_Laz._ Now am I so truly happy, so much above all fate and fortune, that I should despise that man, durst say, remember _Lazarello_, thou art mortal. _Enter Intelligencers with a Guard._ _2 Int._ This is the villain, lay [hands] on him. _Laz._ Gentlemen, why am I thus intreated? what is the nature of my crime? _2 Int._ Sir, though you have carried it a great while privately, and (as you think) well; yet we have seen you Sir, and we do know thee _Lazarello_, for a Traitor. _Laz._ The gods defend our Duke. _2 Int._ Amen, Sir, Sir, this cannot save that stiff neck from the halter. _Jul._ Gentlemen, I am glad you have discover'd him, he should not have eaten under my roof for twenty pounds; and surely I did not like him, when he call'd for Fish. _Laz._ My friends, will ye let me have that little favour-- _1 Int._ Sir, ye shall have Law, and nothing else. _Laz._ To let me stay the eating of a bit or two, for I protest I am yet fasting. _Jul._ I'll have no Traitor come within my house. _Laz._ Now could I wish my self I had been a Traitor, I have strength enough for to endure it, had I but patience: Man thou art but grass, thou art a bubble, and thou must perish. Then lead along, I am prepar'd for all: Since I have lost my hopes, welcome my fall. _2 Int._ Away Sir. _Laz._ As thou hast hope of man, stay but this dish this two hours, I doubt not but I shall be discharged: by this light I will marry thee. _Jul._ You shall marry me first then. _Laz._ I do contract my self unto thee now, before these Gentlemen. _Jul._ I'll preserve it till you be hang'd or quitted. _Laz._ Thanks, thanks. _2 Int._ Away, away, you shall thank her at the gallows. _Laz._ Adieu, adieu. [_Exeunt_ Laz. _2 Int. and Guard._ _Jul._ If he live I'll have him, if he be hang'd, there's no loss in it. [_Exit._ _Enter_ Oriana _and her waiting woman, looking out at a window_. _Orian._ Hast thou provided one to bear my Letter to my brother? _Wait._ I have enquir'd, but they of the house will suffer no Letter nor message to be carried from you, but such as the Lord _Gondarino_ shall be acquainted with: truly Madam I suspect the house to be no better than it should be. _Ori._ What dost thou doubt? _Wait._ Faith I am loth to tell it, Madam. _Ori._ Out with it, 'tis not true modesty to fear to speak that thou dost think. _Wait._ I think it [be] one of these [same] Bawdy houses.
