Michael Perez:
No, no, I do but jest with ye.
Estifania:
To morrow friend I’le see you.
Clara:
I shall leave ye
Till then, and pray all may goe sweetly with
ye.
[Exit.
Estifania:
Why where’s this girle,
whose at the door?
[Knock.
Michael Perez:
Who knocks there?
Is’t for the King ye come, you knock so
boisterously?
Look to the door.
[Enter Maid.]
Maid:
My Lady, as I
live Mistris, my Ladie’s come,
She’s at
the door, I peept through, and I saw her,
And a stately
company of Ladies with her.
Estifania:
This was a week
too soon, but I must meet with her,
And set a new
wheel going, and a subtile one,
Must blind this
mighty Mars, or I am ruin’d.
Michael Perez:
What are they at door?
Estifania:
Such my Michael
As you may bless
the day they enter’d there,
Such for our good.
Michael Perez:
’Tis well.
Estifania:
Nay, ’twill
be better
If you will let
me but dispose the business,
And be a stranger
to it, and not disturb me,
What have I now
to do but to advance your fortune?
Michael Perez:
Doe, I dare trust
thee, I am asham’d I am angry,
I find thee a
wise young wife.
Estifania:
I’le wise
your worship
Before I leave
ye, pray ye walk by and say nothing,
Only salute them,
and leave the rest to me Sir,
190] I was born to make ye a man.

Michael Perez:
The Rogue speaks
heartily,
Her good will
colours in her cheeks, I am born to love her,
I must be gentler
to these tender natures,
A Souldiers rude
harsh words befit not Ladies,
Nor must we talk
to them as we talk to
Our Officers,
I’le give her way, for ’tis for me she
Works now, I am
husband, heir, and all she has.
[Enter Margarita, Estifania, Leon, Altea, and Ladies.]
Who are these,
what flanting things, a woman
Of rare presence!
excellent fair, this is too big
For a bawdy house,
too open seated too.
Estifania:
My Husband, Lady.
Margarita:
You have gain’d a proper man.
Michael Perez:
What e’re
I am, I am your servant Lady.
[kisses.
Estifania:
Sir, be rul’d
now,
And I shall make
ye rich, this is my cousin,
That Gentleman
dotes on her, even to death, see how he observes her.
