_Bel._ I have been making there my magical operations, to know the event of your daughters' flight; and, to perform it rightly, have been forced to call up spirits of several orders: And there they are humming like a swarm of bees, some stalking about upon the ground, some flying, and some sticking upon the walls like rear-mice. _Mask._ The devil's in him, he's got off again. _Alon._ Now, sir, I shall try the truth of your friendship to me. To confess the secret of my soul to you, I have all my life been curious to see a devil; and to that purpose have conned Agrippa through and through, and made experiment of all his rules, _Pari die et incremento Lunæ_, and yet could never compass the sight of one of these _dæmoniums_: If you will ever oblige me, let it be on this occasion. _Mask._ There's another storm arising. _Bel._ You shall pardon me, sir; I'll not expose you to that peril for the world, without due preparations of ceremony. _Alon._ For that, sir, I always carry a talisman about me, that will secure me: And therefore I will venture in, a God's name, and defy them all at once. [_Going in._ _Mask._ How the pox will he get off from this? _Bel._ Well, sir, since you are so resolved, send off your servant, that there may be no noise made on't, and we'll take our venture. _Alon._ Pedro, leave your light, and help the fellows to search the garden. [_Exit Servant._ _Mask._ What does my incomprehensible master mean? _Bel._ Now, I must tell you, sir, you will see that, which will very much astonish you, if my art fail me not. [_Goes to the door_.] You spirits and intelligences, that are within there, stand close, and silent, at your peril, and fear nothing, but appear in your own shapes, boldly.--Maskall, open the door. [MASKALL _goes to one side of the scene, which draws, and discovers_ THEO. JAC. AUR. BEAT. CAM. LOP. WILD., _standing all without motion in a rank_. Now, sir, what think you? _Alon._ They are here, they are here: We need search no farther. Ah you ungracious baggages! [_Going toward them._ _Bel._ Stay, or you'll be torn in pieces: These are the very shapes I conjured up, and truly represent to you in what company your niece and daughters are, this very moment. _Alon._ Why, are they not they? I durst have sworn that some of them had been my own flesh and blood.--Look; one of them is just like that rogue, your comrade. [WILD. _shakes his head, and frowns at him._ _Bel._ Do you see how you have provoked that English devil? Take heed of him; if he gets you once into his clutches-- [WILD. _embracing_ JAC. _Alon._ He seems to have got possession of the spirit of my Jacintha, by his hugging her.
