[_They draw, and fight_.
_Jul_. Help, help! none hear me!
Heaven, I think, is deaf too:
O Roderick! O brother!
_Enter_ GONSALVO, _and_ HIPPOLITO.
_Jul_. Whoe'er you are, if you have honour, part
them! [MANUEL _stumbles, and falls_.
_Gons_. Hold, sir, you are too cruel; he, that kills
At such advantage, fears to fight again.
[_Holds_ RODORICK.
_Man_. Cavalier, I may live to thank you for this
favour. [_Rises_.
_Rod_. I will not quit you so.
_Man_. I'll breathe, and then--
_Jul_. Is there no way to save their lives?
_Hip_. Run out of sight,
If 'tis concerning you they quarrel.
[JULIA _retires to a corner_.
_Hip_. Help, help, as you are cavaliers; the lady.
For whom you thus contend, is seized by some
Night-robbing villains.
_All_. Which way took they?
_Hip_. 'Twas so dark I could not see distinctly.
_Rod_. Let us divide; I this way. [_Exit_.
_Gons_. Down yonder street I'll take.
_Man_. And I down that. [_Exeunt severally_.
_Hip_. Now, madam, may we not lay by our fear?
They are all gone.
_Jul_. Tis true; but we are here,
Exposed to darkness, without guide or aid,
But of ourselves.
_Hip_. And of ourselves afraid.
_Jul_. These dangers, while 'twas light, I could
despise;
Then I was bold, but watched by many eyes:
Ah! could not heaven for lovers find a way,
That prying people still might sleep by day?
_Enter_ ANGELINA.
