Servant:
Sir, there be
two Gentlewomen attend to speak
With you.
Juan de Castro:
Wait on ’em in.
Michael Perez:
Are they two handsome Women?
Servant:
They seem so, very handsom, but they are vail’d, Sir.
Michael Perez:
Thou put’st
sugar in my mouth, how it melts with me!
I love a sweet
young Wench.
Juan de Castro:
Wait on them in
I say.
[Exit
Servant.
Michael Perez:
Don Juan.
Juan de Castro:
How you itch,
Michael! how you burnish!
Will not this
Souldiers heat out of your bones yet,
Do your Eyes glow
now?
Michael Perez:
There be two.
Juan de Castro:
Say honest, what shame have you then?
Michael Perez:
I would fain see
that,
I have been in
the Indies twice, and have seen strange things,
But two honest
Women;—one I read of once.
Juan de Castro:
Prithee be modest.
Michael Perez:
I’ll be any thing.
[Enter Servant, Donna Clara, and Estifania vail’d.]
Juan de Castro:
You are welcome Ladies.
Michael Perez:
Both hooded, I
like ’em well though,
172] They come not for advice in Law sure hither;
May be they would
learn to raise the Pike,
I am for ’em:
they are very modest, ’tis a fine Preludium.
Juan de Castro:
With me, or with
this Gentleman,
Would you speak,
Lady?
Clara:
With you, Sir, as I guess, Juan de Castro.
Michael Perez:
Her Curtain opens, she is a pretty Gentlewoman.
Juan de Castro:
I am the Man,
and shall be bound to Fortune,
I may do any service
to your Beauties.
Clara:
Captain, I hear
you are marching down to Flanders,
To serve the Catholick
King.
Juan de Castro:
I am sweet Lady.
Clara:
I have a Kinsman, and a noble Friend, Imploy’d in those Wars, may be, Sir, you know him, Don Campusano Captain of Carbines, To whom I would request your Nobleness, To give this poor Remembrance.
[A Letter.
Juan de Castro:
I shall do it,
I know the Gentleman, a most worthy Captain.
Clara:
Something in private.
Juan de Castro:
Step aside: I’ll serve
thee.
[Ex.
Juan, and Clara.
Michael Perez:
Prithee let me see thy face.
