Scene 28.
Enter Monsieur Frere, and Madam Soeur.
MAdam Soeur.

Do not pursue such horrid Acts, as to Whore your Si∣ster, Cuckold your Brother-in-Law, dishonour your Father, and brand your life and memory with black infamy. Good Brother consider what a world of misery you strive to bring upon your self and me.

Frere.

Dear Sister pity me, and let a Brothers pleading move your heart, and bury not my youth in Death before the natural time.

Soeur.

'Tis better you should die, and in the grave be laid, than live to damn your soul.

Frere.

To kill my self will be as bad a crime.

Soeur.

O no: for Death any way is more honourable than such a life as you would live.

Exeunt.
