ACT IV.
SCENE I. _The moated grange at ST LUKE'S._
_Enter MARIANA and a BOY._
_BOY sings._
Take, O, take those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn:
But my kisses bring again, bring again; 5
Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain.
_Mari._ Break off thy song, and haste thee quick away:
Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice
Hath often still'd my brawling discontent. [_Exit Boy._
_Enter DUKE disguised as before._
I cry you mercy, sir; and well could wish 10
You had not found me here so musical:
Let me excuse me, and believe me so,
My mirth it much displeased, but pleased my woe.
_Duke._ 'Tis good; though music oft hath such a charm
To make bad good, and good provoke to harm. 15
I pray you, tell me, hath any body inquired for me here to-day?
much upon this time have I promised here to meet.
_Mari._ You have not been inquired after: I have sat
here all day.
_Enter ISABELLA._
_Duke._ I do constantly believe you. The time is come 20
even now. I shall crave your forbearance a little: may be
I will call upon you anon, for some advantage to yourself.
_Mari._ I am always bound to you. [_Exit._
