[Exeunt. Enter Florinda from the farther end of the Scene, looking
behind her. Flor. I am follow'd still- hah- my Brother too advancing
this way, good Heavens defend me from being seen by him. [She goes
off. Enter Willmore, and after him Valeria, at a little distance.
Will. Ah! There she sails, she looks back as she were willing to be
boarded, I'll warrant her Prize. [He goes out, Valeria following.
Enter Hellena, just as he goes out, with a Page. Hell. Hah, is not
that my Captain that has a Woman in chase?- 'tis not Angelica. Boy,
follow those People at a distance, and bring me an Account where they
go in.- I'll find his Haunts, and plague him every where.- ha- my
Brother! [Exit Page. [Bel. Wil. Ped. cross the Stage: Hell. runs off.
Scene changes to another Street. Enter Florinda. Flor. What shall I
do, my Brother now pursues me. Will no kind Power protect me from his
Tyranny? - Hah, here's a Door open, I'll venture in, since nothing can
be worse than to fall into his Hands, my Life and Honour are at stake,
and my Necessity has no choice. [She goes in. Enter Valeria, and
Hellena's Page Peeping after Florinda. Pag. Here she went in, I shall
remember this House.
