Erota:
I could hang this
fellow now: by whom
Are you supported,
that you dare do this?
Have you not example
here in a Prince
Transcending you
in all things, yet bears himself
As doth become
a man had seen my beautie?
Back to your Country,
and your Curtizans,
Where you may
be admired for your wealth,
Which being consum’d,
may be a means to gain you
The opinion of
some wit. Here’s nothing
To be got but
scorn, and loss of time.
Gonzalo:
Which are things I delight in.
Erota:
Antinous follow me.
[Exit.
Gonzalo:
She is vext to the soul.
Mochingo:
Let her be vext,
’tis fit she should be so:
Give me thy hand
Gonzalo, thou art in our favour,
For we do love
to cherish lofty spirits,
Such as percusse
the Earth, and bound
With an erected
countenance to the clouds.
Gonzalo:
’S-foot, what thing is this?
Mochingo:
I do love fire-works,
because they mount:
An Exhalation
I profess to adore,
Beyond a fixed
star, ’tis more illustrious,
As every thing
rais’d out of smoak is so:
Their vertue is
in action: what do you think of me?
Gonzalo:
Troth Sir,
261] You are beyond my ghess, I know you not.
Mochingo:
Do you know your self?
Gonzalo:
Yes Sir.
Mochingo:
Why you and I
are one: I am proud, and
Very proud too,
that I must tell you; I saw
It did become
you, cousin Gonzalo, prethee
Let it be so.
Gonzalo:
Let it be so good cousin.
Mochingo:
I am no great ones fool.
Gonzalo:
I hope so, for alliance sake.
Mochingo:
Yet I do serve
the Mighty, Monstrous, and Magnanimous
Invincible Erota.
Gonzalo:
O good cousin, now I have you: I’le meet you in your Coat.
Mochingo:
Coat? I have
my horse-mans coat I must confess
Lin’d through
with Velvet, and a Scarlet out-side;
If you’ll
meet me in’t, I’le send for’t;
And cousin you
shall see me with much comfort,
For it is both
a new one, and a right one,
It did not come
collateral.
Gonzalo:
Adieu good cousin; at this present I have some business.
Mochingo:
Farewel, excellent cousin.
