MASK. Why, _qui vult decipi decipiatur_.--'Tis no fault of mine: I have

future caution. Now to prepare my lord to consent to this. But first I
must instruct my little Levite; there is no plot, public or private, that
can expect to prosper without one of them has a finger in't: he promised
me to be within at this hour,--Mr. Saygrace, Mr. Saygrace! [_Goes to the
chamber door and knocks_.]
