_Hip_. Why does he fear my lord should love a woman? The passion of this boy is so like mine, That it amazes me. [_Aside_. _Enter a Servant_. _Serv_. Young gentleman, Your master calls for you. _Hip_. I'll think upon't-- [_Exuent_ HIPPOLITO _and Serv_ _Enter_ JULIA _to_ AMIDEO. _Jul_. Now is the time, he is alone. _Amid_. Here comes The saint, my lord adores; love, pardon me The fault, I must commit. _Jul_. Fair youth, I am A suitor to you. _Amid_. So am I to you. _Jul_. You see me here a prisoner. _Amid_. My request Is, I may set you free; make haste, sweet madam; Which way would you go? _Jul_. To the next Religious house. _Amid_. Here through the garden, madam; How I commend your holy resolution! [_Exeunt_. _Enter_ DON MANUEL _in the street, and a Servant with him_. _Man_. Angelina fled to a monastery, say you? _Serv_. So 'tis given out: I could not see her woman: But, for your sister, what you heard is true; I saw her at the inn: They told me, she was brought in late last night; By a young cavalier, they showed me there. _Man_. This must be he that rescued me: What would I give to see him! _Serv_. Fortune is Obedient to your wishes; he was coming To find out you; I waited on him to The turning of the street, and stepped before To tell you of it. _Man_. You o'erjoy me. _Serv_.

I come to see if any manly virtue Can dwell with falsehood: Draw, thou'st injured me. _Man_. You say already I have done you wrong, And yet would have me right you by a greater. _Gons_. Poor abject thing! _Man_. Who doubts another's courage Wants it himself; but I, who know my own, Will not receive a law from you to fight, Or to forbear: for then I grant your courage To master mine, when I am forced to do What of myself I would not. _Gons_. Your reason? _Man_. You saved my life. _Gons_. I'll quit that debt, to be In a capacity of forcing you To keep your promise with me; for I come To learn, your sister is not yet disposed. _Man_. I've lost all privilege to defend my life; And, if you take it now, 'tis no new conquest; Like fish, first taken in a river, then Bestowed in ponds to catch a second time. _Gons_. Mark but how partially you plead your cause, Pretending breach of honour if you fight, Yet think it none to violate your word. _Man_. I cannot give my sister to a robber. _Gons_. You shall not; I am none, but born of blood As noble as yourself; my fortunes equal At least with yours, my reputation yet, I think, unstained. _Man_. I wish, sir, it may prove so; I never had so strong an inclination To believe any man as you--But yet--
