Coll. And by that Night's Work have given her a Proof what fhe might ex-peft for ever after. Beam. In m y Confcience, you Hollanders never get your Children, but in the Spirit of Brandy; you are exalted then a little above your natural Phlegm, and only that which can make you fight and deftroy Men, makes you get 'em. Fifcal. You may live to know, that we can kill Men when we arefober. Beamont. Then they muft be drunk, and not able to defend themfelves. Julia.

To difpatch her immediately: Cou'd you be fo fenfelefs to ravifh her, and let her live ? What if her Husband fhould have found her? What if any other Englifej? Come, there's no dallying; it muft be done: M y other Plot is ripe, which fhall deftroy 'em all to morrow. Harm. I love her ftill to Madnefs, and never can confent to have her kill'd; we'll thence remove her, if you pleafe, and keep her fafe till your intended Plot fhall take Effeft: And, when her Husband's gone, I'll win her Love by every Circumftance of Kindnefs. Fife. You may do fo; but, t'other is the fafer way : But I'll not ftand with you for one Life.
