Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885

"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"


The night growes late, and we will have this course
Be watch'd all night; to morrow we shall see
Whence sprang this strange uncivill crueltie.
_Nei_. Neighbour good night.
_Lon_. Neighbors all good night.
_Ma_. Praie God I never see so sad a sight.
[_Exeunt omnes_.
_Enter Merry knocking at the doore, and Rachell comes downe_.
_Mer_. Oh sister, sister, now I am pursu'd!
The mightie clamour that the boy did make,
Hath raisde the neighbours round about the street:
So that I know not where to hide my selfe.
_Ra_. What, brother! have you kild _Beeches_ boy?
_Mer_. No, no, not I, but yet another hath.
Come, come to bed, for feare we be descri'd:
The fearfullest night that ever _Merry_ knew!
[_Exeunt_.

[SCENE II.]

_Enter Falleria and two Ruffaines_.
_Fall_. Seeme it not strange, resolved gentlemen,[14]
That I thus privatelie have severed you,
To open secret furrowes of my hart.
Think not I do intend to undermine,
Your passed lives, although you know I am
A man to whom the true unpartiall sworde,
Of equall justice is delivered.
