SCENE IV.

A Court before the Priory.

Enter ISAAC, crossing the stage, DON ANTONIO following.

Don Ant. What, my friend Isaac!

Isaac. What, Antonio! wish me joy! I have Louisa safe.

Don Ant. Have you? I wish you joy with all my soul.

Isaac. Yes, I come here to procure a priest to marry us.

Don Ant. So, then, we are both on the same errand; I am come to look for Father Paul.

Isaac. Ha! I’m glad on’t — but, i’faith, he must tack me first; my love is waiting.

Don Ant. So is mine — I left her in the porch.

Isaac. Ay, but I’m in haste to go back to Don Jerome.

Don Ant. And so am I too.

Isaac. Well, perhaps he’ll save time, and marry us both together — or I’ll be your father, and you shall be mine. Come along — but you are obliged to me for all this.

Don Ant. Yes, yes. [Exeunt.]
