[Exit Lady Pizalta.

SCENE III. The Piazza. Enter Ludovico singing.

SCENE III.

Give me but Wine, that Liquor of Life,

Two or three Friends, but the Devil a Wife,

Enter Lucy.

Lucy. What singing, Signior! Well you're a pleasant Gentleman——

——

Lud. Ah! my little female Mercury, what Message bring'st thou? Ha——will thy Lady bless me with another Sight——Ha——How——When? where? I am all in a Flame.

——

——

——

——

Lucy. Come along with me, Sir, I'll help you to an Extinguisher presently.

Lud. If thou meanest thy Lady, with all my Heart—But I can tell thee, she'll rather prove Oil, than what you speak of——But, say, where am I to see my lovely Charmer?

——

Lucy. In her Chamber——

——

Lud. Good! But how the Devil can that be done?

Lucy. Nay, without the Help of a Conjuror, I assure you; if you dare take me for your Pilot, I'll warrant you Success in your Voyage——I'll set you safe in the Island of Love; 'tis your Business to improve the Soil.
