Scaena Tertia.
Enter Michael and Valentine.
Mich.
GOod sir go back again, and take my counsell,
Sores are not cur'd by sorrows, nor time broke from us,
Pul'd back again by sighes.
Val.
What should I doe friend?
Mich.
Doe that that may redeeme ye, goe back quickly,
Sebastians daughter can prevaile much with her,
The Abbesse is her Aunt too.
Val.
But my friend then
Whose love and losse is equall ty'd.
Mich.
Content ye,
That shall be my taske if he be alive,
Or where my travell and my care may reach him,
I'le bring him backe againe.
Ʋal.
Say he come backe
To piece his poor friends life out? and my mistresse
Be vow'd for ever a recluse?
Mich.
So suddenly
She cannot, haste ye therefore instantly away sir,
To put that daughter by first as to a father,
Then as a friend she was committed to ye,
And all the care she now has: by which priviledge
She cannot doe her this violence,
But you may breake it, and the law allowes ye.
Val.
O but I forc'd her to it.
Mich.
Leave disputing
Against your selfe, if you will needs be miserable
Spight of her goodnesse, and your friends perswasions,
Thinke on, and thrive thereafter.
