_Lov_. Why should you be thus importunate?
_Const_. Because I cannot think you love me, if you will not
trust that to my knowledge, which you conceal from all the world
beside.
_Lov_. You urge me deeply--
_Const_. Come, sweet servant, you shall tell me; I am resolved to
take no denial. Why do you sigh?
_Lov_. If I be blasted, it must out.
_Const_. Either tell me, or resolve to take your leave for ever.
_Lov_. Then know, I have my means,--I know not how.
_Const_. This is a fine secret.
_Lov_. Why, then, if you will needs know, 'tis from the devil; I
have money from him, what, and when I please.
_Const_. Have you sealed a covenant, and given away your soul for
money?
_Lov_. No such thing intended on my part.
_Const_. How then?
_Lov_. I know not yet what conditions he'll propose. I should
have spoke with him last night, but that a cross chance hindered it.
_Const_. Well, my opinion is, some great lady, that is in love
with you, supplies you still; and you tell me an incredible tale of
the devil, merely to shadow your infidelity.
_Lov_. Devise some means to try me.
_Const_. I take you at your word. You shall swear freely to
bestow on me whatever you shall gain this unknown way; and, for a
proof, because you tell me you can have money, what, and when you
please, bring me a hundred pounds ere night.
