Leave faithfull love to teach them how to dye,
That they may share their kinsfolkes miserie.
[_Exeunt_.


[ACT THE FOURTH.]
[SCENE I.]

_Enter Merrie and Rachell uncovering the head and legges_.
_Mer_. I have bestow'd a watrie funerall
On the halfe bodie of my butchered friend.
The head and legges Ile leave in some darke place;
I care not if they finde them yea or no.
_Ra_. Where do you meane to leave the head and legs?
_Mer_. In some darke place nere to _Bainardes Castle_.[31]
_Ra_. But doe it closelie that you be not seene;
For all this while you are without suspect.
_Mer_. Take you no thought, Ile have a care of that;
Onelie take heede you have a speciall care
To make no shew of any discontent
Nor use too many words to any one.
[_Puts on his Cloake; taketh up the bag_.
I will returne when I have left my loade.
Be merrie, _Rachell_; halfe the feare is past. [_Exit_.
_Ra_. But I shall never thinke my selfe secure.
This deede would trouble any quiet soule,
To thinke thereof, much more to see it done;
Such cruell deedes can never long be hid,
Although we practice nere so cunningly.
