THE SEPERATION: A TRAGEDY.
Good day, and Heaven curtail thee of thy wits
To make thee wiser! [Exit into the gate, and followed by Ludoviquo, &c. &c.
ROVANI (alone).
With the stale flatt'ry of a practised coxcomb,
Though plainly sueing for another's favour.
A very, very woman!—As I guess'd,

Although how far in blameful act advanced

What good have I in living free from wedlock,
If I for husband's honour thus take thought?
Better it were to wear the horns myself,
Knowing it not, than fret for other men. [Exit.
