312 THE POEMS OF ANNE �But I must go, before the day appears, 10 �Kind night conceal my blushes, and my fears. �[She goes with a key in her hand, to the door. A violent calling and knocking is heard from the other side of itt. �Vil. Ho! Carino, open the door, Carino, We must immediately speak with the great Master; Ho! Carino. �Mar. Oh! I am ruin'd, whether shall I run, How 'scape their sight, how answer them How stay them? �Lin. Ho! rise Carino, rise and lett us through. �Mar. I must speak to 'em, why d'ye call thus loud, Your haste and noyse, has made me loose the key ? 20 �I cannot lett ye in, why come ye this way, The other's free, I cannot lett ye in. �Lin. No, Vilmarin was there, and 'tis barr'd up, Break down the door. �Mar. What shall I do, that's the great Master's chamber. �{Pointing to the other door. Yett in this danger I must try to 'scape By stealing down that way, to gain the street. �[She going to that door. Enter Aub: in his night gown, his sword �in his hand. �Aub. There's sure some mutiny they call so loud, �[Seeing her. Ha! What art thou, thou dreadfull apparition. �[She covers her face with her handkercheif. �Mar. Oh! I am nothing, nothing but confusion. 30 �[They beat down the other door. Enter Mont: Riv. Vil: Lin: Capr. �Month. What do I see! My sight sure plays me false, And night has rais'd a Vision to distract me. �[Aub. stands amazd saying nothing. ��� �
