lock up the Wench in your Chamber. Fred. Fear nothing,
Madam, whate'er he threatens, you're safe whilst in my Hands. [Ex.
Fred. and Flor. Blunt. And, Sirrah- upon your Life, say- I am not at
home- or that I am asleep- or- or anything- away- I'll prevent them

'dsheartlikins, this villainous Frederick has betray'd me, they have
heard of my blessed Fortune. Ned Blunt, Ned, Ned- [and knocking
within. Belv. Why, he's dead, Sir, without dispute dead, he has not
