Act:

Scene:
3
Mathias
What makes the Jew and Lodowicke so private?
I feare me 'tis about faire Abigall.
Mathias
No, this is the better, mother, view this well.
Mathias
But wherefore talk'd Von Lodowick with you?
Mathias
Yes, Madam, and my talke with him was but
About the borrowing of a booke or two.
Mathias
Sirra, Jew, remember the booke.
Mathias
Whither but to my faire love Abigall?
Mathias
I, Barabas, or else thou wrong'st me much.
Mathias
Does she receive them?
Mathias
Oh treacherous Lodowicke!
Mathias
I'le rouze him thence.
Mathias
What, hand in hand, I cannot suffer this.
Mathias
Well, let it passe, another time shall serve.
Mathias
Suffer me, Barabas, but to follow him.
Mathias
For this I'le have his heart.
Mathias
What greater gift can poore Mathias have?
Shall Lodowicke rob me of so faire a love?
My life is not so deare as Abigall.
Mathias
What, is he gone unto my mother?
Mathias
I cannot stay; for if my mother come,
Shee'll dye with griefe.
