LORENZO. Now, sister? BELL'-IMPERIA. Sister! no, thou art no brother, but an enemy; Else wouldst thou not have us'd thy sister so: First, to affright me with thy weapon[197] drawn, And with extremes abuse my company; And then to hurry me, like whirlwind's rage, Amidst a crew of thy confederates, And clap me up, where none might come at me, Nor I at any, to reveal my wrongs. What madding fury did possess thy wits?[198] Or wherein is't that I offended thee? LORENZO. Advise you better, Bell'-Imperia, For I have done you no disparagement; Unless, by more discretion than deserv'd, I sought to save your honour and mine own. BELL'-IMPERIA. Mine honour? why, Lorenzo, wherein is't That I neglect my reputation so, As you or any need to rescue it? LORENZO. His highness and my father were resolved To come confer with old Hieronimo, Concerning certain matters of estate, That by the viceroy was determined. BELL'-IMPERIA.
