TO
HIS
GRACE
,
WILLIAM
,
DUKE
of
NEW
CASTLE
,
One
of
his
Majestie
's
most
Honourable
Privy
Council
;
and
of
the
most
noble
Order
of
the
Garter
,
&c.
AMongst
those
few
persons
of
Wit
and
Honour
,
whose
favourable
opinion
I
have
desir'd
,
your
own
vertue
and
my
great
obligations
to
your
Grace
,
have
justly
given
you
the
precedence
.
For
what
could
be
more
glorious
to
me
,
than
to
have
acquir'd
some
part
of
your
esteem
,
who
are
admir'd
and
honour'd
by
all
good
men
;
who
have
been
,
for
so
many
years
together
,
the
Pattern
and
Standard
of
Honor
to
the
Nation
:
and
whose
whole
life
has
been
so
great
an
example
of
Heroick
vertue
,
that
we
might
wonder
how
it
happen'd
into
an
Age
so
corrupt
as
ours
,
if
it
had
not
likewise
been
a
part
of
the
former
?
as
you
came
into
the
world
with
all
the
advantages
of
a
noble
Birth
and
Education
,
so
you
have
rendred
both
,
yet
more
conspicuous
by
your
vertue
.
Fortune
,
indeed
,
has
perpetually
crown'd
your
undertakings
with
success
,
but
she
has
only
waited
on
your
valour
,
not
conducted
it
.
She
has
ministred
to
your
glory
like
a
slave
,
and
has
been
led
in
triumph
by
it
.
or
at
most
while
Honour
led
you
by
the
hand
to
greatness
,
fortune
only
follow'd
to
keep
you
from
sliding
back
in
the
ascent
.
That
which
Plutarch
accounted
her
favour
to
Cymon
and
Lucullus
,
was
but
her
justice
to
your
Grace
:
and
,
never
to
have
been
overcome
where
you
led
in
person
,
as
it
was
more
than
Hannibal
could
boast
;
so
it
was
all
that
providence
could
do
for
that
party
which
it
had
resolv'd
to
ruine
.
Thus
,
my
Lord
,
the
last
smiles
of
victory
were
on
your
armes
:
and
,
every
where
else
,
declaring
for
the
Rebels
,
she
seem'd
to
suspend
her self
,
and
to
doubt
,
before
she
took
her
flight
,
whether
she
were
able
wholly
to
abandon
that
cause
for
which
you
fought
.
But
the
greatest
tryals
of
your
Courage
and
Constancy
were
yet
to
come
:
many
had
ventur'd
their
fortunes
,
and
expos'd
their
lives
to
the
utmost
dangers
for
their
King
and
Country
,
who
ended
their
loyalty
with
the
War
:
and
submitting
to
the
iniquity
of
the
times
,
chose
rather
to
redeem
their
former
plenty
by
acknowledging
an
Usurper
,
then
to
suffer
with
an
unprofitable
fidelity
(
as
those
meaner
spirits
call'd
it
)
for
their
lawful
Soveraign
.
But
,
as
I
dare
not
accuse
so
many
of
our
Nobility
,
who
were
content
to
accept
their
Patrimonies
from
the
Clemency
of
the
Conquerour
,
and
to
retain
only
a
secret
veneration
for
their
Prince
,
amidst
the
open
worship
which
they
were
forc'd
to
pay
to
the
Usurper
,
who
had
dethron'd
him
;
so
,
I
hope
,
I
may
have
leave
to
extoll
that
vertue
which
acted
more
generously
;
and
which
was
not
satisfi'd
with
an
inward
devotion
to
Monarchy
,
but
produc'd
it self
to
view
,
and
asserted
the
cause
by
open
Martyrdome
.
Of
these
rare
patterns
of
loyalty
your
Grace
was
chief
:
those
examples
you
cou'd
not
find
,
you
made
.
Some
few
Cato's
there
were
with
you
whose
invincible
resolution
could
not
be
conquer'd
by
that
usurping
Caesar
:
your
vertue
oppos'd
it self
to
his
fortune
,
and
overcame
it
by
not
submitting
to
it
.
The
last
and
most
difficult
Enterprize
he
had
to
effect
,
when
he
had
conquer'd
three
Nations
,
was
to
subdue
your
spirits
:
and
he
dy'd
weary
of
that
War
,
and
unable
to
finish
it
.
In
the
mean
time
you
liv'd
more
happily
in
your
exile
then
the
other
on
his
Throne
:
your
loyalty
made
you
friends
and
servants
amongst
Forreigners
:
and
you
liv'd
plentifully
without
a
fortune
;
for
you
liv'd
on
your
own
desert
and
reputation
.
The
glorious
Name
of
the
valiant
and
faithful
Newcastle
was
a
Patrimony
which
cou'd
never
be
exhausted
.
Thus
,
my
Lord
,
the
morning
of
your
life
was
clear
,
and
calm
;
and
,
though
it
was
afterwards
overcast
;
yet
,
in
that
general
storm
,
you
were
never
without
a
shelter
.
And
now
you
are
happily
arriv'd
to
the
evening
of
a
day
as
serene
,
as
the
dawn
of
it
was
glorious
:
but
such
an
evening
as
,
I
hope
,
and
almost
prophesie
,
is
far
from
night
:
'T
is
the
Evening
of
a
Summer's
Sun
,
which
keeps
the
day-light
long
within
the
skies
.
The
health
of
your
body
is
maintain'd
by
the
vigour
of
your
mind
:
neither
does
the
one
shrink
from
the
fatigue
of
exercise
,
nor
the
other
bend
under
the
pains
of
study
.
Methinks
I
behold
in
you
another
Caius
Marius
,
who
in
the
extremity
of
his
age
,
exercis'd
himself
almost
every
morning
in
the
Campus
Martius
,
amongst
the
youthful
Nobility
of
Rome
.
And
afterwards
,
in
your
retirements
,
when
you
do
honour
to
Poetrie
,
by
employing
part
of
your
leisure
in
it
,
I
regard
you
as
another
Silius
Italicus
,
who
having
pass'd
over
his
Consulship
with
applause
,
dismiss'd
himself
from
business
and
from
the
Gown
,
and
employ'd
his
age
,
amongst
the
shades
,
in
the
reading
and
imitation
of
Virgil.
In
which
,
lest
any
thing
should
be
wanting
to
your
happiness
,
you
have
,
by
a
rare
effect
of
Fortune
,
found
,
in
the
person
of
your
excellent
Lady
,
not
only
a
Lover
,
but
a
Partner
of
your
studies
.
A
Lady
whom
our
Age
may
justly
equal
with
the
Sappho
of
the
Greeks
,
or
the
Sulpitia
of
the
Romans
.
Who
,
by
being
taken
into
your
bosome
,
seems
to
be
inspir'd
with
your
Genius
:
And
by
writing
the
History
of
your
life
in
so
masculine
a
style
,
has
already
plac'd
you
in
the
Number
of
the
Heroes
.
She
has
anticipated
that
great
portion
of
Fame
which
envy
often
hinders
a
living
vertue
from
possessing
:
which
wou'd
,
indeed
,
have
been
given
to
your
ashes
,
but
with
a
latter
payment
:
and
,
of
which
you
could
have
no
present
use
,
except
it
were
by
a
secret
presage
of
that
which
was
to
come
,
when
you
were
no
longer
in
a
possibility
of
knowing
it
.
So
that
if
that
were
a
praise
or
satisfaction
to
the
greatest
of
Emperors
,
which
the
most
judicious
of
Poets
gives
him
,
Praesenti
tibi
maturos
largimur
honores
,
&c.
That
the
adoration
which
was
not
allowed
to
Hercules
and
Romulus
till
after
death
,
was
given
to
Augustus
living
;
then
certainly
it
cannot
be
deny'd
but
that
your
Grace
has
receiv'd
a
double
satisfaction
:
the
one
,
to
see
your self
consecrated
to
immortality
while
you
are
yet
alive
:
the
other
,
to
have
your
praises
celebrated
by
so
dear
,
so
just
,
and
so
pious
an
Historian
.
'T
is
the
consideration
of
this
that
stops
my
pen
:
though
I
am
loath
to
leave
so
fair
a
subject
,
which
gives
me
as
much
field
as
Poetry
cou'd
wish
;
and
yet
no
more
than
truth
can
justifie
.
But
to
attempt
any
thing
of
a
Panegyrick
were
to
enterprize
on
your
Lady's
right
;
and
to
seem
to
affect
those
praises
,
which
none
but
the
Dutchess
of
Newcastle
can
deserve
,
when
she
writes
the
actions
of
her
Lord.
I
shall
therefore
leave
that
wider
space
,
and
contract
my self
to
those
narrow
bounds
which
best
become
my
Fortune
and
Employment
.
I
am
oblig'd
,
my
Lord
,
to
return
you
not
only
my
own
acknowledgements
;
but
to
thank
you
in
the
name
of
former
Poets
.
The
manes
of
Johnson
and
D'avenant
seem
to
require
it
from
me
,
that
those
favours
which
you
plac'd
on
them
,
and
which
they
wanted
opportunity
to
own
in
publick
,
yet
might
not
be
lost
to
the
knowledge
of
Posterity
,
with
a
forgetfulness
unbecoming
of
the
Muses
,
who
are
the
Daughters
of
Memory
.
And
give
me
leave
,
my
Lord
,
to
avow
so
much
of
vanity
,
as
to
say
,
I
am
proud
to
be
their
Remembrancer
:
for
,
by
relating
how
gracious
you
have
been
to
them
,
and
are
to
me
,
I
in
some
measure
joyn
my
name
with
theirs
:
and
the
continu'd
descent
of
your
favours
to
me
is
the
best
title
which
I
can
plead
for
my
succession
.
I
only
wish
,
that
I
had
as
great
reason
to
be
satisfi'd
with
my self
,
in
the
return
of
our
common
acknowledgements
,
as
your
Grace
may
justly
take
in
the
conferring
them
:
for
I
cannot
but
be
very
sensible
that
the
present
of
an
ill
Comedy
,
which
I
here
make
you
,
is
a
very
unsuitable
way
of
giving
thanks
for
them
,
who
themselves
have
written
so
many
better
.
This
pretends
to
nothing
more
than
to
be
a
foyl
to
those
Scenes
,
which
are
compos'd
by
the
most
noble
Poet
of
our
Age
,
and
Nation
:
and
to
be
set
as
a
water-mark
of
the
lowest
ebb
,
to
which
the
wit
of
my
Predecessors
has
sunk
and
run
down
in
me
:
but
,
though
all
of
'em
have
surpass'd
me
in
the
Scene
;
there
is
one
part
of
glory
in
which
I
will
not
yield
to
any
of
them
.
I
mean
,
my
Lord
,
that
honour
and
veneration
which
they
had
for
you
in
their
lives
;
and
which
I
preserve
after
them
,
more
holily
than
the
Vestal
fires
were
maintain'd
from
Age
to
Age
;
but
with
a
greater
degree
of
heat
and
of
devotion
than
theirs
,
as
being
with
more
respect
and
passion
then
they
ever
were
Your
GRACES
most
obliged
,
most
humble
,
and
most
obedient
Servant

PREFACE
.
I
Had
thought
,
Reader
,
in
this
Preface
to
have
written
somewhat
concerning
the
difference
betwixt
the
Playes
of
our
Age
,
and
those
of
our
Predecessors
on
the
English
Stage
:
to
have
shewn
in
what
parts
of
Dramatick
Poesie
we
were
excell'd
by
Ben.
Johnson
,
I
mean
,
humour
,
and
contrivance
of
Comedy
;
and
in
what
we
may
justly
claim
precedence
of
Shakespear
and
Fletcher
,
namely
in
Heroick
Playes
:
but
this
design
I
have
wav'd
on
second
considerations
;
at
least
deferr'd
it
till
I
publish
the
Conquest
of
Granada
,
where
the
discourse
will
be
more
proper
.
I
had
also
prepar'd
to
treat
of
the
improvemeni
of
our
Language
since
Fletcher's
and
Johnson's
dayes
,
and
consequently
of
our
refining
the
Courtship
,
Raillery
,
and
Conversation
of
Playes
:
but
as
I
am
willing
to
decline
that
envy
which
I
shou'd
draw
on
my self
from
some
old
Opiniatre
judges
of
the
Stage
;
so
likewise
I
am
prest
in
time
so
much
that
I
have
not
leisure
,
at
present
,
to
go
thorough
with
it
.
Neither
,
indeed
,
do
I
value
a
reputation
gain'd
from
Comedy
,
so
far
as
to
concern
my self
about
it
any
more
than
I
needs
must
in
my
own
defence
:
for
I
think
it
,
in
it's
own
noture
,
inferiour
to
all
sorts
of
Dramatick
writing
.
Low
Comedy
especially
requires
,
on
the
Writers
part
,
much
of
conversation
with
the
vulgar
:
and
much
of
ill
nature
in
the
observation
of
their
follies
.
But
let
all
men
please
themselves
according
to
their
several
tastes
:
that
which
is
not
pleasant
to
me
may
be
to
others
who
judge
better
:
and
,
to
prevent
an
accusation
from
my
enemies
,
I
am
sometimes
ready
to
imagine
that
my
disgust
of
low
Comedy
proceeds
not
so
much
from
my
judgement
as
from
my
temper
;
which
is
the
reason
why
I
so
seldom
write
it
;
and
that
when
I
succeed
in
it
,
(
I
mean
so
far
as
to
please
the
Audience
)
yet
I
am
nothing
satisfi'd
with
what
I
have
done
;
but
am
often
vex'd
to
hear
the
people
laugh
,
and
clap
,
as
they
perpetually
do
,
where
I
intended
'em
no
jest
;
while
they
let
pass
the
better
things
without
taking
notice
of
them
.
Yet
even
this
confirms
me
in
my
opinion
of
slighting
popular
applause
,
and
of
contemning
that
approbation
which
those
very
people
give
,
equally
with
me
,
to
the
Zany
of
a
Mountebank
;
or
to
the
appearance
of
an
Antick
on
the
Theatre
,
without
wit
on
the
Poets
part
,
or
any
occasion
of
laughter
from
the
Actor
,
besides
the
ridiculousness
of
his
habit
and
his
Grimaces
.
But
I
have
descended
before
I
was
aware
,
from
Comedy
to
Farce
;
which
consists
principally
of
Grimaces
.
That
I
admire
not
any
Comedy
equally
with
Tragedy
,
is
,
perhaps
,
from
the
sullenness
of
my
humor
;
but
that
I
detest
those
Farees
,
which
are
now
the
most
frequent
entertainments
of
the
Stage
,
I
am
sure
I
have
reason
on
my
side
.
Comedy
consists
,
though
of
low
persons
,
yet
of
natural
actions
,
and
characters
;
I
mean
such
humours
,
adventures
,
and
designes
,
as
are
to
be
found
and
met
with
in
the
world
.
Farce
,
on
the
other
side
,
consists
of
forc'd
humours
,
and
unnatural
events
:
Comedy
presents
us
with
the
imperfections
of
humane
nature
.
Farce
entertains
us
with
what
is
monstruous
and
chimerical
:
the
one
causes
laughter
in
those
who
can
judge
of
men
and
manners
;
by
the
lively
representation
of
their
folly
or
corruption
;
the
other
produces
the
same
effect
in
those
who
can
judge
of
neither
,
and
that
only
by
its
extravagances
.
The
first
works
on
the
judgment
and
fancy
;
the
latter
on
the
fancy
only
:
There
is
more
of
satisfaction
in
the
former
kind
of
laughter
,
and
in
the
latter
more
of
scorn
.
But
,
how
it
happens
that
an
impossible
adventure
should
cause
our
mirth
,
I
cannot
so
easily
imagine
.
Something
there
may
be
in
the
oddness
of
it
,
because
on
the
Stage
it
is
the
common
effect
of
things
unexpected
to
surprize
us
into
a
delight
:
and
that
is
to
be
ascrib'd
to
the
strange
appetite
,
as
I
may
call
it
,
of
the
fancy
;
which
,
like
that
of
a
longing
Woman
,
often
runs
out
into
the
most
extravagant
desires
;
and
is
better
satisfi●d
sometimes
with
Loam
,
or
with
the
Rinds
of
Trees
,
than
with
the
wholsome
nourishments
of
life
.
In
short
,
there
is
the
same
difference
betwixt
Farce
and
Comedy
,
as
betwixt
an
Empirique
and
a
true
Physitian
:
both
of
them
may
attain
their
ends
;
but
what
the
one
performs
by
hazard
,
the
other
does
by
skill
.
And
as
the
Artist
is
often
unsuccessful
,
while
the
Mountebank
succeeds
;
so
Farces
more
commonly
take
the
people
than
Comedies
.
For
to
write
unnatural
things
,
is
the
most
probable
way
of
pleasing
them
,
who
understand
not
Nature
.
And
a
true
Poet
often
misses
of
applause
,
because
he
cannot
debase
himself
to
write
so
ill
as
to
please
his
Audience
.
After
all
,
it
is
to
be
acknowledg'd
,
that
most
of
those
Comedies
,
which
have
been
lately
written
,
have
been
ally'd
too
much
to
Farce
:
and
this
must
of
necessity
fall
out
till
we
forbear
the
translation
of
French
Plays
:
for
their
Poets
wanting
judgement
to
make
,
or
to
maintain
true
characters
,
strive
to
cover
their
defects
with
ridiculous
Figures
and
Grimaces
.
While
I
say
this
I
accuse
my self
as
well
as
others
:
and
this
very
play
would
rise
up
in
judgment
against
me
,
if
I
would
de
fend
all
things
I
have
written
to
be
natural
:
but
I
confess
I
have
given
too
much
to
the
people
in
it
,
and
am
asham'd
for
them
as
well
as
for
my self
,
that
I
have
pleas'd
them
at
so
cheap
a
rate
:
not
that
there
is
anything
here
which
I
would
not
defend
to
an
ill-natur'd
judge
:
(
for
I
despise
their
censures
,
who
I
am
sure
wou'd
write
worse
on
the
same
subject
:
)
but
because
I
love
to
deal
clearly
and
plainly
,
and
to
speak
of
my
own
faults
withmore
criticism
,
then
I
would
of
another
Poets
.
Yet
I
think
it
no
vanity
to
say
that
this
Comedy
has
as
much
of
entertainment
in
as
it
many
other
which
have
bin
lately
written
:
and
,
if
I
find
my
own
errors
in
it
,
I
am
able
at
the
same
time
to
arraign
all
my
Contemporaries
for
greater
.
As
I
pretend
not
that
I
can
write
humour
,
so
none
of
them
can
reasonably
pretend
to
have
written
it
as
they
ought
.
Johnson
was
the
only
man
of
all
Ages
and
Nations
wo
has
perform'd
it
well
;
and
that
but
in
three
or
four
of
his
Comedies
:
the
rest
are
but
a
Crambe
bis
cocta
;
the
same
humours
a
little
vary'd
and
written
worse
:
neither
was
it
more
allowable
in
him
,
than
it
is
in
our
present
Poets
,
to
represent
the
follies
of
particular
persons
;
of
which
many
have
accus'd
him
.
Parcere
personis
dicere
de
vitiis
is
the
rule
of
Plays
.
And
Horace
tells
you
that
the
old
Comedy
amongst
the
Grecians
was
silenc'd
for
the
too
great
liberties
of
the
Poets
.
—
—
In
vitium
libertas
excidit
&
vim
Dignam
lege
regi
:
lex
est
accepta
chorusque
Turpiter
obticuit
,
sublato
jure
nocendi
.
Of
which
he
gives
you
the
reason
in
another
place
:
where
having
given
the
precept
.
Neve
immunda
crepent
,
ignominiosáque
dicta
:
He
immediately
subjoyns
,
Offenduntur
enim
,
quibus
est
equus
,
&
pater
,
&
res
.
But
Ben.
Johnson
is
to
be
admir'd
for
many
excellencies
;
and
can
be
tax'd
with
fewer
failings
than
any
English
Poet.
I
know
I
have
been
accus'd
as
an
enemy
of
his
writings
;
but
without
any
other
reason
than
that
I
do
not
admire
him
blindly
,
and
without
looking
into
his
imperfections
.
For
why
should
he
only
be
exempted
from
those
frailties
,
from
which
Homer
and
Virgil
are
not
free
?
Or
why
should
there
be
any
ipse
dixit
in
our
Poetry
,
any
more
than
there
is
in
our
Philosophy
?
I
admire
and
applaud
him
where
I
ought
:
those
who
do
more
do
but
value
themselves
in
their
admiration
of
him
:
and
,
by
telling
you
they
extoll
Ben.
Johnson
s
way
,
would
insinuate
to
you
that
they
can
practice
it
.
For
my
part
I
declare
that
I
want
judgement
to
imitate
him
:
and
shou'd
think
it
a
great
impudence
in
my self
to
attempt
it
.
To
make
men
appear
pleasantly
ridiculous
on
the
Stage
was
,
as
I
have
said
,
his
talent
:
and
in
this
he
needed
not
the
acumen
of
wit
,
but
that
of
judgement
.
For
the
characters
and
representations
of
folly
are
only
the
effects
of
observation
;
and
observation
is
an
effect
of
judgment
.
Some
ingenious
men
,
for
whom
I
have
a
particular
esteem
,
have
thought
I
have
much
injur'd
Ben.
Johnson
when
I
have
not
allow'd
his
wit
to
be
extraordinary
:
but
they
confound
the
notion
of
what
is
witty
with
what
is
pleasant
.
That
Ben.
Johnson's
Playes
were
pleasant
he
must
want
reason
who
denyes
:
But
that
pleasantness
was
not
properly
wit
,
or
the
sharpness
of
conceit
;
but
the
natural
imitation
of
folly
:
which
I
confess
to
be
excellent
in
it's
kind
,
but
not
to
be
of
that
kind
which
they
pretend
.
Yet
if
we
will
believe
Quintilian
in
his
Chapter
de
Movendo
risu
,
he
gives
his
opinion
of
both
in
these
following
words
.
Stulta
reprehendere
facillimum
est
;
nam
per
se
sunt
ridicula
:
&
a
derisu
non
procul
abest
risus
:
sed
rem
urbanam
facit
aliqua
ex
nobis
adjectio
.
And
some
perhaps
wou'd
be
apt
to
say
of
Johnson
as
it
was
said
of
Demosthenes
;
Non
displicuisse
illi
j●cos
,
sed
non
contig●sse
,
I
will
not
deny
but
that
I
approve
most
the
mixt
way
of
Comedy
;
that
which
is
neither
all
wit
,
nor
all
humour
,
but
the
result
of
both
.
Neither
so
little
of
humour
as
Fletcher
shews
,
nor
so
little
of
love
and
wit
,
as
Johnson
.
Neither
all
cheat
,
with
which
the
best
Playes
of
the
one
are
fill'd
,
nor
all
adventure
,
which
is
the
common
practice
of
the
other
.
I
would
have
the
characters
well
chosen
,
and
kept
distant
from
interfaring
with
each
other
;
which
is
more
than
Fletcher
or
Shakespear
did
:
but
I
would
have
more
of
the
Urbana
,
venusta
,
s●lsa
,
faceta
and
the
rest
which
Quintilian
reckons
up
as
the
ornaments
of
wit
;
and
these
are
extremely
wanting
in
Ben.
Johnson
.
As
for
repartie
in
particular
;
as
it
is
the
very
soul
of
conversation
,
so
it
is
the
greatest
grace
of
Comedy
,
where
it
is
proper
to
the
Characters
:
there
may
be
much
of
acuteness
in
a
thing
well
said
;
but
there
is
more
in
a
quick
reply
:
sunt
,
enim
,
longè
venustiora
omnia
in
respondendo
quàm
in
provocando
.
Of
one
thing
I
am
sure
,
that
no
man
ever
will
decry
wit
,
but
he
who
despairs
of
it
himself
;
and
who
has
no
other
quarrel
to
it
but
that
which
the
Fox
had
to
the
Grapes
.
Yet
,
as
Mr.
Cowley
,
(
who
had
a
greater
portion
of
it
than
any
man
I
know
)
tells
us
in
his
Character
of
Wit
,
rather
than
all
wit
let
there
be
none
;
I
think
there
's
no
folly
so
great
in
any
Poet
of
our
Age
as
the
superfluity
and
wast
of
wit
was
in
some
of
our
predecessors
:
particularly
we
may
say
of
Fletcher
and
of
Shakespear
,
what
was
said
of
Ovid
,
In
omni
ejus
ingenio
,
facilius
quod
rejici
,
quàm
quod
adjici
potest
,
invenies
.
The
contrary
of
which
was
true
in
Virgil
and
our
incomparable
Johnson
.
Some
enemies
of
Repartie
have
observ'd
to
us
,
that
there
is
a
great
latitude
in
their
Characters
,
which
are
made
to
speak
it
:
And
that
it
is
easier
to
write
wit
than
humour
;
because
in
the
characters
of
humour
,
the
Poet
is
confin'd
to
make
the
person
speak
what
is
only
proper
to
it
.
Whereas
all
kind
of
wit
is
proper
in
the
Character
of
a
witty
person
.
But
,
by
their
favour
,
there
are
as
different
characters
in
wit
as
in
folly
.
Neither
is
all
kind
of
wit
proper
in
the
mouth
of
every
ingenious
person
.
A
witty
Coward
and
a
wity
Brave
must
speak
differently
.
Falstaffe
and
the
Lyar
,
speak
not
like
Don
John
in
the
Chances
,
and
Valentine
in
Wit
without
Money
.
And
Johnson's
Truwit
in
the
Silent
Woman
,
is
a
Character
different
from
all
of
them
.
Yet
it
appears
that
this
one
Character
of
Wit
was
more
difficult
to
the
Author
,
than
all
his
images
of
humour
in
the
Play
:
For
those
he
could
describe
and
manage
from
his
observation
of
men
;
this
he
has
taken
,
at
least
a
part
of
it
,
from
books
:
witness
the
Specches
in
the
first
Act
,
translated
verbatim
out
of
Ovid
de
Arte
Amandi
.
To
omit
what
afterwards
he
borrowed
from
the
sixth
Satyre
of
Juvenal
against
Women
.
However
,
if
I
should
grant
,
that
there
were
a
greater
latitude
in
Characters
of
Wit
,
than
in
those
of
Humour
;
yet
that
latitude
would
be
of
small
advantage
to
such
Poets
who
have
too
narrow
an
imagination
to
write
it
.
And
to
entertain
an
Audience
perpetually
with
Humour
,
is
to
carry
them
from
the
conversation
of
Gentlemen
,
and
treat
them
with
the
follies
and
extravagances
of
Bedlam
.
I
find
I
have
launch'd
out
farther
than
I
intended
in
the
beginning
of
this
Preface
.
And
that
in
the
heat
of
writing
,
I
have
touch'd
at
something
,
which
I
thought
to
have
avoided
.
'T
is
time
now
to
draw
homeward
:
and
to
think
rather
of
defending
my self
,
than
assaulting
others
.
I
have
already
acknowledg'd
that
this
Play
is
far
from
perfect
:
but
I
do
not
think
my self
oblig'd
to
discover
the
imperfections
of
it
to
my
Adversaries
,
any
more
than
a
guilty
person
is
bound
to
accuse
himself
before
his
Judges
.
'T
is
charg'd
upon
me
that
I
make
debauch'd
persons
(
such
as
they
say
my
Astrologer
and
Gamester
are
)
my
Protagonists
,
or
the
chief
persons
of
the
Drama
;
and
that
I
make
them
happy
in
the
conclusion
of
my
Play
;
against
the
Law
of
Comedy
,
which
is
to
reward
virtue
and
punish
vice
.
I
answer
first
,
that
I
know
no
such
law
to
have
been
constantly
observ'd
in
Comedy
,
either
by
the
Ancient
or
Modern
Poets
.
Choerea
is
made
happy
in
the
Eunuch
,
after
having
deflour'd
a
Virgin
:
and
Terence
generally
does
the
same
through
all
his
Plays
,
where
you
perpetually
see
,
not
only
debauch'd
young
men
enjoy
their
Mistresses
,
but
even
the
Courtezans
themselves
rewarded
and
honour'd
in
the
Catastrophe
.
The
same
may
be
observ'd
in
Plautus
almost
every
where
.
Ben.
Johnson
himself
,
after
whom
I
may
be
proud
to
erre
,
has
given
me
more
than
once
the
example
of
it
.
That
in
the
Alchemist
is
notorious
,
where
Face
,
after
having
contriv'd
and
carried
on
the
great
cozenage
of
the
Play
,
and
continued
in
it
without
repentance
to
the
last
,
is
not
only
forgiven
by
his
Master
,
but
inrich'd
by
his
consent
,
with
the
spoiles
of
those
whom
he
had
cheated
.
And
,
which
is
more
,
his
Master
himself
,
a
grave
man
,
and
a
Widower
,
is
introduc'd
taking
his
Man's
counsel
,
debauching
the
Widow
first
,
in
hope
to
marry
her
afterward
.
In
the
Silent
Woman
,
Dauphine
,
(
who
with
the
other
two
Gentlemen
,
is
of
the
same
Character
with
my
Celadon
in
the
Maiden
Queen
,
and
with
Wildblood
in
this
)
professes
himself
in
love
with
all
the
Collegiate
Ladies
:
and
they
likewise
are
all
of
the
same
Character
with
each
other
,
excepting
only
Madam
Otter
,
who
has
something
singular
:
)
yet
this
naughty
Dauphine
is
crown'd
in
the
end
with
the
possession
of
his
Uncles
Estate
,
and
with
the
hopes
of
enjoying
all
his
Mistresses
.
And
his
friend
Mr.
Truwit
(
the
best
Character
of
a
Gentleman
which
Ben.
Johnson
ever
made
)
is
not
asham'd
to
pimp
for
him
.
As
for
Beaumont
and
Fletcher
,
I
need
not
alledge
examples
out
of
them
;
for
that
were
to
quote
almost
all
their
Comedies
.
But
now
it
will
be
objected
that
I
patronize
vice
by
the
authority
of
former
Poets
,
and
extenuate
my
own
faults
by
recrimination
.
I
answer
that
as
I
defend
my self
by
their
example
;
so
that
example
I
defend
by
reason
,
and
by
the
end
of
all
Dramatique
Poesie
.
In
the
first
place
therefore
give
me
leave
to
shew
you
their
mistake
who
have
accus'd
me
.
They
have
not
distinguish'd
,
as
they
ought
,
betwixt-the
rules
of
Tragedy
and
Comedy
.
In
Tragedy
,
where
the
Actions
and
Persons
are
great
,
and
the
crimes
horrid
,
the
laws
of
justice
are
more
strictly
to
be
observ'd
:
and
examples
of
punishment
to
be
made
to
deterre
mankind
from
the
pursuit
of
vice
.
Faults
of
this
kind
have
been
rare
amongst
the
Ancient
Poets
:
for
they
have
punish'd
in
Oedipus
,
and
in
his
posterity
,
the
sinne
which
he
knew
not
he
had
committed
.
Medea
is
the
only
example
I
remember
at
present
,
who
escapes
from
punishment
after
murder
.
Thus
Tragedie
fulfils
one
great
part
of
its
institution
;
which
is
by
example
to
instruct
.
But
in
Comedy
it
is
not
so
;
for
the
chief
end
of
it
is
divertisement
and
delight
:
and
that
so
much
,
that
it
is
disputed
,
I
think
,
by
Heinsius
,
before
Horace
his
art
of
Poetry
,
whether
instruction
be
any
part
of
its
employment
.
At
least
I
am
sure
it
can
be
but
its
secondary
end
:
for
the
business
of
the
Poet
is
to
make
you
laugh
:
when
he
writes
humour
he
makes
folly
ridiculous
;
when
wit
,
he
moves
you
,
if
not
alwayes
to
laughter
,
yet
to
a
pleasure
that
is
more
noble
.
And
if
he
works
a
cure
on
folly
,
and
the
small
imperfections
in
mankind
,
by
exposing
them
to
publick
view
,
that
cure
is
not
perform'd
by
an
immediate
operation
.
For
it
works
first
on
the
ill
nature
of
the
Audience
;
they
are
mov'd
to
laugh
by
the
representation
of
deformity
;
and
the
shame
of
that
laughter
,
teaches
us
to
amend
what
is
ridiculous
in
our
manners
.
This
being
,
then
,
establish'd
,
that
the
first
end
of
Comedie
is
delight
,
and
instruction
only
the
second
;
it
may
reasonably
be
inferr'd
that
Comedy
is
not
so
much
oblig'd
to
the
punishment
of
the
faults
which
it
represents
,
as
Tragedy
.
For
the
persons
in
Comedy
are
of
a
lower
quality
,
the
action
is
little
,
and
the
faults
and
vices
are
but
the
sallies
of
youth
,
and
the
frailties
of
humane
nature
,
and
not
premeditated
crimes
:
such
to
which
all
men
are
obnoxious
,
not
such
,
as
are
attempted
only
by
few
,
and
those
abandonn'd
to
all
sense
of
vertue
:
such
as
move
pity
and
commiseration
;
not
detestation
and
horror
;
such
in
short
as
may
be
forgiven
,
not
such
as
must
of
necessity
be
punish'd
.
But
,
lest
any
man
should
think
that
I
write
this
to
make
libertinism
amiable
;
or
that
I
car'd
not
to
debase
the
end
and
institution
of
Comedy
,
so
I
might
thereby
maintain
my
own
errors
,
and
those
of
better
Poets
;
I
must
farther
declare
,
both
for
them
and
for
my self
,
that
we
make
not
vicious
persons
happy
,
but
only
as
heaven
makes
sinners
so
:
that
is
by
reclaiming
them
first
from
vice
.
For
so
't
is
to
be
suppos'd
they
are
,
when
they
resolve
to
marry
;
for
then
enjoying
what
they
desire
in
one
,
they
cease
to
pursue
the
love
of
many
.
So
Chaerea
is
made
happy
by
Terence
,
in
marrying
her
whom
he
had
deflour'd
:
And
so
are
Wildblood
and
the
Astrologer
in
this
Play.
There
is
another
crime
with
which
I
am
charg'd
,
at
which
I
am
yet
much
less
concern'd
,
because
it
does
not
relate
to
my
manners
,
as
the
former
did
,
but
only
to
my
reputation
as
a
Poet
:
A
name
of
which
I
assure
the
Reader
I
am
nothing
proud
;
and
therefore
cannot
be
very
solicitous
to
defend
it
.
I
am
tax'd
with
stealing
all
my
Playes
,
and
that
by
some
who
should
be
the
last
men
from
whom
I
would
steal
any
part
of
'
em
.
There
is
one
answer
which
I
will
not
make
;
but
it
has
been
made
for
me
by
him
to
whose
Grace
and
Patronage
I
owe
all
things
.
Et
spes
&
ratio
studiorum
,
in
Caesare
tantum
.
And
without
whose
command
they
shou'd
no
longer
be
troubl'd
with
any
thing
of
mine
,
that
he
only
desir'd
that
they
who
accus'd
me
of
theft
would
alwayes
steal
him
Playes
like
mine
.
But
though
I
have
reason
to
be
proud
of
this
defence
,
yet
I
should
wave
it
,
because
I
have
a
worse
opinion
of
my
own
Comedies
than
any
of
my
Enemies
can
have
.
'T
is
true
,
that
where
ever
I
have
lik'd
any
story
in
a
Romance
,
Novel
,
or
forreign
Play
,
I
have
made
no
difficulty
,
nor
ever
shall
,
to
take
the
foundation
of
it
,
to
build
it
up
,
and
to
make
it
proper
for
the
English
Stage
.
And
I
will
be
so
vain
to
say
it
has
lost
nothing
in
my
hands
:
But
it
alwayes
cost
me
so
much
trouble
to
heighten
it
,
for
our
Theatre
(
which
is
incomparably
more
curious
in
all
the
ornaments
of
Dramatick
Poesie
,
than
the
French
or
Spanish
)
that
when
I
had
finish'd
my
Play
,
it
was
like
the
Hulk
of
Sir
Francis
Drake
,
so
strangely
alter'd
,
that
there
scarce
remain'd
any
Plank
of
the
Timber
which
first
built
it
.
To
witness
this
I
need
go
no
farther
than
this
Play
:
It
was
first
Spanish
,
and
call'd
El
Astrologo
fingido
;
then
made
French
by
the
younger
Corneille
:
and
is
now
translated
into
English
,
and
in
print
,
under
the
name
of
the
Feign'd
Astrologer
.
What
I
have
perform'd
in
this
will
best
appear
by
comparing
it
with
those
:
you
will
see
that
I
have
rejected
some
adventures
which
I
judg'd
were
not
divertising
:
that
I
have
heightned
those
which
I
have
chosen
,
and
that
I
have
added
others
which
were
neither
in
the
French
nor
Spanish
.
And
besides
yoù
will
easily
discover
that
the
Walk
of
the
Astrologer
is
the
least
considerable
in
my
Play
:
for
the
design
of
it
turns
more
on
the
parts
of
Wildblood
and
Jacinta
,
who
are
the
chief
persons
in
it
.
I
have
farther
to
add
,
that
I
seldome
use
the
wit
and
language
of
any
Romance
,
or
Play
which
I
undertake
to
alter
:
because
my
own
invention
(
as
bad
as
it
is
)
can
furnish
me
with
nothing
so
dull
as
what
is
there
.
Those
who
have
call'd
Virgil
,
Terence
,
and
Tasso
Plagiaries
(
though
they
much
injur'd
them
,
)
had
yet
a
better
colour
for
their
accusation
:
For
Virgil
has
evidently
translated
Theocritus
,
Hesiod
,
and
Homer
,
in
many
places
;
besides
what
he
has
taken
from
Ennius
in
his
own
language
.
Terence
was
not
only
known
to
translate
Menander
,
(
which
he
avows
also
in
his
Prologues
)
but
was
said
also
to
be
help
'
in
those
Translations
by
Scipio
the
African
,
and
Laelius
.
And
Tasso
,
the
most
excellent
of
modern
Poets
,
and
whom
I
reverence
next
to
Virgil
,
has
taken
both
from
Homer
many
admirable
things
which
were
left
untouch'd
by
Virgil
,
and
from
Virgil
himself
where
Homer
cou'd
not
furnish
him
.
Yet
the
bodies
of
Virgil's
and
Tasso's
Poems
were
their
own
:
and
so
are
all
the
Ornaments
of
language
and
elocution
in
them
.
The
same
(
if
there
were
any
thing
commendable
in
this
Play
)
I
could
say
for
it
.
But
I
will
come
nearer
to
our
own
Countrymen
.
Most
of
Shakespear's
Playes
,
I
mean
the
Stories
of
them
,
are
to
be
found
in
the
Hecatommuthi
,
or
hundred
Novels
of
Cinthio
.
I
have
,
my self
,
read
in
his
Italian
,
that
of
Romeo
and
Juliet
,
the
Moor
of
Venice
,
and
many
others
of
them
.
Beaumont
and
Fletcher
had
most
of
theirs
from
Spanish
Novels
:
witness
the
Chances
,
the
Spanish
Curate
,
Rule
a
Wife
and
have
a
Wife
,
the
Little
French
Lawyer
,
and
so
many
others
of
them
as
compose
the
greatest
part
of
their
Volume
in
folio
.
Ben.
Johnson
,
indeed
,
has
design'd
his
Plots
himself
;
but
no
man
has
borrow'd
so
much
from
the
Ancients
as
he
has
done
:
And
he
did
well
in
it
,
for
he
has
thereby
beautifi'd
our
language
.
But
these
little
Criticks
do
not
well
consider
what
is
the
work
of
a
Poet
,
and
what
the
Graces
of
a
Poem
:
The
Story
is
the
least
part
of
either
:
I
mean
the
foundation
of
it
,
before
it
is
modell'd
by
the
art
of
him
who
writes
it
;
who
formes
it
with
more
care
,
by
exposing
only
the
beautiful
parts
of
it
to
view
,
than
a
skilful
Lapidary
sets
a
Jewel
.
On
this
foundation
of
the
Story
the
Characters
are
rais'd
:
and
,
since
no
Story
can
afford
Characters
enough
for
the
variety
of
the
English
Stage
,
it
follows
that
it
is
to
be
alter'd
,
and
inlarg'd
,
with
new
persons
,
accidents
,
and
designes
,
which
wil
almost
make
it
new
.
When
this
is
done
,
the
forming
it
into
Acts
,
and
Scenes
,
disposing
of
actions
and
passións
into
their
proper
places
,
and
beautifying
both
with
descriptions
,
similitudes
,
and
propriety
of
language
,
is
the
principal
employment
of
the
Poet
;
as
being
the
largest
field
of
fancy
,
which
is
the
principall
quality
requir'd
in
him
:
For
so
much
the
word
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
imployes
.
Judgement
,
indeed
,
is
necessary
in
him
;
but
't
is
fancy
that
gives
the
life
touches
,
and
the
secret
graces
to
it
;
especially
in
serious
Plays
,
which
depend
not
much
on
observation
.
For
to
write
humour
in
Comedy
(
which
is
the
theft
of
Poets
from
mankind
)
little
of
fancy
is
requir'd
;
the
Poet
observes
only
what
is
ridiculous
,
and
pleasant
folly
,
and
by
judging
exactly
what
is
so
,
he
pleases
in
the
representation
of
it
.
But
in
general
,
the
employment
of
a
Poet
,
is
like
that
of
a
curious
Gunsmith
,
or
Watchmaker
:
the
Iron
or
Silver
is
not
his
own
;
but
they
are
the
least
part
of
that
which
gives
the
value
:
The
price
lyes
wholly
in
the
workmanship
.
And
he
who
works
dully
on
a
Story
,
without
moving
laughter
in
a
Comedy
,
or
raising
concernments
in
a
serious
Play
,
is
no
more
to
be
accounted
a
good
Poet
,
than
a
Gunsmith
of
the
Minories
is
to
be
compar'd
with
the
best
workman
of
the
Town
.
But
I
have
said
more
of
this
than
I
intended
;
and
more
,
perhaps
,
than
I
needed
to
have
done
:
I
shall
but
laugh
at
them
hereafter
,
who
accuse
me
with
so
little
reason
;
and
withall
contemn
their
dulness
,
who
,
if
they
could
ruine
that
little
reputation
I
have
got
,
and
which
I
value
not
,
yet
would
want
both
wit
and
learning
to
establish
their
own
;
or
to
be
rememberd
in
after
ages
for
any
thing
,
but
only
that
which
makes
them
ridiculous
in
this
.
Prologue
.
WHen
first
our
Poet
set
himself
to
write
,
Like
a
young
Bridegroom
on
his
Wedding-night
He
layd
about
him
,
and
did
so
bestir
him
,
His
Muse
could
never
lye
in
quiet
for
him
:
But
now
his
Honey-moon
is
gone
and
past
,
Yet
the
ungrateful
drudgery
must
last
:
And
he
is
bound
,
as
civil
Husbands
do
,
To
strain
himself
,
in
complaisance
to
you
:
To
write
in
pain
,
and
counterfeit
a
bliss
,
Like
the
faint
smackings
of
an
after
kiss
.
But
you
,
like
Wives
ill
pleas'd
,
supply
his
want
;
Each
writing
Monsieur
is
a
fresh
Gallant
:
And
though
,
perhaps
,
't
was
done
as
well
before
,
Yet
still
there
's
something
in
a
new
amour
.
Your
several
Poets
work
with
several
tools
,
One
gets
you
wits
,
another
gets
you
fools
:
This
pleases
you
with
some
by-stroke
of
wit
,
This
finds
some
cranny
,
that
was
never
hit
.
But
should
these
janty
Lovers
daily
come
To
do
your
work
,
like
your
good
man
at
home
,
Their
fine
small-timber'd
wits
would
soon
decay
;
These
are
Gallants
but
for
a
Holiday
.
Others
you
had
who
oftner
have
appear'd
,
Whom
,
for
meer
impotence
you
have
cashier'd
:
Such
as
at
first
came
on
with
pomp
and
glory
,
But
,
overstraining
,
soon
fell
flat
before
yee
.
Their
useless
weight
with
patience
long
was
born
,
But
at
the
last
you
threw
'em
off
with
scorn
.
As
for
the
Poet
of
this
present
night
,
Though
now
he
claims
in
you
an
Husbands
right
,
He
will
not
hinder
you
of
fresh
delight
.
He
,
like
a
Seaman
,
seldom
will
appear
;
And
means
to
trouble
home
but
thrice
a
year
:
That
only
time
from
your
Gallants
he
'll
borrow
;
Be
kind
to
day
,
and
Cuckold
him
to
morrow
.

Wild.
DId
you
speak
with
her
Woman
?
Mask
.
Yes
,
but
she
was
in
hast
,
and
bid
me
wait
her
hereabouts
when
she
return'd
.
Bell.
Then
you
have
discover'd
nothing
more
?
Mask
.
Only
,
in
general
,
that
Donna
Theodosia
is
engag'd
elsewhere
;
so
that
all
your
Courtship
will
be
to
no
purpose
.
[
To
Wild.
]
But
for
your
Mistress
,
Sir
,
she
is
waded
out
of
her
depth
in
love
to
you
already
.
Wild.
That
's
very
hard
,
when
I
am
scarce
knee-deep
with
her
:
't
is
true
,
I
have
given
her
hold
of
my
heart
,
but
if
she
take
not
heed
it
will
slip
through
her
fingers
.
Bell.
You
are
Prince
of
the
Soil
,
Sir
,
and
may
take
your
pleasure
when
you
please
;
but
I
am
the
Eve
to
your
Holy-day
,
and
must
fast
for
being
joyn'd
to
you
.
Wild.
Were
I
as
thou
art
,
I
would
content
my self
with
having
had
one
fair
flight
at
her
,
without
wearying
my self
on
the
wing
for
a
retrieve
;
for
when
all
's
done
the
Quarry
is
but
woman
.
Bell.
Thank
you
,
Sir
,
you
would
fly
'em
both
your self
,
and
while
I
turn
tail
,
we
should
have
you
come
gingling
with
your
bells
in
the
neck
of
my
Patridge
;
do
you
remember
who
incourag'd
me
to
love
,
and
promis'd
me
his
assistance
?
Wild.
I
,
while
there
was
hope
Frank
,
while
there
was
hope
;
but
there
's
no
contending
with
one's
destiny
.
Bell.
Nay
,
it
may
be
I
care
as
little
for
her
as
another
man
;
but
while
she
flyes
before
me
I
must
follow
:
I
can
leave
a
woman
sirst
with
ease
,
but
if
she
begins
to
fly
before
me
,
I
grow
opiniatre
as
the
Devil
.
Wild.
What
a
secret
have
you
found
out
?
why
't
is
the
nature
of
all
mankind
:
we
love
to
get
our
Mistresses
,
and
purr
over
'em
,
as
Cats
do
over
Mice
,
and
then
let
'em
go
a
little
way
;
and
all
the
pleasure
is
,
to
pat
'em
back
again
:
But
yours
,
I
take
it
,
Frank
,
is
gone
too
far
;
prethee
how
long
dost
thou
intend
to
love
at
this
rate
?
Bell.
Till
the
evil
constellation
be
past
over
me
:
yet
I
believe
it
would
hasten
my
recovery
if
I
knew
whom
she
lov'd
.
Mask
.
You
shall
not
be
long
without
that
satisfaction
.
Wild.
'
St
,
the
door
opens
;
and
two
women
are
coming
out
.
Bell.
By
their
stature
they
should
be
thy
gracious
Mistress
and
Beatrix
.
Wild.
Methinks
you
should
know
your
Q.
then
and
withdraw
.
Bell.
Well
,
I
'll
leave
you
to
your
fortune
;
but
if
you
come
to
close
fighting
,
I
shall
make
bold
to
run
in
and
part
you
.
Bellamy
and
Maskall
withdraw
.
Wild.
Yonder
she
comes
with
full
sails
i'faith
;
I
'll
hail
her
amain
for
England
.
Enter
Jacinta
and
Beatrix
at
the
other
end
of
the
Stage
.
Beat.
You
do
love
him
then
?
Jac.
Yes
,
most
vehemently
.
Beat.
But
set
some
bounds
to
your
affection
.
Jac.
None
but
fools
confine
their
pleasure
:
what
Usurer
ever
thought
his
Coffers
held
too
much
?
No
,
I
'll
give
my self
the
swinge
,
and
love
without
reserve
.
If
I
'll
keep
a
passion
,
I
'll
never
starve
it
in
my
service
.
Beat.
But
are
you
sure
he
will
deserve
this
kindness
?
Jac.
I
never
trouble
my self
so
long
beforehand
:
Jealousies
and
disquiets
are
the
dregs
of
an
amour
;
but
I
'll
leave
mine
before
I
have
drawn
it
off
so
low
:
when
it
once
grows
troubled
I
'll
give
vent
to
a
fresh
draught
.
Beat.
Yet
it
is
but
prudence
to
try
him
first
;
no
Pilot
ventures
on
an
unknown
Coast
without
sounding
.
Jac.
Well
,
to
satisfie
thee
I
am
content
;
partly
too
because
I
find
a
kind
of
pleasure
in
laying
baits
for
him
.
Beat.
The
two
great
vertues
of
a
Lover
are
constancy
and
liberality
;
if
he
profess
those
two
,
you
may
be
happy
in
him
.
Jac.
Nay
,
if
he
be
not
Lord
and
Master
of
both
those
qualities
I
disown
him
—
But
who
goes
there
?
Beat.
He
,
I
warrant
you
,
Madam
;
for
his
Servant
told
me
he
was
waiting
hereabout
.
Jac.
Watch
the
door
,
give
me
notice
if
any
come
.
Beat.
I
'll
secure
you
,
Madam
.
—
Exit
Beatrix
.
Jac.
to
Wild.
What
have
you
laid
an
ambush
for
me
?
Wild.
Only
to
make
a
Reprisal
of
my
heart
.
Jac.
'T
is
so
wild
,
that
the
Lady
who
has
it
in
her
keeping
,
would
be
glad
she
were
well
rid
on
't
:
it
does
so
flutter
about
the
Cage
.
'T
is
a
meer
Bajazet
;
and
if
it
be
not
let
out
the
sooner
,
will
beat
out
the
brains
against
the
Grates
.
Wild.
I
am
afraid
the
Lady
has
not
fed
it
,
and
't
is
wild
for
hunger
.
Jac.
Or
perhaps
it
wants
company
;
shall
she
put
another
to
it
?
Wild.
I
;
but
then
't
were
best
to
trust
'em
out
of
the
Cage
together
;
let
'em
hop
about
at
libertie
.
Jac.
But
if
they
should
lose
one
another
in
the
wide
world
.
Wild.
They
'll
meet
at
night
I
warrant
'
em
.
Jac.
But
is
not
your
heart
of
the
nature
of
those
Birds
that
breed
in
one
Countrie
,
and
goe
to
winter
in
another
?
Wild.
Suppose
it
does
so
;
yet
I
take
my
Mate
along
with
me
.
And
now
to
leave
our
parables
,
and
speak
in
the
language
of
the
vulgar
,
what
think
you
of
a
voyage
to
merry
England
?
Jac.
Just
as
Aesop's
Frog
did
,
of
leaping
into
a
deep
Well
in
a
drought
:
if
he
ventur'd
the
leap
,
there
might
be
water
;
but
if
there
were
no
water
,
how
should
he
get
out
again
?
Wild.
Faith
we
live
in
a
good
honest
Country
,
where
we
are
content
with
our
old
vices
,
partly
because
we
want
wit
to
invent
more
new
.
A
Colonie
of
Spaniards
,
or
spiritual
Italians
planted
among
us
would
make
us
much
more
racy
.
'T
is
true
,
our
variety
is
not
much
;
but
to
speak
nobly
of
our
way
of
living
,
't
is
like
that
of
the
Sun
,
which
rises
,
and
looks
upon
the
same
things
he
saw
yesterday
,
and
goes
to
bed
again
.
Jac.
But
I
hear
your
women
live
most
blessedly
;
there
's
no
such
thing
as
jealousie
among
the
Husbands
;
if
any
man
has
horns
,
he
bears
'em
as
loftily
as
a
Stag
,
and
as
inoffensively
.
Wild.
All
this
I
hope
gives
you
no
ill
Character
of
the
Country
.
Jac.
But
what
need
we
go
into
another
Climate
?
as
our
love
was
born
here
;
so
let
it
live
and
die
here
,
and
be
honestly
buried
in
its
native
Country
.
Wild.
Faith
agreed
with
all
my
heart
.
For
I
am
none
of
those
unreasonable
lovers
,
that
propose
to
themselves
the
loving
to
eternity
;
the
truth
is
,
a
month
is
commonly
my
stint
;
but
in
that
month
I
love
so
dreadfully
,
that
it
is
after
a
twelve-months
rate
of
common
love
.
Jac.
Or
would
not
a
fortnight
serve
our
turn
?
for
in
troth
a
month
looks
somewhat
dismally
;
't
is
a
whole
Aegyptian
year
,
if
a
Moon
changes
in
my
love
I
shall
think
my
Cupid
grown
dull
,
or
fallen
into
an
Apoplexie
.
Wild.
Well
,
I
pray
heaven
we
both
get
off
as
clear
as
we
imagine
;
for
my
part
I
like
your
humour
so
damnably
well
,
that
I
fear
I
am
in
for
a
week
longer
than
I
propos'd
;
I
am
half
afraid
your
Spanish
Planet
,
and
my
English
one
have
been
acquainted
,
and
have
found
out
some
by-room
or
other
in
the
12
houses
:
I
wish
they
have
been
honorable
.
Jac.
The
best
way
for
both
were
to
take
up
in
time
;
yet
I
am
afraid
our
forces
are
engag'd
so
far
,
that
we
must
make
a
battel
on
't
.
What
think
you
of
disobliging
one
another
from
this
day
forward
;
and
shewing
all
our
ill
humours
at
the
first
;
which
Lovers
use
to
keep
as
a
reserve
till
they
are
married
?
Wild.
Or
let
us
encourage
one
another
to
a
breach
by
the
dangers
of
possession
:
I
have
a
Song
to
that
purpose
.
Jac.
Pray
let
me
hear
it
:
I
hope
it
will
go
to
the
tune
of
one
of
our
Passa-calles
.
SONG
.
You
charm'd
me
not
with
that
fair
face
Though
it
was
all
divine
:
To
be
anothers
is
the
Grace
,
That
makes
me
wish
you
mine
.
The
Gods
and
Fortune
take
their
part
Who
like
young
Monarchs
fight
;
And
boldly
dare
invade
that
heart
Which
is
anothers
right
.
First
mad
with
hope
we
undertake
To
pull
up
every
barr
;
But
once
possess'd
,
we
faintly
make
A
dull
defensive
warr
.
Now
every
friend
is
turn'd
a
foe
In
hope
to
get
our
store
:
And
passion
makes
us
Cowards
grow
,
Which
made
us
brave
before
.
Jac.
Believe
it
,
Cavalier
,
you
are
a
dangerous
person
:
do
you
hold
forth
your
gifts
in
hopes
to
make
me
love
you
less
?
Wild.
They
would
signifie
little
,
if
we
were
once
married
:
those
gayeties
are
all
nipt
,
and
frost-bitten
in
the
Marriage-bed
,
i'faith
.
Jac.
I
am
sorry
to
hear
't
is
so
cold
a
place
:
but
't
is
all
one
to
us
who
do
not
mean
to
trouble
it
:
the
truth
is
,
your
humor
pleases
me
exceedingly
;
how
long
it
will
do
so
,
I
know
not
;
but
so
long
as
it
does
,
I
am
resolv'd
to
give
my self
the
content
of
seeing
you
.
For
if
I
should
once
constrain
my self
,
I
might
fall
in
love
in
good
earnest
:
but
I
have
stay'd
too
long
with
you
,
and
would
be
loth
to
surfeit
you
at
first
.
Wild.
Surfet
me
,
Madam
,
why
you
have
but
Tantaliz'd
me
all
this
while
.
Jac.
What
would
you
have
?
Wild.
A
hand
,
or
lip
,
or
any
thing
that
you
can
spare
;
when
you
have
Conjur'd
up
a
Spirit
he
must
have
some
employment
,
or
he
'll
tear
you
a
pieces
.
Jac.
Well
,
Here
's
my
Picture
;
to
help
your
contemplation
in
my
absence
.
Wild.
You
have
already
the
Original
of
mine
:
but
some
revenge
you
must
allow
me
:
a
Locket
of
Diamonds
,
or
some
such
trifle
,
the
next
time
I
kiss
your
hand
.
Jac.
Fie
,
fie
;
you
do
not
think
me
mercinary
!
yet
now
I
think
on
't
,
I
'll
put
you
into
our
Spanish
Mode
of
Love
:
our
Ladies
here
use
to
be
the
Banquiers
of
their
Servants
,
and
to
have
their
Gold
in
keeping
.
Wild.
This
is
the
least
trial
you
could
have
made
of
me
:
I
have
some
300
Pistols
by
me
;
those
I
'll
send
you
by
my
servant
.
Jac.
Confess
freely
;
you
mistrust
me
:
but
if
you
find
the
least
qualme
about
your
Gold
,
pray
keep
it
for
a
Cordial
.
Wild.
The
Cordial
must
be
apply'd
to
the
heart
,
and
mines
with
you
Madam
:
Well
;
I
say
no
more
;
but
these
are
dangerous
beginings
for
holding
on
:
I
find
my
moneth
will
have
more
then
one
and
thirty
dayes
in
't
.
Enter
Beatrix
running
.
Beat.
Madam
,
your
Father
calls
in
hast
for
you
;
and
is
looking
you
about
the
house
.
Jac.
Adieu
Servant
,
be
a
good
manager
of
your
stock
of
Love
,
that
it
may
hold
out
your
Moneth
;
I
am
afraid
you
'll
wast
so
much
of
it
before
to
morrow
night
,
that
you
'll
shine
but
with
a
quarter
Moon
upon
me
.
Wild.
It
shall
be
a
Crescent

Exit

Beatrix

stops

Pay
your

you

Prisoner

What
do
you
fight
after
the
French
Fashion
;
take
Towns
before
you
declare
a
Warr

I
should
be
glad
to
imitate

so
far

could
resist

Well

Deliver
up
your

cruel

Which

Ladies

and
which
of
your
Masters

For
I

we

Factors

both

them

How
dare
you
press
your
Mistress
to
an
inconvenience

Mask

My
Mistress
?
I
understand
not
that
language
;
the
fortune
of
the
Valet
ever
follows
that
of
the
Master
;
and
his
is
desperate
;
if
his
fate
were
alter'd
for
the
better
,
I
should
not
care
if
I
ventur'd
upon
you
for
the
worse

Beat.
I
have
told
you
already
Donna
Theodosia
loves
another

Mask

Has
he
no

Beat.
Let
it
suffice
he
is
born
noble
,
though
without
a
fortune
.
His
povertie
makes
him
conceal
his
love
from
her
Father
;
but
she
sees
him
every
night
in
private
:
and
to
blind
the
world
about
a
fortnight
agoe
,
he
took
a
solemn
leave
of
her

as
if
he
were

in

Bell.
Clear
,
dost
thou
say
?
no
't
is
full
of
Rocks
and
Quick-sands

yet
nothing
vexes
me
so
much
as
that
she
is
in
love
with
such
a
poor
Rogue

But
that
he
should
lodge
privately
in
the
same

!
't
was
odly
contriv'd
of
fortune

Bell.
Hang
him
Rogue

methinks
I
see
him
perching
like
an
Owle
by
day
,
and
not
daring
to
flutter
out
till
Moon-light
.
The
Rascal
invents
love
,
and
brews
his
complements
all
day
,
and
broaches
'em
at
night

just
as
some
of
our
dry
wits
do
their

Bell.
Nay
,
Madam
,
you
are
known
;
and
must
not
pass
till
I
have
spoke
with
you
.
Bellamy
lifts
up
Theodosia's
Vail
.
Theo.
This
rudeness
to
a
person
of
my
quality
may
cost
you
dear
.
Pray
when
did
I
give
you
encouragement
for
so
much
familiarity
?
Bell.
When
you
scorn'd
me
in
the
Chappel
.
Theo.
The
truth
is
,
I
deny'd
you
as
heartily
as
I
could
;
that
I
might
not
be
twice
troubled
with
you
.
Bell.
Yet
you
have
not
this
aversion
for
all
the
world
:
however
I
was
in
hope
though
the
day
frown'd
,
the
night
might
prove
as
propitious
to
me
as
it
is
to
others
.
Theo.
I
have
now
a
quarrell
both
to
the
Sun
and
Moon
,
because
I
have
seen
you
by
both
their
lights

Bell.
Spare
the
Moon
I
beseech
you
,
Madam

she
is
a
very
trusty

O

you
have
ruin'd
me

Dear
Sir

hold

Away

Theo.
Pray
,
Sir
,
expound
your
meaning
;
for
I
confess
I
am
in
the
dark

Bell.
Methinks
you
should
discover
it
by
Moon-light
.
Or
if
you
would
have
me
speak
clearer
to
you
,
give
me
leave
to
wait
on
you
at
a
midnight
assignation
;
and
that
it
may
not
be
discover'd
,
I
'll
feign
a
voyage
beyond

as
if
I
were
gone

Captaining

Ah
Beatrix
,
you
have
betray'd
and
sold
me

Beat.
You
have
betray'd
and
sold
your self
,
Madam
,
by
your
own
rashness
to
confess
it
;
Heaven
know's
I
have
serv'd
you
but
too
faithfully

Do
you

work
you

Let
her
see
what
she
has
got
by
slighting
me

You
had
best
let
Beatrix
be
turn'd
away
for
me
to
keep

if
you
do
,
I
know
whose
purse
shall
pay
for
't

That
's
a
curse
I
never
thought
on

cast
about
quickly

all

there

nothing
more

the
cold
Prophecies

of
what
nature
was
the
question
which
you
ask'd
him
?
Theo.
What
should
be
my
fortune
in
marriage

Alon.
And
,
pray
,
what
did
you
answer
,
Sir

I
answer'd
her
the
truth

that
she
is
in
danger
of
marrying
a
Gentleman
without
a
fortune

And
this

has

of
the

way

what
think

SONG
.
After
the
pangs
of
a
desperate
Lover
,
When
day
and
night
I
have
sigh'd
all
in
vain
,
Ah
what
a
pleasure
it
is
to
discover
In
her
eyes
pity
,
who
causes
my
pain
!
2.
When
with
unkindness
our
love
at
a
stand
is
,
And
both
have
punish'd
our selves
with
the
pain
,
Ah
what
a
pleasure
the
touch
of
her
hand
is
,
Ah
what
a
pleasure
to
press
it
again
!
3.
When
the
denyal
comes
fainter
and
fainter
,
,
And
her
eyes
give
what
her
tongue
does
deny
,
Ah
what
a
trembling
I
feel
when
I
venture
,
Ah
what
a
trembling
does
usher
my
joy
!
4.
When
,
with
a
Sigh
,
she
accords
me
the
blessing
,
And
her
eyes
twinkle
'twixt
pleasure
and
pain
;
Ah
what
a
joy
't
is
beyond
all
expressing
,
Ah
what
a
joy
to
hear
,
shall
we
again
!

Damn

let

fall

The
two

the

the

So
,
all
's
past

and
I
am
safe
:
a
pox
on
these
fighting
Masters
of
mine
,
to
bring
me
into
this
danger
with
their
valours
and
magnanimities

When
I
go

'll

Who
goes
there
?

'T
is
Don
Lopez
by
his
voice
.
Lop.
The
same
;
and
by
yours
you
should
belong
to
my
two
English
Ghests
.
Did
you
hear
no
tumult
hereabouts
?
Mask
.
I
heard
a
clashing
of
swords
,
and
men
a
fighting
Lop.
I
had
my
share
in
't
;
but
how
came
you
here
:
Mask
.
I
came
hither
by
my
Masters
order
to
see
if
you
were
in
any
danger
.
Lop.
But
how
could
he
imagine
I
was
in
any
?
Mask
.
'T
is
all
one
for
that
,
Sir
,
he
knew
it
,
by
—
Heaven
,
what
was
I
agoing
to
say
,
I
had
like
to
have
disover'd
all
!
Lop.
I
find
there
is
some
secret
in
't
;
and
you
dare
not
trust
me
.
Mask
.
If
you
will
swear
on
your
honor
to
be
very
secret
,
I
will
tell
you
.
Lop.
As
I
am
a
Cavalier
,
and
by
my
Beard
,
I
will.
Mask
.
Then
,
in
few
words
,
he
knew
it
by
Astrologie
,
or
Magick
.
Lop.
You
amaze
me
!
Is
he
conversant
in
the
occult
Sciences
?
Mask
.
Most
profoundly
.
Lop.
I
alwayes
thought
him
an
extraordinary
person
;
but
I
could
never
imagine
his
head
lay
that
way
.
Mask
.
He
shew'd
me
yesterday
in
a
glass
a
Ladies
Maid
at
London
,
whom
I
well
knew
;
and
with
whom
I
us'd
to
converse
on
a
Pallet
in
a
drawing-room
,
while
he
was
paying
his
devotions
to
her
Lady
in
the
Bed-chamber
.
Lop.
Lord
,
what
a
treasure
for
a
State
were
here
!
and
how
much
might
we
save
by
this
man
,
in
Forreign
Intelligence
!
Mask
.
And
just
now
he
shew'd
me
how
you
were
assaulted
in
the
dark
by
Foreigners
.
Lop.
Could
you
guess
what
Countrymen
?
Mask
.
I
imagin'd
them
to
be
Italians
.
Lop.
Not
unlikely
;
for
they
play'd
most
furiously
at
our
back-sides
.
Mask
.
I
will
return
to
my
Master
with
the
good
news
of
your
safety
;
but
once
again
be
secret
;
or
disclose
it
to
none
but
friends
.
—
—
So
,
there
's
one
Woodcock
more
in
the
Springe
.
—
Exit
.
Lop.
Yes
,
I
will
be
very
secret
;
for
I
will
tell
it
only
to
one
person
;
but
she
is
a
woman
.
I
will
to
Aurelia
,
and
acquaint
her
with
the
skill
of
this
rare
Artist
:
she
is
curious
as
all
women
are
;
and
,
't
is
probable
,
will
desire
to
look
into
the
Glass
to
see
Don
Melchor
,
whom
she
believes
absent
.
So
that
by
this
means
,
without
breaking
my
oath
to
him
,
he
will
be
discover'd
to
be
in
Town
.
Then
his
intrigue
with
Theodosia
will
come
to
light
too
,
for
which
Aurelia
will
,
I
hope
,
discard
him
,
and
receive
me
.
I
will
about
it
instantly
:
Success
,
in
love
,
on
diligence
depends
;
No
lazie
Lover
e're
attain'd
his
ends

THen

were
certainly
Don
Lopez
and
Don
Mel-Melchor
with
whom
we
fought
!
Mask
.
Yes
,
Sir.
Bell.
And
when
you
met
Lopez
he
swallow'd
all
you
told
him
?
Mask
.
As
greedily
,
as
if
it
had
been
a
new
Saints
miracle

Bell.

see

And
the
fame
of
it
will
be

use
to
you
in
your
next
amour
:
for
the
women

know
run
mad
after
Fortune-tellers
and
Preachers
.
Bell.
But
for
all
my
bragging
this
amour
is
not
yet
worn
off
.
I
find
constancy
,
and
once
a
night
come
naturally
upon
a
man
towards
thirty
:
only
we
set
a
face
on
't
;
and
call
our selves
unconstant
for
our
reputation
.
Mask
.
But
,
What
say
the
Starrs
,
Sir
?
Bell.
They
move
faster
than
you
imagine
;
for
I
have
got
me
an
Argol
,
and
an
English-Almanack
;
by
help
of
which
in
one
half-hour
I
have
learnt
to
Cant
with
an
indifferent
good
grace
:
Conjunction
,
Opposition
,
Trine
,
Square
and
Sextile
,
are
now
no
longer
Bug-bears
to
me
,
I
thank
my
Starrs
for
't
.
Enter
Wildblood

—
Monsieur
Wildblood
,
in
good
time
!
What
,
you
have
been
taking
pains
too
,
to
divulge
my
Tallent
?
Wild.
So
successfully
,
that
shortly
there
will
be
no
talk
in
Town
but
of
you
onely
:
another
Miracle
or
two
,
and
a
sharp
Sword
,
and
you
stand
fair
for
a
New
Prophet
.
Bell.
But
where
did
you
begin
to
blow
the
Trumpet
.
Wild.
In
the
Gaming-house
:
where
I
found
most
of
the
Town-wits
;
the
Prose-wits
playing
,
and
the
Verse-wits
cooking
.
Bell.
All
sorts
of
Gamesters
are
so
Superstitious
,
that
I
need
not
doubt
of
my
reception
there
.
Wild.
From
thence
I
went
to
the
latter
end
of
a
Comedy
,
and
there
whisper'd
it
to
the
next
Man
I
knew
who
had
a
Woman
by
him
.
Mask
.
Nay
,
then
it
went
like
a
Train
of
Powder
,
if
once
they
had
it
by
the
end
.
Wild.
Like
a
Squib
upon
a
Line
,
i'faith
,
it
ran
through
one
row
,
and
came
back
upon
me
in
the
next
:
at
my
going
out
I
met
a
knot
of
Spaniards
,
who
were
formally
listening
to
one
who
was
relating
it
:
but
he
told
the
Story
so
ridiculously
,
with
his
Marginal
Notes
upon
it
,
that
I
was
forc'd
to
contradict
him
.
Bell.
'T
was
discreetly
done
.
Wild.
I
,
for
you
,
but
not
for
me
:
What
,
sayes
he
,
must
such
Boracho's
as
you
,
take
upon
you
to
villifie
a
Man
of
Science
?
I
tell
you
,
he
's
of
my
intimate
Acquaintance
,
and
I
have
known
him
long
,
for
a
prodigious
person
—
When
I
saw
my
Don
so
fierce
,
I
thought
it
not
wisdom
to
quarrel
for
so
slight
a
matter
as
you
Reputation
,
and
so
withdrew
.
Bell.
A
pox
of
your
success
!
now
shall
I
have
my
Chamber
besieg'd
to
morrow
morning
:
there
will
be
no
stiring
out
for
me
;
but
I
must
be
fain
to
take
up
their
Questions
in
a
cleft-Cane
,
or
a
Begging-box
,
as
they
do
Charity
in
Prisons
.
Wild.
Faith
,
I
cannot
help
what
your
Learning
has
brought
you
to
:
Go
in
and
study
;
I
foresee
you
will
have
but
few
Holy-dayes
:
in
the
mean
time
I
'll
not
fail
to
give
the
World
an
account
of
your
indowments
.
Fare-well
:
I
'll

the
Gaming
house

Exit

O

Sir
,
here
is
the
rarest
adventure

and
which
is
more
,
come
home
to
you

Bell.
What
is
it
?
Mask
.
A
fair
Lady
and
her
Woman
,
wait
in
the
outer
Room
to
speak
with
you
.
Bell.
But
how
know
you
she
is
fair
?
Mask
.
Her
Woman
pluck'd
up
her
Vaile
when
she
spake
to
me
;
so
that
having
seen
her
this
evening
,
I
know
her
Mistress
to
be
Donna
Aurelia
,
Cousin
to
your
Mistress
Theodosia
,
and
who
lodges
in
the
same
House
with
her
:
she
wants
a
Starr
or
two
I
warrant
you
.
Bell.
My
whole
Constellation
is
at
her
service
:
but
what
is
she
for
a
Woman
?
Mask
.
Fair
enough
,
as
Beatrix
has
told
me
;
but
sufficiently
impertinent
.
She
is
one
of
those
Ladies
who
make
ten
Visits
in
an
afternoon
;
and
entertain
her
they
see
,
with
speaking
ill
of
the
last
from
whom
they
parted
:
in
few
words
,
she
is
one
of
the
greatest
Coquette's
in
Madrid
:
and
to
show
she
is
one
,
she
cannot
speak
ten
words
without
some
affected
phrase
that
is
in
fashion
.
Bell.
For
my
part
I
can
suffer
any
impertinence
from
a
woman
,
provided
she
be
handsome
:
my
business
is
with
her
Beauty
,
not
with
her
Morals
:
let
her
Confessor
look
to
them

Mask

I
wonder
what
she
has
to
say
to
you
?
Bell.
I
know
not
;
but
I
sweat
for
fear
I
should
be
gravell'd
.
Mask

Venture
out
of
your
depth
,
and
plunge
boldly
Sir
;
I
warrant
you
will
swimm

Do
not
leave

charge

I
look
mournfully

me

I
believe

you
wonder

be
excus'd

waving
a
little

You
might
spare

the
shame

If
I
know

't
is
in
vain

therefore

your

satisfaction
lay
them
open
without
bashfulness

Aur.
I
beseech
you
let
us
pass
over
that
chapter

for
I
am
shamefac'd

the
last
point

Since
therefore
I
cannot
put
off
my
modesty

succour
it

and
tell
me
what
I
think

Bell.
Madam

Madam

that
bashfulness
must
be
laid
aside

not

unfold
it

Favour
me
so
far

I
beseech
you

for
I
furiously

But
then
I
must
call
up
before
you
a
most
dreadful
Spirit

with
head

and
horns

therefore
consider
how
you
can
endure
it

rather

Aur.
I
espouse
the
crime
also
.
Bell.
I
see
when
a
woman
has
a
mind
to
't
,
she
'll
never
boggle
at
a
sin
.
Pox
on
her
,
what
shall
I
do
?
—
Well
,
I
'll
tell
you
your
thoughts
,
Madam
;
but
after
that
expect
no
farther
service
from
me
;
for
't
is
your
confidence
must
make
my
Art
succesful
:
—
Well
,
you
are
obstinate
,
then
;
I
must
tell
you
your
thoughts
?
Aur.
Hold
,
hold
,
Sir
,
I
am
content
to
pass
over
that
chapter
rather
than
be
depriv'd
of
your
assistance
.
Bell.
'T
is
very
well
;
what
need
these
circumstances
between
us
two
?
Confess
freely
,
is
not
love
your
business
?
Aur.
You
have
touch'd
me
to
the
quick
,
Sir.
Bell.
La
you
there
;
you
see
I
knew
it
;
nay
,
I
'll
tell
you
more
,
't
is
a
man
you
love
.
Au.
O
prodigious
Science
!
I
confess
I
love
a
man
most
furiously
,
to
the
last
point
,
Sir.
Bell.
Now
proceed
Lady
,
your
way
is
open
;
I
am
resolv'd
I
'll
not
tell
you
a
word
farther
.
Aur.
Well
,
then
,
since
I
must
acquaint
you
with
what
you
know
much
better
than
my self
;
I
will
tell
you
I
lov'd
a
Cavalier
,
who
was
noble
,
young
,
and
handsome
;
this
Gentleman
is
since
gone
for
Flanders
;
now
whether
he
has
preserv'd
his
passion
inviolate
or
not
,
is
that
which
causes
my
inquietude
.
Bell.
Trouble
not
your self
,
Madam
;
he
's
as
constant
as
a
Romance
Heros
.
Aur.
Sir
,
your
good
news
has
ravish'd
most
furiously
;
but
that
I
may
have
a
confirmation
of
it
,
I
beg
only
,
that
you
would
lay
your
commands
upon
his
Genius
,
or
Idea
,
to
appear
to
me
this
night
,
that
I
may
have
my
sentence
from
his
mouth
.
This
,
Sir
,
I
know
is
a
slight
effect
of
your
Science
,
and
yet
will
infinitely
oblige
me
.
Bell.
What
the
Devil
does
she
call
a
slight
effect
!
[
aside
]
Why
Lady
,
do
you
consider
what
you
say
?
you
desire
me
to
shew
you
a
man
whom
your self
confess
to
be
in
Flanders
.
Aur.
To
view
him
in
a
glass
is
nothing
,
I
would
speak
with
him
in
person
,
I
mean
his
Idea
,
Sir.
Bell.
I
but
Madam
,
there
is
a
vast
sea
betwixt
us
and
Flanders
;
and
water
is
an
enemy
to
Conjuration
:
A
witches
horse
you
know
,
when
he
enters
into
water
,
returns
into
a
bottle
of
hay
again
.
Aur.
But
,
Sir
,
I
am
not
so
ill
a
Geographer
,
or
to
speak
more
properly
,
a
Chorographer
,
as
not
to
know
there
is
a
passage
by
land
from
hence
to
Flanders
.
Bell.
That
's
true
,
Madam
,
but
Magick
works
in
a
direct
line
.
Why
should
you
think
the
Devil
such
an
Ass
to
goe
about
?
'
gad
he
'll
not
stir
a
step
out
of
his
road
for
you
or
any
man.
Aur.
Yes
,
for
a
Lady
,
Sir
;
I
hope
he
's
a
person
that
wants
not
that
civility
for
a
Lady
:
especially
a
spirit
that
has
the
honor
to
belong
to
you
,
Sir.
Bell.
For
that
matter
he
's
your
Servant
,
Madam
;
but
his
education
has
been
in
the
fire
,
and
he
's
naturally
an
enemy
to
water
I
assure
you
.
Aur.
I
beg
his
pardon
for
forgetting
his
Antipathy
;
but
it
imports
not
much
,
Sir
;
for
I
have
lately
receiv'd
a
letter
from
my
Servant
,
that
he
is
yet
in
Spain
;
and
stays
for
a
wind
in
St.
Sebastians
.
Bell.
Now
I
am
lost
past
all
redemption
.
—
Maskall
—
must
you
be
smickering
after
Wenches
while
I
am
in
calamity
?
[

It
must
be
he
,
I
'll
venture
on
't

[

Alas
Sir
,
I
was
complaining
to
my self
of
the
condition
of
poor
Don
Melchor
,
who
you
know
is
windbound
at
St.
Sebastians
.
Bell.
Why
you
impudent
Villain
,
must
you
offer
to
name
him
publickly
,
when
I
have
taken
so
much
care
to
conceal
him
all
this
while
?
Aur.
Mitigate
your
displeasure
I
beseech
you
;
and
without
making
farther
testimony
of
it
,
gratifie
my
expectances
.
Bell.
Well
,
Madam
,
since
the
Sea
hinders
not
,
you
shall
have
your
desire
.
Look
upon
me
with
a
fix'd
eye
—
so
—
or
a
little
more
amorously
if
you
please
.
—
Good.
Now
favour
me
with
your
hand
.
Aur.
Is
it
absolutely
necessary
you
should
press
my
hand
thus
?
Bell.
Furiously
necessary
,
I
assure
you
,
Madam
;
for
now
I
take
possession
of
it
in
the
name
of
the
Idea
of
Don
Melchor
.
Now
,
Madam
,
I
am
farther
to
desire
of
you
,
to
write
a
Note
to
his
Genius
,
wherein
you
desire
him
to
appear
,
and
this
,
we
Men
of
Art
,
call
a
Compact
with
the
Idea's
.

tremble
furiously

Bell.

me
your

I
'll

it

Cam.
Now
,
Lady
mine
,
what
think
you
of
my
Master
?
Cam.
I
think
I
would
not
serve
him
for
the
world
:
nay
,
if
he
can
know
our
thoughts
by
looking
on
us
,
we
women
are
hypocrites
to
little
purpose
.
Mask
.
He
can
do
that
and
more
;
for
by
casting
his
eyes
but
once
upon
them
,
he
knows
whether
they
are
Maids
,
better
than
a
whole
Jury
of
Midwives
.
Cam.
Now
Heaven
defend
me
from
him
.
Mask
.
He
has
a
certain
small
Familiar
which
he
carries
still
about
him
,
that
never
fails
to
make
discovery
.
Cam.
See
,
they
have
done
writing
;
not
a
word
more
,
for
fear
he
knows
my
voice
.
Bell.
One
thing
I
had
forgot
,
Madam
,
you
must
subscribe
your
name
to
't

Aur.
There
't
is
;
farewell
Cavalier
,
keep
your
promise
,
for
I
expect
it
furiously

Cam.
If
he
sees
me
I
am
undone

Ah

Bell.
You

your

in
vain

for
I

into
your

Cam.
Then
,
sweet
Sir
,
have
pity
on
my
srailty
;
for
if
my
Lady
has
the
least
inkling
of
what
we
did
last
night
,
the
poor
Coachman

be
turn'd

Well

Sir
,

your
New
Profession

Bell.
Would
I
were
well

I
sweat
all
over

Mask

But
what
faint-hearted
Devils
yours
are
that
will
not
go
by
water
?
Are
they
all
Lancashire
Devils
,
of
the
brood
of
Tybert
and
Grimalkin
,
that
they
dare
not
wet
their
feet
?
Bell.
Mine
are
honest
land
Devils
,

Posts

that
beat
upon
the
hoof
for
me
:
but
to
save
their
labour
,
here
take
this
,
and
in
some
disguise
deliver
it
to
Don
Melchor

I
'll
serve
it
upon
him
within
this
hour
,
when
he
sallyes
out
to
his
assignation
with
Theodosia
:
't
is
but
counterfeiting
my
voice
a
little
;
for
he
cannot
know
me
in
the
dark
.
But
let
me
see
,
what
are
the
words
?
Reads
.
Don
Melchor
,
if
the
Magique
of
love
have
any
power
upon
your
spirit
,
I
conjure
you
to
appear
this
night
before
me
:
you
may
guess
the
greatness
of
my
passion
,
since
it
has
forc'd
me
to
have
recourse
to
Art
:
but
no
shape
which
resembles
you
can
fright
Aurelia
.
Bell.
Well
,
I
am
glad
there
's
one
point
gain'd
;
for
by
this
means
he
will
be
hindred
to
night
from
entertaining
Theodosia
.
—
Pox
on
him
,
is
he
here
again
?
Enter
Don
Alonzo
.
Alon.
Cavalier
Ingles
I
have
been
seeking
you
:
I
have
a
Present
in
my
Pocket
for
you
;
read
it
by
your
Art
and
take
it
.
Bell.
That
I
could
do
easily
;
—
but
to
shew
you
I
am
generous
,
I
'll
none
of
your
Present
;
do
you
think
I
am
mercenary
?
Alon.
I
know
you
will
say
now
't
is
some
Astrological
question
,
and
so
't
is
perhaps
.
Bell.
I
,
't
is
the
Devil
of
a
question
without
dispute
.
Alon.
No
't
is
within
dispute
:
't
is
a
certain
difficulty
in
the
Art
;
a
Problem
which
you
and
I
will
discuss
,
with
the
arguments
on
both
sides
,
Bell.
At
this
time
I
am
not
problematically
given
;
I
have
a
humour
of
complaisance
upon
me
,
and
will
contradict
no
man.
Alon.
We
'll
but
discuss
a
little
.
Bell.
By
your
favour
I
'll
not
discusse
;
for
I
see
by
the
Stars
that
if
I
Dispute
to
day
,
I
am
infallibly
threatned
to
be
thought
ignorant
all
my
life
after
.
Alon.
Well
,
then
,
we
'll
but
cast
an
eye
together
,
upon
my
eldest
Daughters
Nativity
.
Bell.
Nativity

Alon.
I
know
what
you
would
say
now

that
there
wants
the
Table
of
Direction
for
the
five
Hylegiacalls
;
the
Ascendant
,
Medium
Coeli
,
Sun
,
Moon
,
and
Sors
:
but
we
'll
take
it
as
it
is
.
Bell.
Never
tell
me
that
,
Sir
—
Alon.
I
know
what
you
would
say
again

Sir

Bell.
I
say

Sir

there
is
no
doing
without
the
Sun

Moon

all
that

Sir.
And
so
you
may
make
use
of
your
Paper

Don
Alonzo
in
my
house

this
is
a
most
happy
opportunity
to
put
my
other
design
in
execution
;
for
if
I
can
perswade
him
to
bestow
his
Daughter
on
Don
Melchor

shall
serve
my
Friend

though
against
his
will
:
and
,
when
Aurelia
sees
she
cannot
be
his
,
perhaps
she
will
accept
my
Love.

Alonzo

I
know
what
you
would
say

Alon.
It
needs
not

house

all
things
in
it

No
matter

let
him
go

I
have
long
desir'd
this
opportunity
to
move
a
Sute
to
you
in
the
behalf

if
you
please
to
allow
me
the
hearing

Alon.
With
all
my
heart

Sir.
Lop.
He
is
a
person
of
worth
and
vertue

and
is
infinitely
ambitious
of
the
honour
—
Alon.
Of
being
known
to
me
;
I
understand
you
,
Sir.
Lop.
If
you
will
please
to
favour
me
with
your
patience

which
I
beg
of
you
a
second
time

I
was

speak
one
Syllable
more

Devil
take
me
:
speak
when
you
please

going

Sir

need
not

twice

silent

take
it
somewhat
ill
of
you

be
tutor'd

mad

do

long
must
a
man
wait
for
you

an
end
of
what
you
have
to
say
quickly

that
I
may
speak
in
my
turn
too

Cavalier
is

Love

told
me
that
before

Sir
;

you
speak
Oracles
that
you
require
this
strict
attention
?
either
let
me
share

talk
with

never
have
done

long
enough

next
of

another

Well

now
I

being
thus
incognita

for

Gallantry

Sir
,
the
Ladies
have
commanded
me
to
tell
you
,
that
they
are
willing
,
before

Play
,
to
present
you
with
a
Dance
;
and
to
give
you
an
Essay
of
their
Guittars

much
honor
me

A
DANCE

After
the
Dance

take
the
Ladies
and
Court
them
.
Wildblood
takes
Jacinta
;
Wild.
While
you
have
been
Singing
,
Lady
,
I
have
been
Praying
:
I
mean
,
that
your
Face
and
Wit
may
not
prove
equal
to
your
Dancing
;
for
,
if
they
be
,
there
's
a
heart
gone
astray
to
my
knowledge
.
Jac.
If
you
pray
against
me
before
you
have
seen
me
,
you
'll
curse
me
when
you
have
look'd
on
me
.
Wild.
I
believe
I
shall
have
cause
to
do
so
,
if
your
Beauty
be
as
killing
as
I
imagine
it
.
Jac.
'T
is
true
,
I
have
been
flatter'd
in
my
own
Country
,
with
an
opinion
of
a
little
handsomness
;
but
,
how
it
will
pass
in
Spain
is
a
question
.
Wild.
Why
Madam
,
Are
you
not
of
Spain
?
Jac.
No
,
Sir
,
of
Marocco
:
I
onely
came
hither
to
see
some
of
my
Relations
who
are
setled
here
,
and
turn'd
Christians
,
since
the
expulsion
of
my
Countrymen
the
Moors
.
Wild.
Are
you
then
a
Mahometan
?
Jac.
A
Musullman
at
your
service
.
Wild.
A
Musullwoman
say
you
?
I
protest
by
your
voice
I
should
have
taken
you
for
a
Christian
Lady
of
my
acquaintance
.
Jac.
It
seems
you
are
in
love
then
:
if
so
,
I
have
done
with
you
.
I
dare
not
invade
the
Dominions
of
another
Lady
;
especially
in
a
Country
where
my
Ancestors
have
been
so
unfortunate
.
Wild.
Some
little
liking
I
might
have
,
but
that
was
onely
a
morning-dew
,
't
is
drawn
up
by
the
Sun-shine
of
your
Beauty
:
I
find
your
African-Cupid
is
a
much
surer
Archer
then
ours
of
Europe
.
Yet
would
I
could
see
you
;
one
look
would
secure
your
victory
.
Jac.
I
'll
reserve
my
Face
to
gratifie
your
imagination
with
it
,
make
what
head
you
please
,
and
set
it
on
my
Shoulders
.
Wild.
Well
,
Madam
,
an
eye
,
a
nose
,
or
a
lip
shall
break
no
squares
:
the
Face
is
but
a
spans
breadth
of
beauty
;
and
where
there
is
so
much
besides
,
I
'll
never
stand
with
you
for
that
.
Jac.
But
,
in
earnest
,
Do
you
love
me
?
Wild.
I
,
by
Alha
do
I
,
most
extreamly
:
you
have
Wit
in
abundance
,
you
Dance
to
a
Miracle
,
you
Sing
like
an
Angel
,
and
I
believe
you
look
like
a
Cherubim
.
Jac.
And
can
you
be
constant
to
me
?
Wild.
By
Mahomet
,
can
I.
Jac.
You
Swear
like
a
Turk
,
Sir
;
but
,
take
heed
:
for
our
Prophet
is
a
severe
punisher
of
Promise-breakers
.
Wild.
Your
Prophet's
a
Cavalier
;
I
honour
your
Prophet
and
his
Law
,
for
providing
so
well
for
us
Lovers
in

other
World

Eyes

go
thy
way

i'faith
thou
shalt
have
my
good
word

But
,
by
his
favour
Lady
,
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
that
we
of
the
Uncircumcised
,
in
a
civil
way
,
as
Lovers
,
have
somewhat
the
advantage
of
your
Musullman

Jac.

Company

rejoyn'd

set

we
must
go

bestow
it

Jac.

Have

Dice

I
got

Jac.
You

and
when
I
have
done

I
'll
return
in
my
own
person
,
and
ask
him
for
the
money
which
he
promis'd
me

Beat.
'T
will
put

notice

concernment

Wild.
'T
is
no
matter

I
do
not
love
to
fret
inwardly
,
as
your
silent
losers
do
,
and
in
the
mean
time
be
ready
to
choak
for
want
of
vent

Pray
consider
your
condition

little

a
younger
Brother
in
a
foreign
Country

living
at
a
high
rate
,
your
money
lost

and
without
hope
of

supply

Now
curse
if
you
think
good
.
Wild.
No

now
I
will
laugh
at
my self
most
unmercifully

for
my
condition
is
so
ridiculous
that
't
is
past
cursing

The
pleasantest
part

adventure

that

[
aside

Jac.
I
was
told
you
had
Ladies
here
and
fiddles
;
so
I
came
partly
for
the
divertisement
,
and
partly
out
of
jealousie
.
Wild.
Jealousie
!
why
sure
you
do
not
think
me

Pagan
,
an
Infidel
?
But
the
company
's
broke
up
you
see

Am
I
to
wait
upon

be
so
kind

a
hard
lodging
with

the
honor

Father's

more
words

away

For
my
part

think

has
a
mind
to
be
rid
of
you

No

but
if
your
Lady
should
want
sleep
,
't
would
spoil
the
lustre
of
her
eyes
to
morrow

There
were
a
Conquest
lost

Jac.
I
am
a
peaceable
Princess

and
content
with
my
own
;
I
mean
your
heart
,
and
purse
;
for
the
truth
is
,
I
have
lost
my
money
to
night
in
Masquerade
,
and
am
come
to
claim
your
promise
of
supplying
me

make
me
happy
by
commanding
me
:
to
morrow
morning
my
servant
shall
wait
upon
you
with
300
pistols

Jac.
But
I
left
my
company
with
promise
to
return
to
play

on
tick

and
lose
the
Indies

discharge
it
all

rascall

how
he
stares

'll
be
hang'd
if
he
have
not
lost
my
gold
at
play

if
you
have
,
confess
you
had
best
,
and
perhaps
I
'll
pardon
you
;
but
if
you
do
not
confess
I
'll
have
no
mercy
:
did
you
lose
it
?
Mask

Sir
,
't
is
not
for
me
to
dispute
with
you
.
Wild.
Why
then
let
me
tell
you
,
you
did
lose
it
.
Jac.
I
,
as
sure
as
e're
he
had
it
,
I
dare
swear
for
him
:
but
commend
to
you
for
a
kind
Master
,
that
can
let
your
Servant
play
off
300
pistols
,
without
the
least
sign
of
anger
to
him
.
Beat.
'T
is
a
sign
he
has
a
greater
banck
in
store
to
comfort
him
.
Wild.
Well
,
Madam
,
I
must
confess
I
have
more
then
I
will
speak
of
at
this
time
;
but
till
you
have
given
me
satisfaction
—
Jac.
Satisfaction
;
why
are
you
offended
,
Sir
?
Wild.
Heaven
!
that
you
should
not
perceive
it
in
me
:
I
tell
you
I
am
mortally
offended
with
you
.
Jac.
Sure
't
is
impossible
.
Wild.
You
have
done
nothing
I
warrant
to
make
a
man
jealous
:
going
out
a
gaming
in
Masquerade
,
at
unseasonable
hours
,
and
losing
your
money
,
at
play
;
that
loss
above
all
provokes
me
.
Beat.
I
believe
you
;
because
she
comes
to
you
for
more
.
[
Aside
.
]
Jac.
Is
this
the
quarrel
?
I
'll
clear
it
immediately
.
Wild.
'T
is
impossible
you
should
clear
it
;
I
'll
stop
my
ears
if
you
but
offer
it
.
There
's
no
satisfaction
in
the
point
.
Jac.
You
'll
hear
me
?
—
Wild.
To
do
this
in
the
beginning
of
an
amour
,
and
to
a
jealous
servant
as
I
am
;
had
I
all
the
wealth
of
Peru
,
I
would
not
let
go
one
Maravedis
to
you
.
Jac.
To
this
I
answer
—
Wild.
Answer
nothing
,
for
it
will
but
inflame
the
quarrel
betwixt
us
:
I
must
come
to
my self
by
little
and
little
;
and
when
I
am
ready
for
satisfaction
I
will
take
it
:
but
at
present
it
is
not
for
my
honor
to
be
friends
.
Beat.
Pray
let
us
neighbour
Princes
interpose
a
little
.
Wild.
When
I
have
conquer'd
,
you
may
interpose
;
but
at
present
the
mediation
of
all
Christendome
would
be
fruitless
.
Jac.
Though
Christendome
can
do
nothing
with
you
,
yet
I
hope
an
African
may
prevail
.
Let
me
beg
you
for
the
sake
of
the
Lady
Fatyma
.
Wild.
I
begin
to
suspect
that
Lady
Fatyma
is
no
better
than
she
should
be
.
If
she
be
turn'd
Christian
again
I
am
undone
.
Jac.
By
Alha
I
am
afraid
on
't
too
:
By
Mahomet
I
am
.
Wild.
Well
,
well
,
Madam
,
any
man
may
be
overtaken
with
an
oath
;
but
I
never
meant
to
perform
it
with
her
:
you
know
no
oathes
are
to
be
kept
with
Infidels
.
But
—
—
—
Jac.
No
,
the
love
you
made
was
certainly
a
design
of
charitie
you
had
to
reconcile
the
two
Religions
.
There
's
scarce
such
another
man
in
Europe
to
be
sent
Apostle
to
convert
the
Moor
Ladies
.
Wild.
Faith
I
would
rather
widen
their
breaches
then
make
'em
up
.
Jac.
I
see
there
's
no
hope
of
a
reconcilement
with
you
;
and
therefore
I
give
it
o're
as
desperate
.
Wild.
You
have
gain'd
your
point
,
you
have
my
money
;
and
I
was
only
angry
because
I
did
not
know
't
was
you
who
had
it
.
Jac.
This
will
not
serve
your
turn
,
Sir
;
what
I
have
got
I
have
conquer'd
from
you
.
Wild.
Indeed
you
use
me
like
one
that
's
conquer'd
;
for
you
have
plunder'd
me
of
all
I
had
.
Jac.
I
only
difarm'd
you
for
fear
you
should
rebell
again
;
for
if
you
had
the
sinews
of
warr
I
am
sure
you
would
be
flying
out
.
Wild.
Dare
but
to
stay
without
a
new
Servant
till
I
am
flush
again
,
and
I
will
love
you
,
and
treat
you
,
and
present
you
at
that
unreasonable
rate
;
that
I
will
make
you
an
example
to
all
unbelieving
Mistresses
.
Jac.
Well
,
I
will
trie
you
once
more
;
but
you
must
make
haste
then
,
that
we
may
be
within
our
time
;
methinks
our
love
is
drawn
out
so
subtle
already
,
that
't
is
near
breaking
.
Wild.
I
will
have
more
care
of
it
on
my
part
,
than
the
kindred
of
an
old
Pope
have
to
preserve
him
.
Jac.
Adieu
;
for
this
time
I
wipe
off
your
score
.
Till
you
're
caught
tripping
in
some
new
amour
.

You
have
us'd
me
very
kindly
,
Sir
,
I
thank
you
.
Wild.
You
deserv'd
it
for
not
having
a
lye
ready
for
my
occasions
.
A
good
Servant
should
be
no
more
without
it
,
than
a
Souldier
without
his
armes

But
prethee
advise
me
what
's
to
be
done
to
get
Jacinta

You
have
lost
her
,
or
will
lose
her
by
your
submitting
:
if
we
men
could
but
learn
to
value
our selves
,
we
should
soon
take
down
our
Mistresses
from
all
their
Altitudes
,
and
make
'em
dance
after
our
Pipes
,
longer
perhaps
than
we
had
a
mind
to
't
.

But
I
must
make
haste
,
or
I
shall
lose
Don
Melchor

Wild.
Call
Bellamy

we
'll
both
be

thy
enterprise

then
I
'll

more

my
small
stock
,
for
my
last
refuge
:
if
I
win
,
I
have
wherewithall
to
mollifie
Jacinta
.
If
I
throw
out
I
'll
bear
it
off
with

And

I
stay'd

by
express
order
from
the

to
deliver
you
this
Note

and
to
desire
you
from
her
to
meet
her
immediately
in

Do

hear

Not

Sir

I
have
perform'd

Mel.
He
's
gone
;
and
't
is
in
vain
for
me
to
look
after
him
.
What
envious
Devil
has
discover'd
to
Aurelia
that
I
am
in
Town
?
it
must
be
Don
Lopez
,
who
to
advance
his
own
pretentensions
to
her
,
has
endeavour'd
to
ruine
mine
.
Wild.
It
works
rarely
.
Mel.
But
I
am
resolv'd
to
see
Aurelia
;
if
it
be
but
to
defeat
him
.
Exit
Melchor

Wild.
Let
's
make
haste
after
him
;
I
long
to
see
the
end
of
this
adventure
.
Mask

Sir
,
I
think
I
see
some
women
coming
yonder

Bell.
Well
;
I
'll
leave
you
to
your
adventures
;
while
I
prosecute
my
own

Wild.
I
warrant
you
have
made
an
assignation
to
instruct
some
Lady
in
the
Mathematicks
.
Bell.
I
'll
not
tell
you
my
design
;
because
if
it
does
not
succeed
you
shall
not
laugh
at
me
.
Exit
Bellamy
.
Enter
Beatrix
;
and
Jacinta
in
the
habit
of
a
Mulatta
.
Wild.
Let
us
withdraw
a
little
,
and
see
if
they
will
come
this
way
.
Beat.
We
are
right
,
Madam
,
't
is
certainly
your
Englishman
,
and
his
Servant
with
him
.
But
why
this
second
triall
,
when
you
engag'd
to
break
with
him
,
if
he
fail'd
in
the
first
?
Jac.
'T
is
true
,
he
has
been
a
little
inconstant
;
cholerick
,
or
so
.
Beat.
And
it
seems
you
are
not
contented
with
those
vices
;
but
are
searching
him
for
more
.
This
is
the
folly
of
a
bleeding
Gamester
,
who
will
obstinately
pursue
a
losing
hand
.
Jac.
On
t'other
side
you
would
have
me
throw
up
my
Cards
before
the
game
be
lost
:
let
me
make
this
one
more
triall
,
when
he
has
money
whether
he
will
give
it
me
,
and
then
if
he
fails
—
Beat.
You
'l
forgive
him
agen
.
Jac.
He
's
already
in
Purgatory
;
but
the
next
offence
shall
put
him
in
the
pit
past
all
redemption
;
prethee
sing
to
draw
him
nearer
:
Sure
he
cannot
know
me
in
this
disguise
.
Beat.
Make
haste
then
;
for
I
have
more
Irons
in
the
fire
:
when
I
have
done
with
you
I
have
another
assignation
of
my
Lady
Don
Melchor

SONG
.
Calm
was
the
Even
,
and
cleer
was
the
Skie
,
And
the
new
budding
flowers
did
spring
,
When
all
alone
went
Amyntas
and
I
To
hear
the
sweet
Nightingale
sing
;
I
sate
,
and
he
laid
him
down
by
me
;
But
scarcely
his
breath
he
could
draw
;
For
when
with
a
fear
he
began
to
draw
near
,
He
was
dash'd
with
A
ha
ha
ha
ha
!
2.
He
blush'd
to
himself
,
and
lay
still
for
a
while
,
And
his
modesty
curb'd
his
desire
;
But
streight
I
convinc'd
all
his
fear
with
a
smile
,
Which
added
new
flames
to
his
fire
.
O
Sylvia
,
said
he
,
you
are
cruel
,
To
keep
your
poor
Lover
in
awe
;
Tken
once
more
he
prest
with
his
hand
to
my
brest
,
But
was
dash'd
with
A
ha
ha
ha
ha
.
3.
I
knew
't
was
his
passion
that
caus'd
all
his
fear
;
And
therefore
I
pity'd
his
case
:
I
whisper'd
him
softly
there
's
no
body
near
,
And
layd
my
cheek
close
to
his
face
:
But
as
he
grew
bolder
and
bolder
,
A
Shepherd
came
by
us
and
saw
;
And
just
as
our
bliss
we
began
with
a
kiss
,
He
laughd
out
with
A
ha
ha
ha
ha
.
Wild.
If
you
dare
be
the
Sylvia
,
Lady
,
I
have
brought
you
a
more
confident
Amyntas
,
than
that
bashful
Gentleman
in
your
Song
—
-
Goes
to
lay
hold
of
her
.
Jac.
Hold
,
hold
;
Sir
,
I
am
only
an
Ambassadress
sent
you
from
a
Lady
,
I
hope
you
will
not
violate
the
Laws
of
Nations
.
Wild.
I
was
only
searching
for
your
Letters
of
Credence
:
but
methinks
with
that
beauty
you
look
more
like
a
Herauld
that
comes
to
denounce
war
to
all
mankind
.
—
Jac.
One
of
the
Ladies
in
the
Masque
to
night
has
taken
a
liking
to
you
;
and
sent
you
by
me
this
purse
of
gold
,
in
recompence
of
that
she
saw
you
lose
.
Wild.
And
she
expects
in
return
of
it
,
that
I
should
wait
on
her
;
I
'll
do
't
,
Where
lives
she
?
I
am
desperately
in
love
with
her
.
Jac.
Why
,
Can
you
love
her
unknown
?
Wild.
I
have
a
Banque
of
Love
,
to
supply
every
ones
occasions
;
some
for
her
,
some
for
another
,
and
some
for
you
;
charge
what
you
will
upon
me
,
I
pay
all
at
sight
,
and
without
questioning
who
brought
the
Bill
.
Jac.
Heyday
,
You
dispatch
your
Mistresses
as
fast
,
as
if
you
meant
to
o're-run
all
Woman-kind
:
sure
you
aime
at
the
Universal-Monarchy
.
Wild.
Now
I
think
on
't
,
I
have
a
foolish
fancy
to
send
thy
Lady
a
taste
of
my
love
by
thee
.
Jac.
'T
is
impossible
your
love
should
be
so
humble
,
to
descend
to
a
Mulatta
.
Wild.
One
would
think
so
,
but
I
cannot
help
it
.
Gad
,
I
think
the
reason
is
because
there
's
something
more
of
sin
in
thy
colour
then
in
ours
.
I
know
not
what
's
the
matter
,
but
a
Turky-Cock
is
not
more
provok'd
at
red
,
then
I
bristle
at
the
sight
of
black
.
Come
,
be
kinder
to
me
.
Young
,
and
slip
an
opportunity
?
'T
is
an
Evening
lost
out
of
your
life
.
Jac.
These
fine
things
you
have
said
over
a
thousand
times
;
your
cold
Compliment's
the
cold
Pye
of
love
which
you
serve
up
to
every
new
guest
whom
you
invite
.
Wild.
Come
;
because
thou
art
very
moving
,
here
's
part
of
the
Gold
,
which
thou
brought'st
to
corrupt
me
for
thy
Lady
:
truth
is
,
I
had
promis'd
a
summ
to
a
Spanish
Lady
—
but
thy
eyes
have
allur'd
it
from
me
.
Jac.
You
'll
repent
to
morrow
.
Wild.
Let
to
morrow
starve
:
or
provide
for
himself
,
as
to
night
has
done
:
to
morrow
is
a
cheat
in
love
,
and
I
will
not
trust
it
.
Jac.
I
,
but
Heaven
that
sees
all
things
—
Wild.
Heaven
that
sees
all
things
will
say
nothing
:
that
is
,
all
eyes
and
no
tongue
;
Et
la
lune
&
les
estoiles
,
—
you
know
the
Song
.
Jac.
A
poor
slave
as
I
am
—
Wild.
It
has
been
alwayes
my
humour
to
love
downward
.
I
love
to
stoop
to
my
prey
,
and
to
have
it
in
my
power
to
Sowse
at
when
I
please
.
When
a
man
comes
to
a
great
Lady
,
he
is
fain
to
approach
her
with
fear
and
reverence
;
methinks
there
's
something
of
Godliness
in
't
.
Jac.
Yet
I
cannot
believe
,
but
the
meanness
of
my
habit
must
needs
scandalize
you
.
Wild.
I
'll
tell
thee
my
friend
and
so
forth
,
that
I
exceedingly
honour
course
Linnen
;
't
is
as
proper
sometimes
in
an
under
Garment
,
as
a
course
Towel
is
to
rub
and
scrub
me
.
Jac.
Now
I
am
altogether
of
the
other
side
,
I
can
love
no
where
but
above
me
:
methinks
the
ratling
of
a
Coach
and
six
,
sounds
more
eloquently
,
then
the
best
Harrangue
a
Wit
could
make
me
.
Wild.
Do
you
make
no
more
esteem
of
a
Wit
then
?
Jac.
His
commendations
serve
onely
to
make
others
have
a
mind
to
me
;
He
does
but
say
Grace
to
me
like
a
Chaplain
;
and
like
him
is
the
last
that
shall
fall
on
.
He
ought
to
get
no
more
by
it
,
then
a
poor
Silk-weaver
does
by
the
Ribband
which
he
workes
,
to
make
a
Gallant
fine
.
Wild.
Then
what
is
a
Gentleman
to
hope
from
you
?
Jac.
To
be
admitted
to
pass
my
time
with
,
while
a
better
comes
:
to
be
the
lowest
step
in
my
Stair-case
,
for
a
Knight
to
mount
upon
him
,
and
a
Lord
upon
him
,
and
a
Marquess
upon
him
,
and
a
Duke
upon
him
,
till
I
get
as
high
as
I
can
climb
.
Wild.
For
ought
I
see
,
the
Great
Ladies
have
the
Appetites
which
you
Slaves
should
have
;
and
you
Slaves
the
Pride
which
ought
to
be
in
Ladies
.
For
,
I
observe
,
that
all
women
of
your
condition
are
like
the
women
of
the
Play-house
,
still
Piquing
at
each
other
,
who
shall
go

best
Drest

and
in
the
Richest
Habits
:
till
you
work
up
one
another
by
your
high
flying
,
as
the
Heron
and
Jerfalcon
do
.
If
you
cannot
out-shine
your
fellow
with
one
Lover
,
you
fetch
her
up
with
another
:
and
in
short
,
all
you
get
by
it
is
onely
to
put
Finery
out
of
countenance
;
and
to
make
the
Ladies
of

go
plain

they
will
avoid

No

Did
not

come

throw
him
down

lights

my
throat
for
madness
.
Mask
.
Now
could
I
break
my
neck
for
despair
;
if
I
could
find
a
precipice
absolutely
to
my
liking
.
Wild.
'T
is
in
vain
to
consider
on
't
.
There
's
but
one
way
;
go
you
Maskal
,
and
find
her
out
,
and
invent
some
excuse
for
me
,
and
be
sure
to
beg
leave
I
may
come
and
wait
upon
her
with
the
gold
before
she
sleeps
.
Mak.
In
the
mean
time
you
'l
be
thinking
at
your
lodging
.
Wild.
But
make
haste
then
to
relieve
me
;
for
I
think
over
all
my
thoughts
in
half
an
hour
.
Exit
Maskall
.
Wild
solus
.
Hang
't
,
now
I
think
on
't
,
I
shall
be
but
melancholique
at
my
Lodging
,
I
'll
go
pass
my
hour
at
the
Gaming-house
,
and
make
use
of
this
money
while
I
have
tools
,
to
win
more
to
it
.
Stay
,
let
me
see
,
I
have
the
box
and
throw
.
My
Don
he
sets
me
ten
pistols
;
I
nick
him
:
ten
more
,
I
sweep
them
too
.
Now
in
all
reason
he
is
nettled
,
and
sets
me
twenty
:
I
win
them
too
.
Now
he
kindles
,
and
butters
me
with
forty
.
They
are
all
my
own
:
in
fine
,
he
is
vehement
,
and
bleeds
on
to
fourscore
or
an
hundred
;
and
I
not
willing
to
tempt
fortune
,
come
away
a
moderate
winner
of
200
pistols
.
The
Scene
opens
and
discovers
Aurelia
and
Camilla
:
behind
them
a
Table
and
lights
set
on
it
.
The
Scene
is
a
Garden
with
an
Arbour
in
it
.
The
Garden
dore
opens
!
How
now
,
Aurelia
and
Camilla
in
expectation
of
Don
Melchor
at
the
Garden
door
;
I
'll
away
lest
I
prevent
the
designe
,
and
within
this
half
hour
come
sailing
back
with
full
pockets
,
as
wantonly
as
a
laden
Galleon
from
the
Indies
.
Exit
.
Aur.
But
dost
thou
think
the
Englishman
can
keep
his
promise
?
for
I
confess
I
furiously
desire
to
see
the
Idea
of
Don
Melchor
.
Cam.
But
,
Madam
,
if
you
should
see
him
,
it
will
not
be
he
,
but
the
Devil
in
his
likeness
;
and
then
why
should
you
desire
it
?
Aur.
In
effect
't
is
a
very
dark
Enigma
;
and
one
must
be
very
spiritual
to
understand
it
.
But
be
what
it
will
,
bodie
or
fantome
,
I
am
resolv'd
to
meet
it
.
Cam.
Can
you
do
it
without
fear
?
Aur.
No
;
I
must
avow
it
,
I
am
furiously
fearful
;
but
yet
I
am
resolv'd
to
sacrifice
all
things
to
my
love
.
Therefore
let
us
pass
over
that
chapter
.
Don
Melchor
without
.
Cam.
Do
you
hear
,
Madam
,
there
's
one
treading
already
;
how
if
it
be
he
?
Aur.
If
it
be
he
;
that
is
to
say
his
Specter
,
that
is
to
say
his
Fantome
,
that
is
to
say
his
Idea
,
that
is
to
say
,
He
and
not
he
.
Cam.
crying
out
.
Ah
,
Madam
,
't
is
he
himself
;
but
he
's
as
big
again
as
he
us'd
to
be
,
with
eyes
like
sawcers

I
'll
save

the
table

Enter

Mel.
Dear
Aurelia
,
what
mean
you
?
Aur.
The
Tempter
has
imitated
his
voice
too
;
avoid
,
avoid
Specter
.
Cam.
If
he
should
find
me
under
the
table
now
!
Mel.
Is
it
thus
my
Dear
that
you
treat
your
Servant
?
Aur.
I
am
not
thy
Dear
;
I
renounce
thee
,
spirit
of
darkness
.
Mel.
This
Spirit
of
darkness
is
come
to
see
an
Angel
of
light
by
her
command
;
and
to
assure
her
of
his
constancy
,
that
he
will
be
hers
eternally

Aur.
Away
Infernal

't
is

Aur.
Heaven

Ah
—
runs
out
shreeking

Mel.
This
is
a
riddle
past
my
finding
out
,
to
send
for
me
,
and
then
to
shun
me
;
but
here
's
one
shall
resolve
it
for
me
:
Camilla
,
what
dost
thou
there
?
Cam.
Help
,
help
,
I
shall
be
carried
away

bodily

She
rises
up

overthrows
the
Table
and
lights
,
and
runs
out

The
Scene
Shuts
.
Mel.
alone
.
Why
Aurelia
,
Camilla
!
they
are
both
run
out
of
hearing
!
This
amazes
me
;
what
can
the
meaning
of
it
be
?
Sure
she
has
heard
of
my
unfathfulness
,
and
was
resolv'd
to
punish
me
by
this
contrivance
!
to
put
an
affront
upon
me
by
this
abrupt
departure
,
as
I
did
on
her
by
my
seeming
absence
.
Enter
Theodosia
and
Beatrix
.
Theo.
Don
Melchor
!
is
it
you
my
Love
that
have
frighted
Aurelia
so
terribly
?
Mel.
Alas
,
Madam
,
I
know
not
;
but
coming
hither
by
your
appointment
,
and
thinking
my self
secure
in
the
night
without
disguise
,
perhaps
it
might
work
upon
her
fancie
,
because
she
thought
me
absent
.
Theo.
Since
't
is
so
unluckily
fallen
out
that
she
knows
you
are
at
Madrid
,
it
can
no
longer
be
kept
a
secret
;
therefore
you
must
now
pretend
openly
to
me
,
and
run
the
risque
of
a
denial
from
my
Father
.
Mel.
O
,
Madam
,
there
's
no
question
but
he
'll
refuse
me
:
for
alas
,
what
is
it
he
can
see
in
me
worthy
of
that
honor
?
or
if
he
should
be
so
partial
to
me
,
as
some
in
the
world
are
,
to
think
me
valiant
,
learned
,
and
not
altogether
a
fool
,
yet
my
want
of
fortune
would
weigh
down
all
.
Theo.
When
he
has
refus'd
you
his
consent
,
I
may
with
Justice
dispose
of
my self
;
and
that
,
while
you
are
constant
,
shall
never
be
to
any
but
your self
:
in
witness
of
which
,
accept
this
Diamond
as
a
Pledge
of
my
hearts
firmness
to
you
.
Beat.
Madam
,
Your
Father
is
coming
this
way
.
Theo.
'T
is
no
matter
;
do
not
stir
;
since
he
must
know
you
are
return'd
,
let
him
now
see
you
.
Enter
Don
Alonzo
.
Alon.
Daughter
,
What
make
you
here
at
this
unseasonable
hour
?
Theo.
Sir
,
—
Alon.
I
know
what
you
would
say
,
That
you
heard
a
noise
,
and
ran
hither
to
see
what
it
might
be
—
Bless
us
!
Who
is
this
with
you
?
Mel.
'T
is
your
servant
Don
Melchor
;
just
return'd
from
St.
Sebastians
.
Alon.
But
,
Sir
,
I
thought
you
had
been
upon
the
Sea
for
Flanders
.
Mel.
I
had
so
design'd
it
.
Alon.
But
,
Why
came
you
back
from
St.
Sebastians
?
Mel.
As
for
that
,
Sir
,
't
is
not
material
—
Theo.
An
unexpected
Law
Sute
has
call'd
him
back
from
St.
Sebastians
.
Alon.
And
,
How
fares
my
Son-in-Law
that
lives
there
?
Melch.
In
Catholique
health
,
Sir.
Alon.
Have
you
brought
no
Letters
from
him
?
Mel.
I
had
,
Sir
,
but
I
was
set
on
by
the
way
,
by
Pickerons
:
and
,
in
spight
of
my
resistance
,
rob'd
,
and
my
Portmantue
taken
from
me
.
Theo.
And
this
was
that
which
he
was
now
desiring
me
to
excuse
to
you
.
Alon.
If
my
Credit
,
Friends
,
or
Counsel
can
do
you
any
service
in
your
Sute
,
I
hope
you
will
command
them
freely
.
Mel.
When
I
have
dispatch'd
some
private
business
I
shall
not
fail
to
trouble
you
;
till
then
,
humbly
kisses
your
hands
,
the
most
oblig'd
of
your
servants
—
Exit
Melchor
.
Alon.
Daughter
,
now
this
Cavalier
is
gone
,
What
occasion
brought
you
out
so
late
?
I
know
what
you
would
say
,
That
it
is
Melancholy
;
a
Tincture
of
the
Hypocondriaque
you
mean
:
but
,
What
cause
have
you
for
this
Melancholy
?
give
me
your
hand
,
and
answer
me
without
Ambages
or
Ambiguities
.
Theo.
He
will
find
out
I
have
given
away
my
Ring
—
I
must
prevent
him
—
Sir
,
I
am
asham'd
to
confess
it
to
you
;
but
,
in
hope
of
your
indulgence
,
I
have
lost
the
Table
Diamond
you
gave
me
.
Alon.
You
would
say
,
The
fear
of
my
displeasure
has
caus'd
this
perturbation
in
you
;
well
,
do
not
disquiet
your self
too
much
,
you
say
't
is
gone
;
I
say
so
too
.
'T
is
stollen
;
and
that
by
some
Thief
I
take
it
:
but
,
I
will
go
and
consult
the
Astrologer
immediately
.
[
He
is
going
.
Theo.
What
have
I
done
?
to
avoid
one
inconvenience
,
I
have
run
into
another
:
this
Devil
of
an
Astrologer
will
discover
that
Don
Melchor
has
it
.
[
Aside
.
Alon.
When
did
you
lose
this
Diamond
?
the
minute
and
second
I
should
know
;
but
the
hour
will
serve
for
the
Degree
ascending
.
Theo.
Sir
,
the
precise
time
I
know
not
;
but
,
it
was
betwixt
six
and
seven
this
evening
,
as
near
as
I
can
guess
.
Alon.
'T
is
enough
;
by
all
the
Stars
I
'll
have
it
for
you
:
Therefore
go
in
,
and
suppose
it
on
your
finger
.
Beat.
I
'll
watch
you
at
a
distance
,
Sir
,
that
my
Englishman
may
have
wherewithall
to
answer
you

Alon.
This
melancholy
wherewith
my
Daughter
laboureth
,
is
—
a
—
I
know
what
I
would
say
,
is
a
certain
species
of
the
Hysterical
Diseases
;
or
a
certain
motion
,
caused
by
a
certain
appetite
,
which
at
a
certain
time
heaveth
in
her
,
like
a
certain
motion
of
an
Earthquake
—
Enter
Bellamy

Bell.
This
is
the
place
,
and
very
near
the
time
that
Theodosia
appoints
her
meeting
with
Don
Melchor
.
He
is
this
night
otherwise
dispos'd
of
with
Aurelia
:
'T
is
but
trying
my
fortune
to
tell
her
of
his
Infidelity
,
and
my
love
.
If
she
yields
she
makes
me
happy
;
if
not
,
I
shall
be
sure
Don
Melchor
has
not
planted
the
Armes
of
Spain
in
the
Fort
before
me
.
However
,
I
'll
push
my
Fortune
as
sure
as
I
am
an
Englishman

Sennor
Ingles

I
know
your
voice

though
I
cannot
perfectly
discern
you

How
the
Devil
come
he
to
cross
me
?
Alon.
I
was
just
coming
to
have
ask'd
another
Favour
of
you
.
Bell.
Without
Ceremony
command
me
,
Sir.
Alon.
My
Daughter
Theodosia
has
lost
a
fair
Diamond
from
her
finger
,
the
time
betwixt
six
and
seven
this
evening
;
now
I
desire
you
,
Sir
,
to
erect
a
Scheme
for
it
,
and
if
it
be
lost
,
or
stollen
,
to
restore
it
to
me
—
This
is
all
,
Sir.
Bell.
There
is
no
end
of
this
old
Fellow
;
thus
will
he
baite
me
from
day
to
day
,
till
my
ignorance
be
found
out
.

Now
is
he
casting
a
Figure
by
the
Art
of
Memory
,
and
making
a
Judgment
of
it
to
himself

This
Astrology
is
a
very
mysterious
speculation
—

Aside

Bell.
'T
is
a
madness
for
me
to
hope
I
can
deceive
him
longer
.
Since
then
he
must
know
I
am
no
Astrologer
,
I
'll
discover
it
my self
to
him
,
and
blush
once
for
all

Well
,
Sir
,
and
what
do
the
Stars
hold
forth
?
What
sayes
nimble
Master
Mercury
to
the
matter
?
Bell.
Sir
,
not
to
keep
you
longer
in
ignorance
,
I
must
ingeniously
declare
to
you
that
I
am
not
the
man
for
whom
you
take
me
.
Some
smattering
in
Astrology
I
have
;
which
my
Friends
,
by
their
indiscretion
,
have
blown
abroad
,
beyond
my
intentions
.
But
,
you
are
not
a
person
to
be
impos'd
on
like
the
vulgar
:
therefore
,
to
satisfie
you
in
one
word
,
my
skill
goes
not
farr
enough
to
give
you
knowledge
of
what
you
desire
from
me
.
Alon.
You
have
said
enough
,
Sir
,
to
perswade
me
of
your
Science
,
if
Fame
had
not
publish'd
it
,
yet
this
very
humility
of
yours
were
enough
to
confirm
me
in
the
beliefe
of
it
.
Bell.
Death
,
you
make
me
mad

Sir

Will
you
have
me
Swear

As
I

a
man
of
the
Town

one
who
wears
good
Cloathes

How
now
Gentlewoman
—
What
,
Are
you
going
to
reliefe
by
Moonshine
?
Beat.
I
was
going
on
a
very
charitable
Office

to
help
a
Friend

was
gravell'd
in
a
very
doubtful
business

But
now
I

I
shall
make
bold
to
propound
a
Question
to

I
will
have
my
own
Question
first
resolv'd

O

Sir

't
is
from
a
Lady

Beat.
If
you
please
,
Sir

I
'll
tell
it
in
your
eare

My
Lady
has
given
Don
Melchor
the
Ring

in
whose
company
her
Father
found
her
but
just
now
at
the
Garden
door

Come

and
you
shall
receive
an
answer

Your
Servant

Sir

Exit
Beatrix

Alon.
Sir
,
I
shall
take
it
very
unkindly
if
you
satisfie
any
other
,
and
leave
me
in
this
perplexity
.
Bell.
Sir
,
if
my
knowledge
were
according
—
Alon.
No
more
of
that
,
Sir
,
I
beseech
you
.
Bell.
Perhaps
I
may
know
something
by
my
Art
concerning
it
;
but
,
for
your
quiet
,
I
wish
you
would
not
press
me
.
Alon.
Do
you
think
I
am
not
Master
of
my
Passions
?
Bell.
Since
you
will
needs
know
what
I
would
willingly
have
conceal'd
,
the
person
who
has
your
Diamond
,
is
he
whom
you
saw
last
in
your
Daughters
company
.
Alon.
You
would
say
't
is
Don
Melchor
de
Guzman
.
Who
,
the
Devil
would
have
suspected
him
of
such
an
action
?
But
he
is
of
a
decay'd
Family
,
and
poverty
it
seems
has
inforc'd
him
to
it
:
now
I
think
on
't
better
he
has
e'en
stoln
it
for
a
fee

bribe
his
Lawyer
;
to
requite
a
lye
with

theft

'll
seek
him
out
,
and
tell
him
part
of
my
mind
before
I
sleep

Bell.
So
,
once
more
I
am
at
liberty
:
but
this
Astrologie
is
so
troublesome
a
Science
—
would
I
were
well
rid
on
't
.
Enter
Don
Lopez
and
a
Servant
.
Lop.
Astrologie
does
he
say
?
O
Cavalier
is
it
you
;
not
finding
you
at
home
I
came
on
purpose
to
seek
you
out
:
I
have
a
small
request
to
the
Stars
by
your
mediation
.
Bell.
Sir
,
for
pity
let
'em
shine
in
quiet
a
little
;
for
what
for
Ladies
and
their
Servants
,
and
younger
Brothers
,
they
scarce
get
a
Holy-day
in
a
twelvemoneth
.
Lop.
Pray
pardon
me
,
if
I
am
a
little
curious
of
my
destiny
,
since
all
my
happiness
depends
on
your
answer
.
Bell
,
Well
,
Sir
,
what
is
it
you
expect
?
Lop.
To
know
whether
my
love
to
a
Lady
will
be
succesful
.
Bell.
'T
is
Aurelia
he
means
—
(
aside
)
Sir
,
in
one
word
I
answer
you
,
that
your
Mistress
loves
another
:
one
who
is
your
friend
:
but
comfort
your self
;
the
Dragons
tail
is
between
him
and
home
,
he
never
shall
enjoy
her
.
Lop.
But
what
hope
for
me
?
Bell.
The
Stars
have
partly
assur'd
me
you
shall
be
happy
,
if
you
acquaint
her
with
your
passion
,
and
with
the
double
dealing
of
your
friend
,
who
is
false
to
her
.
Lop.
You
speak
like
an
Oracle
.
But
I
have
engag'd
my
promise
to
that
friend
to
serve
him
in
his
passion
to
my
Mistress
.
Bell.
We
English
seldom
make
such
scruples
;
Women
are
not
compris'd
in
our
Laws
of
friendship
:
they
are
ferae
naturae
;
our
common
game
,
like
Hare
and
Patridge
:
every
man
has
equal
right
to
them
,
as
he
has
to
the
Sun
and
Elements
.
Lop.
Must
I
then
betray
my
friend
?
Bell.
In
that
case
my
friend
is
a
Turk
to
me
,
if
he
will
be
so
barbarous
as
to
retain
two
women
to
his
private
use
;
I
will
be
factious
for
all
distressed
Damsels
;
who
would
much
rather
have
their
cause
try'd
by
a
full
Jury
,
then
a
single
Judge
.
Lop.
Well
,
Sir
,
I
will
take
your
counsel
;
and
if
I
erre
,
the
fault
be
on
love
and
you
.
—
Exit
Lopez
.
Bell.
Were
it
not
for
love
I
would
run
out
of
the
Town
,
that
's
the
short
on
't
;
for
I
have
engag'd
my self
in
so
many
promises
for
the
Sun
and
Moon
,
and
those
little
minc'd-meats
of
'em
,
that
I
must
hide
before
my
day-of-payment
comes
.
In
the
mean
time
I
forget
Theodosia
;
but
now
I
defie
the
Devil
to
hinder
me
.
As
he
is
going
out
he
meets
Aurelia
,
and
almost
justles
her
down
.
With
her
Camilla
enters
.
Aur.
What
rudeness
is
this
?
Bell.
Madam
Aurelia
,
is
it
you
?
Aur.
Monsieur
Bellamy
!
Bell.
The
same
,
Madam
.
Aur.
My
Unkle
told
me
he
left
you
here
:
and
indeed
I
came
hither
to
complain
of
you
:
for
you
have
treated
me
so
inhumanely
that
I
have
some
reason
to
resent
it
.
Bell.
What
occasion
can
I
have
given
you
for
a
complaint
?
Aur.
Don
Melchor
,
as
I
am
inform'd
by
my
Uncle
,
is
effectively
at
Madrid
:
so
that
it
was
not
his
Idea
,
but
himself
in
person
whom
I
saw
:
and
since
you
knew
this
,
why
did
you
conceal
it
from
me
?
Bell.
When
I
spoke
with
you
I
knew
it
not
:
but
I
discover'd
it
in
the
erecting
of
my
figure
.
Yet
if
instead
of
his
Idea
I
constrain'd
himself
to
come
,
in
spight
of
his
resolution
to
remain
conceal'd
,
I
think
I
have
shown
a
greater
effect
of
my
art
then
what
I
promis'd
.
Aur.
I
render
my self
to
so
convincing
an
argument
:
but
by
over-hearing
a
discourse
just
now
betwixt
my
Cousin
Theodosia
and
her
Maid
,
I
find
that
he
has
conceal'd
himself
upon
her
account
,
which
has
given
me
jealousie
to
the
last
point
;
for
to
avow
an
incontestable
truth
,
my
Cousin
is
furiously
handsome
.
Bell.
Madam
,
Madam
,
trust
not
your
ears
too
far
;
she
talk'd
on
purpose
that
you
might
hear
her
:
but
I
assure
you
the
true
cause
of
Don
Melchor's
concealment
,
was
not
love
of
her
,
but
jealousie
of
you
:
he
staid
in
private
to
observe
your
actions
:
build
upon
't
Madam
,
he
is
inviolably
yours
.
Aur.
Then
will
he
sacrifice
my
Cousin
to
me
?
Bell.
'T
is
furiously
true
Madam
.
Aur.
O
most
agreeable
assurance
!
Cam.
Albricias
Madam
,
for
my
good
news
;
Don
Melchor
is
coming
this
way
;
I
know
him
by
his
voice
;
but
he
is
in
company
with
another
person
.
Aur.
It
will
not
be
convenient
to
give
him
any
umbrage
by
seeing
me
with
another
person
;
therefore
I
will
go
before
;
do
you
stay
here
and
conduct
him
to
my
Appartment
.
Good-night
Sir.
Exit
.
Bell.
I
have
promis'd
Don
Lopez
he
shall
possess
her
;
and
I
have
promis'd
her
she
shall
possess
Don
Melchor
:
't
is
a
little
difficult
I
confess
,
as
to
the
Matrimonial
part
of
it
:
but
if
Don
Melchor
will
be
civil
to
her
,
and
she
be
civil
to
Don
Lopez
,
my
credit
is
safe
without
the
benefit
of
my
Clergie
.
But
all
this
nothing
to
Theodosia

Cam.
Don
Melchor
,
a
word
in
private
.
Mel.
Your
pleasure
,
Lady
;
Sir
,
I
will
wait
on
you
immediately
.
Cam.
I
am
sent
to
you
from
a
fair
Lady
,
who
bears
you
no
ill
will.
You
may
guess
whom
I
mean.
Mel.
Not
by
my
own
merits
,
but
by
knowing
whom
you
serve
:
but
I
confess
I
wonder
at
her
late
strange
usage
when
she
fled
from
me
.
Cam.
That
was
only
a
mistake
;
but
I
have
now
,
by
her
command
,
been
in
a
thousand
places
in
quest
of
you
.
Mel.
You
overjoy
me
.
Cam.
And
where
amongst
the
rest
do
you
think
I
have
been
looking
you
?
Mel.
Pray
refresh
my
memory
.
Cam.
In
that
same
street
,
by
that
same
shop
;
you
know
where
by
a
good
token
.
Mel.
By
what
token
?
Cam.
Just
by
that
shop
where
,
out
of
your
nobleness
,
you
promis'd
me
a
new
Silk
Gown
.
Mel.
O
,
now
I
understand
you
.
Cam.
Not
that
I
press
you
to
a
performance
—
Mel.
Take
this
,
and
please
your self
in
the
choice
of
it
—
Gives
her
money

]
Cam.
Nay
,
dear
Sir
,
now
you
make
me
blush
;
in
faith
I
—
am
asham'd
—
I
swear
't
is
only
because
I
would
keep
something
for
your
sake
.
—
But
my
Lady
expects
you
immedeiately
in
her
Appartment
.
Mel.
I
'll
wait
on
her
if
I
can
possibly
—
Exit
Camilla
.
But
if
I
can
prevail
with
Don
Alonzo
for
his
Daughter
,
then
will
I
again
consider
,
which
of
the
Ladies
best
deserves
me
.
—
[
Aside
.
]
To
Alonzo
.
Sir
,
I
beg
your
pardon
for
this
rudeness
in
leaving
you
.
Alon.
I
cannot
possibly
resolve
with
my self
to
tell
him
openly
he
is
a
thief
;
but
I
'll
guild
the
pill
for
him
to
swallow
.
[
aside
.
Mel.
I
believe
he
has
discover'd
our
amour
:
how
he
surveys
me
for
a
Son
in
law
!
Alon.
Sir
,
I
am
sorry
for
your
sake
,
that
true
nobility
is
not
alwayes
accompanied
with
riches
to
support
it
in
it's
lustre
.
Mel.
You
have
a
just
exception
against
the
Caprichiousness
of
destiny
;
yet
if
I
were
owner
of
any
noble
qualities
,
(
which
I
am
not
)
I
should
not
much
esteem
the
goods
of
fortune
.
Alon.
But
pray
conceive
me
,
Sir
,
your
father
did
not
leave
you
flourishing
in
wealth
.
Mel.
Only
a
very
fair
Seat
in
Andalusia
,
with
all
the
pleasures
imaginable
about
it
:
that
alone
,
were
my
poor
deserts
according
,
which
I
confess
they
are
not
,
were
enough
to
make
a
woman
happy
in
it
.
Alon.
But
give
me
leave
to
come
to
the
point
I
beseech
you
,
Sir.
I
have
lost
a
Jewel
which
I
value
infinitely
,
and
I
hear
it
is
in
your
possession
:
but
I
accuse
your
wants
,
not
you
,
for
it
.
Mel.
Your
Daughter
is
indeed
a
Jewel
,
but
she
were
not
lost
,
were
she
in
possession
of
a
man
of
parts
.
Alon.
A
pretious
Diamond
Sir.
—
Mel.
But
a
man
of
honor
,
Sir.
Alon.
I
know
what
you
would
say
,
Sir
,
that
a
man
of
honor
is
not
capable
of
an
unworthy
action
;
but
therefore
I
do
not
accuse
you
of
the
theft
,
I
suppose
the
Jewel
was
only
put
into
your
hands
.
Mel.
By
honorable
wayes
I
assure
you
Sir.
Alon.
Sir
,
Sir
,
will
you
restore
my
Jewel
?
Mel.
Will
you
please
,
Sir
,
to
give
me
leave
to
be
the
unworthy
possessor
of
her
?
I
know
how
to
use
her
with
that
respect
.
—
Alon.
I
know
what
you
would
say
,
Sir
,
but
if
it
belongs
to
our
Family
;
otherwise
I
assure
you
it
were
at
your
service
.
Mel.
As
it
belongs
to
your
Family
I
covet
it
;
not
that
I
plead
my
own
deserts
,
Sir.
Alon.
Sir
,
I
know
your
deserts
;
but
,
I
protest
I
cannot
part
with
it
:
for
,
I
must
tell
you
,
this
Diamond
Ring
was
originally
my
Great
Grandfathers
.
Mel.
A
Diamond
Ring
,
Sir
,
do
you
mean
?
—
Alon.
By
your
patience
,
Sir
,
when
I
have
done
you
may
speak
your
pleasure
.
I
onely
lent
it
to
my
Daughter
;
but
,
how
she
lost
it
,
and
how
it
came
upon
your
Finger
,
I
am
yet
in
tenebris
.
Mel.
Sir
—
Alon.
I
know
it
,
Sir
;
but
spare
your self
the
trouble
,
I
'll
speak
for
you
;
you
would
say
you
had
it
from
some
other
hand
;
I
believe
it
,
Sir.
Mel.
But
,
Sir
—
Alon.
I
warrant
you
,
Sir
,
I
le
bring
you
off
without
your
speaking
;
from
another
hand
you
had
it
;
and
now
Sir
,
as
you
say
,
Sir
,
and
as
I
am
saying
for
you
,
Sir
,
you
are
loath
to
part
with
it
.
Mel.
Good
Sir
,
—
let
me
—
Alon.
I
understand
you
already
,
Sir
,
that
you
have
taken
a
fancy
to
it
,
and
would
buy
it
;
but
,
to
that
I
answer
as
I
did
before
,
that
it
is
a
Relique
of
my
family
:
now
,
Sir
,
if
you
can
urge
ought
farther
,
you
have
liberty
to
speak
without
interruption
.
Mel.
This
Diamond
you
speak
on
I
confess
—
Alon.
But
,
What
need
you
confess
,
Sir
,
before
you
are
accus'd
?
Mel.
You
promis'd
you
would
hear
me
in
my
turn
,
Sir
,
but
—
Alon.
But
,
as
you
were
saying
,
it
is
needless
,
because
I
have
already
spoken
for
you
.
Mel.
The
truth
is
,
Sir
,
I
was
too
presumptuous
to
take
this
Pledge
from
Theodosia
without
your
knowledge
;
but
,
you
will
pardon
the
invincible
necessity
,
when
I
tell
you
—
Alon.
You
need
not
tell
me
,
I
know
your
necessity
was
the
reason
of
it
,
and
that
place
and
opportunity
have
caus'd
your
error
.
Mel.
This
is
the
goodest
old
man
I
ever
knew
;
he
prevents
me
in
my
motion
for
his
Daughter
.
Since
,
Sir
,
you
know
the
cause
of
my
errors
,
and
are
pleas'd
to
lay
part
of
the
blame
upon
Youth
and
Opportunity
;
I
beseech
you
favour
me
so
far
,
to
accept
me
as
fair
Theodosia
already
has
—
.
Alon.
I
conceive
you
,
Sir
,
that
I
would
accept
of
your
excuse
:
why
restore
the
Diamond
and
't
is
done
.
Mel.
More
joyfully
then
I
receiv'd
it
:
and
with
it
I
beg
the
honour
to
be
receiv'd
by
you
as
your
Son
in
Law.
Alon.
My
Son
in
Law
!
this
is
the
most
pleasant
Proposition
I
ever
heard
.
Mel.
I
am
proud
you
think
it
so
;
but
,
I
protest
I
think
not
I
deserve
this
honor
.
Alon.
Nor
I
,
I
assure
you
,
Sir
;
marry
my
daughter
—
ha
,
ha
,
ha
.
Mel.
But
,
Sir
—
.
Alon.
I
know
what
you
would
say
,
Sir
,
that
there
is
too
much
hazard
in
the
Profession
of
a
Thief
,
and
therefore
you
would
Marry
my
Daughter
to
become
rich
,
without
venturing
your
Neck
for
't
.
I
beseech
you
,
Sir
,
steal
on
,
be
apprehended
,
and
if
you
please
,
be
hang'd
,
it
shall
make
no
breach
betwixt
us
.
For
my
part
,
I
'll
keep
your
Counsel
,
and
so
good
night
,
Sir.

No

ever
threw

It
could
not

it
must
be
the

that
did
it

he
took
all
the
Chances

chang'd
'em
after
I
had
thrown
'em

I

be

I
'll
never

Madam

't
is
certainly
my
Master

and
he
is
so
zealous

make
his
peace

he
could
not
stay
till
I
call'd
him
to
you
—
Sir.

Sirrah

I
'll
teach
you
more
manners

another

you

you
have
lost
me
two
hundred

you
and
the
Devil
your

you

by

off

On

Yes

I
do
know
you
so
well

that
my
poor

going

consideration
I
am
come

Heaven
I

I
do
not
wonder
at
my self
for
being
angry

And
then
to
wonder
I
should
love
her
in
those
disguises

to
quarrel
at
the
natural
desires
of
humane
kind

assaulted
by
powerful
temptations

I
am
inrag'd
at

Heyday

you
had
best
quarrel
too

my
bringing
you

I
have
a
grudging

affront
my

But

that

also
aggravated

This

plain

smoak

he
came
on
purpose

prevent
it

If
it
be
come

once

I
'll

And
then

Hold

there
needs
no
more

you
shall
fall
out

I
'll
gratifie

the

Break

Because
I
will
absolutely
break
off

I
will
keep
nothing

belongs

you

therefore
take
back
your

Jac.
I
have
nothing

therefore
take
back

Take

Not

To

I
'll
bear
you
off
upon
my

we
have
broke
their
hearts

Let
her
go
first
then

I
'll
stay

keep
the
honor
of

Jac.
I
'll
not
retreat
,
if
you
stay
till
midnight

Wild.
Are
you
sure
then
we
have
done
loving
?
Jac.
Yes
,
very
sure
;
I
think
so
.
Wild.
'T
is
well
you
are
so
;
for
otherwise
I
feel
my
stomack
a
little
maukish
.
I
should
have
doubted
another
sit
of
love
were
coming
up
.
Jac.
No
,
no
;
your
inconstancy
secures
you
enough
for
that
.
Wild.
That
's
it
which
makes
me
fear
my
own
returning
:
nothing
vexes
me
,
but
that
you
should
part
with
me
so
slightly
,
as
though
I
were
not
worth
your
keeping
;
well
,
't
is
a
sign
you
never
lov'd
me
.
Jac.
'T
is
the
least
of
your
care
whether
I
did
or
did
not
:
it
may
be
it
had
been
more
for
the
quiet
of
my self
,
if
I
—
but
't
is
no
matter
,
I
'll
not
give
you
that
satisfaction
.
Wild.
But
what
's
the
reason
you
will
not
give
it
me
?
Jac.
For
the
reason
that
we
are
quite
broke
off
.
Wild.
Why
are
we
quite
broke
off
?
Jac.
Why
are
we
not
?
Wild.
Well
,
since
't
is
past
,
't
is
past
;
but
a
pox
of
all
foolish
quarrelling
for
my
part
.
Jac.
And
a
mischief
of
all
foolish
disguisements
for
my
part
.
Wild.
But
if
it
were
to
do
again
with
another
Mistress
,
I
would
e'en
plainly
confess
I
had
lost
my
money
.
Jac.
And
if
I
had
to
deal
with
another
Servant
,
I
would
learn
more
wit
then
to
tempt
him
in
disguises
:
for
that
's
to
throw
a
Venice-glass
to
the
ground
,
to
try
if
it
would
not
break
.
Wild.
If
it
were
not
to
please
you
,
I
see
no
necessity
of
our
parting
.
Jac.
I
protest
I
do
it
only
out
of
complaisance
to
you
.
Wild.
But
if
I
should
play
the
fool
and
ask
you
pardon
,
you
would
refuse
it
.
Jac.
No
,
never
submit
,
for
I
should
spoil
you
again
with
pardoning
you
.
Mask

Do
you
hear
this
,
Beatrix
?
they
are
just
upon
the
point
of
accommodation
;
we
must
make
haste
or
they
'll
make
a
peace
by
themselves
;
and
exclude
us
from
the
Treaty
.
Beat.
Declare
your self
the
Aggressor
then
;
and
I
'll
take
you
into
mercy
.
Wild.
The
worst
that
you
can
say
of
me
is
that
I
have
lov'd
you
thrice
over

But
in
the
first
place
let
us
agree
on
the
Article
of
Navigation
I
beseech
you

These

offensive

T
Is
true

if
he
had
continu'd
constant

you
,
I
should
have
thought
my self
oblig'd
in
honor
to
be
his
friend
;
but
I
could
no
longer
suffer
him
to
abuse
a
person
of
your
worth
and
beauty
with
a
feign'd
affection
.
Aur.
But
is
it
possible
Don
Melchor
should
be
false
to
love
?
I
'll
be
sworn
I
did
not
imagine
such
a
treacherie
could
have
been
in
nature
;
especially
to
a
Lady
who
had
so
oblig'd
him
.
Lop.
'T
was
this
,
Madam

which
gave
me
the
coufidence
to
wait
upon
at
an
hour
which
would
be
otherwise
unseasonable
.
Aur.
You
are
the
most
obliging
person
in
the
world
.
Lop.
But
to
clear
it
to
you
that
he
is
false
;
he
is
at
this
very
minute
at
an
assignation
with
your
Cousin
in
the
Garden
;
I
am
sure
he
was
endeavouring
it
not
an
hour
ago
.
Aur.
I
swear
this
Evenings
Air
begins
to
incommode
me
extremely
with
a
cold
;
but
yet
in
hope
of
detecting
this
perjur'd
man
I
am
content
to
stay
abroad
.
Lop.
But
withall
you
must
permit
me
tell
you
,
Madam
,
that
it
is
but
just
I
should
have
some
share
in
a
heart
which
I
endeavour
to
redeem
:
in
the
Law
of
Arms
you
know
that
they
who
pay
the
ransome
have
right
to
dispose
of
the
prisoner

Aur.
The
prize
is
so
very
inconsiderable
that
't
is
not
worth
the
claiming
.
Lop.
If
I
thought
the
boon
were
small
,
I
would
not
importune
my
Princess
with
the
asking
it
:
but
since
my
life
depends
upon
the
grant
—
Cam.
Mam
,
I
must
needs
tell
your
Laship
that
Don
Lopez
has
deserv'd
you
:
for
he
has
acted
all
along
like
a
Cavalier
;
and
more
for
your
interest
than
his
own
;
besides
Mam
Don
Melchor
is
as
poor
as
he
is
false
:
for
my
part
I
shall
ne're
endure
to
call
him
Master
.
Aur.
Don
Lopez
go
along
with
me
,
I
can
promise
nothing
,
but
I
swear
I
will
do
my
best
to
disingage
my
heart
from
this
furious
tender
which
I
have
for
him
.
Cam.
If
I
had
been
a
man
I
could
never
have
forsaken
you
:
Ah
those
languishing
casts
,
Mam
;
and
that
pouting
lip
of
your
Laship
,
like
a
Cherry-bough
weigh'd
down
with
the
weight
of
fruit
.
Aur.
And
that
sigh
too
I
think
is
not
altogether
disagreeaable
:
but
something
charmante
and
mignonne
.
Cam.
Well
,
Don
Lopez

Our
famous

how
come
you
here

Bell.
I
am
infinitely
happy
to
have
met
you
with
Donna

that
you
may
do
me
the
favour

satisfie
this

a
truth

scarce
perswade
her
to
believe

I
am
glad
our
concernments
are
so
equal

for
I
have
the
like
favour
to
ask
from
Donna
Theodosia

Theo.
Don
Lopez
is
too
noble
to
be
refus'd
any
thing
within
my
power
;
and
I
am
ready
to
do
him
any
service
after
I
have
ask'd
my
Cousin
if
ever
Don
Melchor
pretended
to
her
?

'T
is
the
very
question
which
I
was
furiously
resolv'd
to
have
ask'd
of
you

Theo.
I
must
confess
he
has
made
some
professions
to
me
:
and
withall
I
will
acknowledge
my
own
weakness
so
far
as
to
tell
you
I
have
given
way
he
should
often
visit
me
when
the
world
believ'd
him
absent
.
Aur.
O
Cavalier
Astrologer
;
how
have
you
betrayd
me
!
did
you
not
assure
me
that
Don
Melchor's
tender
and
inclination
was
for
me
only
?
Bell.
I
had
it
from
his
Star
,
Madam
,
I
do
assure
you
,
and
if
that
twinkled
false
,
I
cannot
help
it
:
The
truth
is
there
's
no
trusting
the
Planet
of
an
inconstant
man
:
his
was
moving
to
you
when
I
look'd
on
't
,
and
if
since
it
has
chang'd
the
course
,
I
am
not
to
be
blam'd
for
't
.
Lop.
Now
,
Madam
,
the
truth
is
evident
.
And
for
this
Cavalier
he
might
easily
be
deceiv'd
in
Melchor
,
for
I
dare
affirm
it
to
you
both
,
he
never
knew
to
which
of
you
he
was
most
inclin'd
:
for
he
visited
one
,
and
writ
letters
to
the
other
.
Bell.
to
Theo.
Then
Madam
I
must
claim
your
promise
:
(
since
I
have
discover'd
to
you
that
Don
Melchor
is
unworthy
of
your
favours
)
that
you
would
make
me
happy
,
who
amongst
my
many
imperfections
can
never
be
guilty
of
such
a
falsehood
.
Theo.
If
I
have
been
deceiv'd
in
Melchor
whom
I
have
known
so
long
,
you
cannot
reasonably
expect
I
should
trust
you
at
a
dayes
acquaintance
.
Bell.
For
that
,
Madam
,
you
may
know
as
much
of
me
in
a
day
as
you
can
in
all
your
life
:
all
my
humours
circulate
like
my
blood
,
at
farthest
within
24
hours
.
I
am
plain
and
true
like
all
my
Countrymen
;
you
see
to
the
bottom
of
me
as
easily
as
you
do
to
the
gravel
of
a
clear
stream
in
Autumn
.
Lop.
You
plead
so
well
,
Sir
,
that
I
desire
you
would
speak
for
me
too
:
my
cause
is
the
same
with
yours
,
only
it
has
not
so
good
an
Advocate
.
Aur.
Since
I
cannot
make
my self
happy
,
I
will
have
the
glory
to
felicitate
another
:
and
therefore
I
declare
I
will
reward
the
fidelity
of
Don
Lopez
.
Theo.
All
that
I
can
say
at
present
is
,
that
I
will
never
be
Don
Melchors
:
the
rest
time
and
your
service
must
make
out
.
Bell.
I
have
all
I
can
expect
,
to
be
admitted
as
eldest
Servant
;
as
preferment
falls
I
hope
you
will
remember
my
seniority
.

little

we
shall
see

which
of
us
he
will
make
his
Court.

Don
Melchor

Don
Melchor
I
thought
you
had
been
a
bed
before
this
time
.
Mel.
Fair
Aurelia

this
is
a
blessing
beyond
expectation
to
see
you
agen
so
soon
.
Aur.
What
important
business
brought
you
hither
?
Mel.
Onely
to
make
my
peace
with
you
before
I
slept
.
You
know
you
are
the
Saint
to
whom
I
pay
my
devotions
.
Aur.
And
yet
it
was
beyond
your
expectances
to
meet
me
?
This
is
furiously
incongruous
.
Theo.
advancing
.
Don
Melchor
,
whither
were
you
bound
so
late
?
Mel.
What
shall
I
say
?
I
am
so
confounded
that
I
know
not
to
which
of
them
I
should
excuse
my self
.
Aside
.
Theo.
Pray
answer
me
truly
to
one
question
:
did
you
never
make
any
addresses
to
my
Cousin
.
Mel.
Fie
,
fie
,
Madam
,
there
's
a
question
indeed
.
Aur.
How
Monster
of
ingratitude
,
can
you
deny
the
Declaration
of
your
passion
to
me
?
Mel.
I
say
nothing
Madam
.
Theo.
Which
of
us
is
it
for
whom
you
are
concern'd
?
Mel.
For
that
Madam
,
you
must
excuse
me
;
I
have
more
discretion
then
to
boast
a
Ladies
favour
.
Aur.
Did
you
counterfeit
an
address
to
me
?
Mel.
Still
I
say
nothing
,
Madam
;
but
I
will
satisfie
either
of
you
in
private
;
for
these
matters
are
too
tender
for
publick
discourse
.
Enter
Lopez
and
Bellamy
hastily
with
their
swords
drawn
.
Bellamy
and
Lopez
!
This
is
strange
!
Lop.
Ladies
,
we
would
not
have
disturb'd
you
,
but
as
we
were
walking
to
the
Garden
door
,
it
open'd
suddenly
against
us
,
and
we
confusedly
saw
by
Moon-light
,
some
persons
entring
,
but
who
they
were
we
know
not
.
Bell.
You
had
best
retire
into
the
Garden-house
,
and
leave
us
to
take
our
fortunes
,
without
prejudice
to
your
reputations
.
Enter

Maskall
,
Jacinta
,
Beatrix

Wild.
to
Jacinta
entring
.
Do
not
fear
,
Madam
,
I
think
I
heard
my
friends
voice
.
Bell.
Marry
hang
you
,
is
it
you
that
have
given
us
this
hot
alarme
.
Wild.
There
's
more
in
't
than
you
imagine
,
the
whole
house
is
up
:
for
seeing
you
two
,
and
not
knowing
you
after
I
had
entred
the
Garden-door
,
I
made
too
much
haste
to
get
out
again
,
and
have
left
the
key
broken
in
it
.
With
the
noise
one
of
the
Servants
came
runing
in
,
whom
I
forc'd
back
;
and
doubtless
he
is
gone
for
company
,
for
you
may
see
lights
running
through
every
Chamber
.
Theo.
Jaci
.
What
will
become
of
.
us
?
Bell.
We
must
have
recourse
to
our
former
resolution
.
Let
the
Ladies
retire
into
the
Garden-house
.
And
now
I
think
on
't
you
Gentlemen
shall
go
in
with
'em
,
and
leave
me
and
Maskall
to
bear
the
brunt
on
't
.
Mask
.
Me
,
Sir
?
I
beseech
you
let
me
go
in
with
the
Ladies
too
;
dear
Beatrix
speak
a
good
word
for
me
,
I
protest
't
is
more
out
of
love
to
thy
company
than
for
any
fear
I
have
.
Bell.
You
Dog
I
have
need
of
your
wit
and
counsel
.
We
have
no
time
to
deliberate
.
Will
you
stay
,
Sir
?
[
to
Maskall

Mask

No
Sir
,
't
is
not
for
my
safety
.
Bell.
Will
you
in
Sir
?
[
to
Melchor
.
Mel.
No
Sir
,
't
is
not
for
my
honor
,
to
be
assisting
to
you
:
I
'll
to
Don
Alonzo
,
and
help
to
revenge
the
injury
you
are
doing
him
.
Bell.
Then
we
are
lost
,
I
can
do
nothing
.
Wild.
Nay
,
and
you
talk
of
honor
,
by
your
leave
Sir.
I
hate
your
Spanish
honor
ever
since
it
spoyl'd
our
English
Playes
,
with
faces
about
and
t'other
side
.
Falls
upon
him
&
throws
him
down
.
Mel.
What
do
you
mean
,
you
will
not
murder
me
?
Mel.
Must
valour
be
oppress'd
by
multitudes
?
Wild.
Come
yarely
my
mates
,
every
man
to
his
share
of
the
burthen
.
Come
yarly

The
four

and

him
out

Theo.
If
this
Englishman
save
us
now
I
shall
admire
his
wit.
Beat.
Good
wits
never
think
themselves
admir'd
till
they
are
well
rewarded
:
you
must
pay
him
in
specie
,
Madam
,
give
him
love
for
his
wit.
Enter
the
Men
again
.
Bell.
Ladies

nothing

into
the
Garden-house

these
Cavaliers
—

Oh
that
I
were
a
Cavalier

Bell.
Come

Stops

Think
your selves
as
safe
as

a
Sanctuary

Come

Hark

I
hear
the
foe
coming
:
methinks
they
threaten
too
,
Sir
;
pray
let
me
go
in
for
a
Guard
to
the
Ladies

I
can
fight
much
better
when
there
is
a

occasion
for
your

help
me

Mask

Sir
,
upon
the
faith
of
a
sinner
you
have
had
my
last
lye
already
;
I
have
not
one
more
to
do
me
credit
as
I
hope
to
be
sav'd
,
Sir.

Victore

knock
under
you

and
confess
me
Conquerour

and
you

see
I
'll
bring
all
off

Enter
Don

six
Servants
;

lights
and
swords
drawn

about
there

Bell.
Fear
nothing

but
vouch
what
I
shall
say

For
a
passive
lye
I
can
yet
do
something
.
Alon.
Stand
:
who
goes
there
?
Bell.
Friends
.
Alon.
Friends
?
who
are
you
?
Bell.
Noble
Don
Alonzo
,
such
as
are
watching
for
your
good
.
Alon.
Is
it
you
,
Sennor
Ingles
?
why
all
this
noise
and
tumult
?
where
are
my
Daughters
and
my
Neece
?
But
in
the
first
place
,
though
last
nam'd
,
how
came
you
hither
,
Sir.
Bell.
I
came
hither
—
by
Astrologie
,
Sir.
Mask
.
My
Master
's
in
,

him
good
shipping
with
his
lye

and
all
kind

his
friends

Alon.
How
,
by
Astrologie
,
Sir
?
meaning
you
came
hither
by
Art
Magick
.
Bell.
I
say
by
pure
Astrologie
Sir
,
I
foresaw
by
my
Art
a
little
after
I
had
left
you
that
your
Neece
and
Daughters
would
this
night
run
a
risque
of
being
carried
away
from
this
very
Garden
.
Alon.
O
the
wonders
of
this
speculation
!
Bell.
Thereupon
I
call'd
immediately
for
my
sword
and
came
in
all
haste
to
advertise
you
;
but
I
see
there
's
no
resisting
Destiny
,
for
just
as
I
was
entring
the
Garden
door
I
met
the
Women
with
their
Gallants
all
under
sail
and
outward
bound
.
Mask

Thereupon
what
does
me
he
but
draws
by
my
advice
—
Bell.
How
now
Mr.
Raskall
?
are
you
itching
to
be
in
?
Mask
.
Pray
,
Sir
,
let
me
go
snip
with
you
in
this
lye
,
and
be
not
too
covetous
of
honor
?
you
know
I
never
stood
with
you
;
now
my
courage
is
come
to
me
I
cannot
resist
the
temptation
.
Bell.
Content
;
tell
on
.
Mask
.
So
in
short
Sir
we
drew
,
first
I
,
and
then
my
Master
;
but
,
being
overpower'd
,
they
have
escap'd
us
,
so
that
I
think
you
may
go
to
bed
and
trouble
your self
no
further
,
for
gone
they
are
.
Bell.
You
tell
a
lye
!
you
have
curtail'd
my
invention
:
you
are
not
fit
to
invent
a
lye
for
a
Bawd
when
she
would
whedle
a
young
Squire

Alon.
Call
up
the
Officers
of
Justice

I
'll
have
the
Town
search'd
immediately

Bell.
'T
is
in
vain
,
Sir

I
know
by
my
Art
you
'll
never
recover
'em
:
besides
,
't
is
an
affront
to
my
friends
the
Stars

who
have
otherwise
dispos'd
of

em

Enter
a

Sir

the
key

Disperse

some
into

Hold

What
adventure
?
Bell.
A
word
in
private
—
The
place
you
would
go
into
is
full
of
enchantments
;
there
are
at
this
time

for
ought
I
know
,
a
Legion

spirits

it

Alon.
You
confound
me
with
wonder

Sir

Bell.
I
have
been
making
there
my
Magical
operations
,
to
know
the
event
of
your
Daughters
flight
:
and
,
to
perform
it
rightly
,
have
been
forc'd
to
call
up
Spirits
of
several
Orders
:
and
there
they
are
humming
like
a
swarm
of
Bees
,
some
stalking
about
upon
the
ground
,
some
flying
,
and
some
sticking
upon
the
walls
like
Rear-mice

The
Devil
's
in
him

he
's
got
off
again

Alon.
Now
Sir
I
shall
trie
the
truth
of
your
friendship
to
me
.
To
confess
the
secret
of
my
soul
to
you
,
I
have
all
my
life
been
curious
to
see
a
Devil
:
And
to
that
purpose
have
con'd
Agrippa
through
and
through
,
and
made
experiment
of
all
his
rules
,
Pari
die
&
incremento
Lunae
,
and
yet
could
never
compass
the
sight
of
one
of
these
Daemoniums

if
you
will
ever
oblige
me
let
it
be
on
this
occasion

There
's
another
storm
arising

You
shall
pardon
me

Sir

I
'll
not
expose
you
to
that
perril
for
the
world

due
preparations
of
ceremony

Alon.
For
that
,
Sir

I
alwayes
carry
a
Talisman
about
me
;
that
will
secure
me

therefore
I
will
venture
in

you
once
into
his
clutches
:
—
Wildblood
embracing
Jacinta

Alon.
He
seems
to
have
got
possession
of
the
Spirit
of
my
Jacinta
by
his
hugging
her
.
Bell.
Nay
,
I
imagin'd
as
much
:
do
but
look
upon
his
physiognomy
,
you
have
read
Baptista
Porta
:
has
he
not
the
leer
of
a
very
lewd
debauch'd
Spirit
?
Alon.
He
has
indeed
:
Then
there
's
my
Neece
Aurelia
,
with
the
Spirit
of
Don
Lopez
;
but
that
's
well
enough
;
and
my
Daughter
Theodosia
all
alone
:
pray
how
comes
that
about
?
Bell.
She
's
provided
for
with
a
Familiar
too
:
one
that
is
in
this
very
room
with
you
,
and
by
your
Elbow
;
but
I
'll
shew
you
him
some
other
time
.
Alon.
And
that
Baggage
Beatrix
,
how
I
would
swinge
her
if
I
had
her
here
;
I
lay
my
life
she
was
in
the
Plot
for
the
flight
of
her
Mistresses
.
[
Bea.
Claps
her
hands
at
him
.
Bell.
Sir
you
do
ill
to
provoke
her
:
for
being
the
Spirit
of
a
Woman
,
she
is
naturally
mischievous
:
you
see
she
can
scarce
hold
her
hands
from
you
already
.
Mask

Let
me
alone
to
revenge
your
quarrel
upon
Beatrix
:
if
e're
she
come
to
light
I
'll
take
a
course
with
her
I
warrant
you
Sir.
Bell.
Now
come
away
Sir
,
you
have
seen
enough
:
the
Spirits
are
in
pain
whilst
we
are
here
:
we
keep
'em
too
long
condens'd
in
bodies
:
if
we
were
gone
they
would
rarifie
into
air
immediately
.
Maskall

the
door
.
Maskall
goes
to
the
Scene
and
it
closes
.
Alon.
Monstrum
hominis
!
O
prodigie
of
Science
!
Enter
two
Servants
with
Don
Melchor
.
Bell.
Now
help
me
with
a
lye
Maskall
,
or
we
are
lost
.
Mask
.
Sir
,
I
could
never
lie
with
man
or
woman
in
a
fright
.
Ser.
Sir
,
we
found
this
Gentleman
bound
and
gagg'd
,
and
he
desir'd
us
to
bring
him
to
you
with
all
haste
imaginable
.
Mel.
O
Sir
,
Sir
,
your
two
Daughters
and
your
Niece
—
Bell.
They
are
gone
he
knows
it
:
but
are
you
mad
Sir
to
set
this
pernicious
wretch
at
libertie
?
Mel.
I
endeavour'd
all
that
I
was
able
—
Mask
.
Now
Sir
I
have
it
for
you
—
Aside
to
his
Master
.
He
was
endeavouring
indeed
to
have
got
away
with
'em
:
for
your
Daughter
Theodosia
was
his
prize
:
but
we
prevented
him
,
and
left
him
in
the
condition
in
which
you
see
him
.
Alon.
I
thought
somewhat
was
the
matter
that
Theodosia
had
not
a
Spirit
by
her
,
as
her
Sister
had
.
Bell.
This
was
he
I
meant
to
shew
you
.
Mel.
Do
you
believe
him
Sir
?
Bell.
No
,
no
,
believe
him
Sir
:
you
know
his
truth
ever
since
he
stole
your
Daughters
Diamond
.
Mel.
I
swear
to
you
by
my
honor
.
Alon.
Nay
,
a
thief
I
knew
him
,
and
yet
after
that
,
he
had
the
impudence
to
ask
me
for
my
Daughter
.
Bell.
Was
he
so
impudent
?
The
case
is
plain
Sir
,
put
him
quickly
into
custody
.
Mel.
Hear
me
but
one
word
Sir
,
and
I
'll
discover
all
to
you
.
Bell.
Hear
him
not
Sir
:
for
my
Art
assures
me
if
he
speaks
one
syllable
more
,
he
will
cause
great
mischief
.
Alon.
Will
he
so
?
I
'll
stop
my
ears
,
away
with
him
.
Mel.
Your
Daughters
are
yet
in
the
Garden
,
hidden
by
this
fellow
and
his
accomplices
.
Alon.
at
the
same
time
drowning
him

I
'll
stop

to

born

down

Enter
another
Servant

Ser.
Sir
,
with
much
ado
we
have
got
out
the
key
and
open'd
the
door
.
Alon.
Then
,
as
I
told
you
,
run
quickly
to
the
Corigidor
,
and
desire
him
to
come
hither
in
person
to
examine
a
malefactor
.
Wildblood
sneezes
within
.
Alon.
Hark
,
what
noise
is
that
within
?
I
think
one
sneezes
.
Bell.
One
of
the
Devils
I
warrant
you
has
got
a
cold
with
being
so
long
out
of
the
fire
.
Alon.
Bless
his
Devilship
as
I
may
say
.
Wildblood
sneezes
again

Don

This
is
a
mans
voice

do
not
suffer
your self

be
deceiv'd

A
mans
voice

that
you
should
live
to
these
years
and
yet
be
so
silly
as
not
to
know
a
man
from
a
Devil

Alon.
There
's
more
in
't
than
I
imagin'd
:
hold
up
your

go
in
first

I
'll
follow

Help

What
's
the
matter

Bell.
Stir

Sir.
Enter
Maskall
again
without
the
Torch

Mask

I
was
no
sooner
entred
,
but
a
huge
Giant
seiz'd
my
Torch

fell'd
me
along

the
very
whiffe
of
his
breath

he
past

Alon.
Bless

the
door

Pass
out

you

the
Officers

Justice
will
be
here
immediately
,
the
Garden-door
is
open

Alon.
What
are
you
muttering

Sir
?
Bell.
Only
dismissing

Spirits

that
they
may
trouble
you
no

go
out
I
say

They

'T

No

thank
you

Enter

Sir
,
the
Corigidor
is
coming
according
to
your
desire

in

we
have
secur'd
the
Garden
doors

Alon.
I
am
glad
on
't
:
I
'll
make
some
of

severe
examples
.
Wild.
Nay
then
as
we
have
liv'd
merrily
,
so
let
us
die
together

but
we
'll
shew
the
Don
some
sport
first

Theo.
What
will
become
of
us
!
Jac.
We
'll
die
for
company

nothing
vexes

I
am
not
a

to
have
one
thrust
at
that
malicious
old
father

mine

I
go

Let

break
our
way
through

Corigidor's
band

we
'll
venture
our
bodies
with
you
:
you
shall
put
the
baggage
in
the
middle

Wild.
He
that
pierces
thee
,
I
say
no
more
,
but
I
shall
be
somewhat
angry
with
him
:
[
to
Alonzo
]
in
the
mean
time
I
arrest
you
Sir
,
in
the
behalf
of
this
good
company
.
As
the
Corigidor
uses
us
,
so
we
'll
use
you
.
Alon.
You
do
not
mean
to
murder
me
!
Bell.
You
murder
your self
if
you
force
us
to
it
.
Wild.
Give
me
a
Razor
there
,
that
I
may
scrape
his
weeson
,
that
the
bristles
may
not
hinder
me
when
I
come
to
cut
it

What
need
you
bring
matters
to
that
extremity
?
you
have
your
ransome
in
your
hand

here
are
three
men
,
and
there
are
three
women
;
you
understand
me

Jac.
If
not
,
here
's
a
sword
and
there
's
a
throat
:
you
understand
me

Alon.
This
is
very
hard
!
Theo.
The
propositions
are
good
,
and
marriage
is
as
honorable
as
it
us'd
to
be

Beat.
You
had
best
let
your
Daughters
live
branded
with
the
name
of
Strumpets

for
what
ever
befalls
the
men
,
that
will
be
sure
to
be
their
share

Alon.
I
can
put
them
into
a
Nunnery

I
would
have
thee
to
know
,
thou
graceless
old
man
,
that
I
defie
a
Nunnery
:
name
a
Nunnery
once
more
,
and
I
disown
thee
for
my
Father

You
know
the
Custome
of
the
Country

in
this
case
Sir

't
is
either
death
or
marriage

the
business
will
certainly
be
publick
;
and
if
they
die
they
have
sworn
you
shall
bear
'em
company

Alon.
Since
it
must
be
so
,
run
Pedro
and
stop
the
Corigidor
:
tell
him
it
was
only
a
Carnival
merriment

which
I
mistook
for
a
Rape

Robbery

Why

are

I
receive
you
into

Among
the
rest
of
your
mistakes

I
must
desire
you
to
let
my
Astrologie
pass

one
:
my
Mathematicks

and
Art
Magick
were
only
a
Carnival
device
;
and
now
that
's
ending
,
I
have
more
mind
to
deal
with
the
flesh
than
with
the
devil

't
is
impossible

I
have

an
utter
stranger

I
hope
you
will
forgive
me

but
what
he
wants

make

You
should
not
have
had
my
consent
so
soon

but
only

revenge
my self
upon
the
falseness
of
Don
Melchor

must
avow
that

and
all
When
we
come
together
.
Wild.
Your
judgement
Gentlemen
:
a
Man
or
a
Maid
?
Bell.
And
you
make
no
better
harmony
after
you
are
married
then
you
have
before
,
you
are
the
miserablest
couple
in
Christendome
.
Wild.
'T
is
no
great
matter
;
if
I
had
had
a
good
voice
she
would
have
spoil'd
it
before
tomorrow
.
Bell.
When
Maskall
has
married
Beatrix
,
you
may
learn
of
her
.
Mask
.
You
shall
put
her
life
into
a
Lease
then
.
Wild.
Upon
condition
that
when
I
drop
into
your
house
from
hunting
,
I
may
set
my
slippers
at
your
door
,
as
a
Turk
does
at
a
Jews
,
that
you
may
not
enter
.
Beat.
And
while
you
refresh
your self
within
,
he
shall
wind
the
horn
without
.
Mask
.
I
'll
throw
up
my
Lease
first
.
Bell.
Why
thou
would'st
not
be
so
impudent
,
to
marry
Beatrix
:
for
thy self
only
?
Beat.
For
all
his
ranting
and
tearing
now
,
I
'll
pass
my
word
he
shall
degenerate
into
as
tame
and
peaceable
a
Husband
as
a
civil
Woman
would
wish
to
have
.
Enter
Don
Melchor
with
a
Servant
.
Mel.
Sir
—
Alon.
I
know
what
you
would
say
,
but
your
discoverie
comes
too
late
now
.
Mel.
Why
the
Ladies
are
found
.
Aur.
But
their
inclinations
are
lost
I
can
assure
you
.
Jac.
Look
you
Sir
,
there
goes
the
game
:
your
Plate-fleet
is
divided
;
half
for
Spain
,
and
half
for
England
.
Theo.
You
are
justly
punish'd
for
loving
two
.
Mel.
Yet
I
have
the
comfort
of
a
cast
Lover
:
I
will
think
well
of
my self
;
and
despise
my
Mistresses
.
Exit
.
DANCE
.
Bell.
Enough
,
enough
;
let
's
end
the
Carnival
abed
.
Wild.
And
for
these
Gentlemen
,
when
e're
they
try
,
May
they
all
speed
as
soon
,
and
well
as
I.
Exeunt
omnes
.
