Un.  Two paire of Tables.—­Tables for what?

Tho.  Oh, sir, for ticktack.  You know it was in my note, which though I doubted at first, yet considering you were newly made a Cap:  I conceiv’d it was fitt you should learne to sett and or[d]er your men.

Un.  Tacticks, man:  thou didst mistake, they are bookes of warre.

Tho.  You cannot know these from bookes as they are painted, I warrant you.

Un.  Why, dost thou thinke theis will make a Souldier?

Tho.  Not of themselves, Sir, and therefore I provided:  please you read on, Sir.

Un. Parsons Resolutions and Felthams Resolves[241].

Tho.  All is nothing I knew, Sir, without resolution.

Un.  Summa totalis three and twenty poundes nyneteene shillings and sevenpence.—­Thou hast undone mee.

Tho.  If you doe not like the pennyworths tis but the charges of my selfe and a horse agen to London.  I will lose but the three odd pounds 19s and 7d:  it may be you doe not understand these Authors:  when the Captaine comes he will expound ’em to you.

Un.  What a Coxcombe have I to my man! but I dare not be angry with him.  Well, carry ’em into my study, Thomas.

[Ext.  Tho.

Enter Device.

De.  Most honor’d Captaine.

Un.  My compleat Monsier Device, this is a grace to us.  You come to visit your Mistres my Cosen.  As if by instinct she had knowledge of your

approach, she is come to meet you.—­Shall I never get opportunitie with that shee waiter!  If I gett her with Child my man Thomas shall marry her.

Enter Thomas.

Tho.  Sir, the Captaine is new alighted.

Un.  Gett a bottle of sack up to my Chamber presently.

[Ext. [Underwit & Thomas.

La.  You are a gentleman of your word.

Sis.  And such a gentleman is to be trusted, Madam.

De.  He is an Infidell that will breake his word with a Ladie.

Sis.  I suspect, servant, you have many Mistresses.

De.  Not I, by this white hand.  I must acknowledge there are some Ladies in the Court in whose eyes and opinion I am favour’d.  I cannot obscure my selfe from their observation; but my heart with contempt of all other endeerement is only devoted to your service.

Sis.  Is’t not a charge to dresse your selfe with such variety of Ribbands every day?

De.  Is that your scruple?  Tis the Mode to express our fancie upon every occasion; to shew the turne and present state of our hope or feares in our Affection.  Your colours to an understanding Lover carry the interpretation of the hart as plainely as wee express our meaning one to another in Characters.  Shall I decipher my Colours to you now?  Here is Azure and Peach:  Azure is constant, and Peach is love; which signifies my constant Affection.
