I heard no noise until my lady called. 2231

_D._ Thou wert asleep?

_Mar._ I was asleep, my lady.

_D._ ’Tis strange. Stand thou aside.

_Dor._ (_aside_). Now then for Rose.

_Mar._ (_do._). She really was asleep.

_Fl._ (_do._). Then what shall come?

_D._ Now, Rose, thou’rt left alone. Thy fellow-servants

Have all denied the thing of which some one

At least is guilty. Thee I did not suspect:

But do not fear to tell the truth. Who was it?

Tell me who is thy lover. No tittering there!

Your levity makes you all accomplices,

Ay, every one.

_ROSE._
