Michael Perez:
Let ’em
be known and honest,
And do my service
to your niece.
Estifania:
I shall Sir,
But if I come
not at my hour, come thither,
That they may
give you thanks for your fair courtesy,
And pray ye be
brave for my sake.
Michael Perez:
I observe ye.
[Exeunt.
[Enter Juan de Castro, Sancho, and Cacafogo.]
Sanchio:
Thou art very brave.
Cacafogo:
I have reason, I have mony.
Sanchio:
Is mony reason?
Cacafogo:
Yes and rime too
Captain,
If ye have no
mony y’are an Asse.
Sanchio:
I thank ye.
Cacafogo:
Ye have manners, ever thank him that has mony.
Sanchio:
Wilt thou lend me any?
Cacafogo:
Not a farthing
Captain,
Captains are casual
things.
Sanchio:
Why so are all men, thou shalt have my bond.
Cacafogo:
Nor bonds nor
fetters Captain,
My mony is mine,
I make no doubt on’t.
Juan de Castro:
What dost thou do with it?
199]
Cacafogo:
Put it to pious
uses,
Buy Wine and Wenches,
and undo young Coxcombs
That would undo
me.
Juan de Castro:
Are those Hospitals?
Cacafogo:
I first provide
to fill my Hospitals
With Creatures
of mine own, that I know wretched,
And then I build:
those are more bound to pray for me:
Besides, I keep
th’ inheritance in my Name still.
Juan de Castro:
A provident Charity; are you for the Wars, Sir?
Cacafogo:
I am not poor
enough to be a Souldier,
Nor have I faith
enough to ward a Bullet;
This is no lining
for a trench, I take it.
Juan de Castro:
Ye have said wisely.
Cacafogo:
Had you but my
money,
You would swear
it Colonel, I had rather drill at home
A hundred thousand
Crowns, and with more honour,
Than exercise
ten thousand Fools with nothing,
A wise Man safely
feeds, Fools cut their fingers.
Sanchio:
A right State
Usurer; why dost thou not marry,
And live a reverend
Justice?
Cacafogo:
Is’t not
nobler to command a reverend Justice, than to be one?
And for a Wife,
what need I marry, Captain,
When every courteous
Fool that owes me money,
Owes me his Wife
too, to appease my fury?
Juan de Castro:
Wilt thou go to dinner with us?
