_Beam._ Yes, and then have rolled into the sheets, and turned o' the t'other side to snore, without so much as a parting blow; till about midnight he would have wakened in a maze, and found first he was married by putting forth a foot, and feeling a woman by him; and, it may be, then, instead of kissing, desired yough Fro to hold his head. _Col._ And by that night's work have given her a proof, what she might expect for ever after. _Beam._ In my conscience, you Hollanders never get your children, but in the spirit of brandy; you are exalted then a little above your natural phlegm, and only that, which can make you fight, and destroy men, makes you get them. _Fisc._ You may live to know, that we can kill men when we are sober. _Beam._ Then they must be drunk, and not able to defend themselves. _Jul._ Pray leave this talk, and let us try if we can surprise the lovers under some convenient tree: Shall we separate, and look them? _Beam._ Let you and I go together then, and if we cannot find them, we shall do as good, for we shall find one another. _Fisc._ Pray take that path, or that; I will pursue this. [_Exeunt all but the_ FISCAL. _Fisc._ So, now I have diverted them from Harman, I'll look for him myself, and see how he speeds in his adventure. _Enter_ HARMAN _Junior._ _Har. Jun._ Who goes there? _Fisc._ A friend: I was just in quest of you, so are all the company: Where have you left the bride? _Har. Jun._ Tied to a tree and gagged, and-- _Fisc._ And what? Why do you stare and tremble? Answer me like a man. _Har. Jun._ Oh, I have nothing left of manhood in me! I am turned beast or devil. Have I not horns, and tail, and leathern wings? Methinks I should have by my actions. Oh, I have done a deed so ill, I cannot name it. _Fisc._ Not name it, and yet do it? That's a fool's modesty: Come, I'll name it for you: You have enjoyed your mistress. _Har. Jun._ How easily so great a villany comes from thy mouth! I have done worse, I have ravished her. _Fisc._ That's no harm, so you have killed her afterwards. _Har. Jun._ Killed her! why thou art a worse fiend than I. _Fisc._ Those fits of conscience in another might be excusable; but in you, a Dutchman, who are of a race that are born rebels, and live every where on rapine,--would you degenerate, and have remorse? Pray, what makes any thing a sin but law? and, what law is there here against it? Is not your father chief? Will he condemn you for a petty rape? the woman an Amboyner, and, what's less, now married to an Englishman! Come, if there be a hell, 'tis but for those that sin in Europe, not for us in Asia; heathens have no hell. Tell me, how was't? Pr'ythee, the history. _Har. Jun._ I forced her. What resistance she could make she did, but 'twas in vain; I bound her, as I told you, to a tree. _Fisc._ And she exclaimed, I warrant-- _Har. Jun._ Yes; and called heaven and earth to witness. _Fisc._ Not after it was done?
