Scene 1.
Enter Sir Francis Inconstant, and Mistris Forsaken.
SIr Fran. Incon.
When I forsake you, let Heaven forsake my Soul.
Mistris Forsaken.
I do not doubt you: for if I did, I could not love you; and whilst I love you, I cannot doubt you.
Inconstant.
O how it wounds my heart to part from you! my Thoughts are tortur'd, and my Mind is set upon a me∣lancholy Rack.
Forsaken.
Since your Journey cannot be conveniently avoided, I will please my self with the hopes of your sudden Return.
Inconstant.
Farewel, sweet Mistris, Death is the worst of Nature, and your Absence the worst of Fortune.
Exeunt.
