Estifania:
Green goose you
are now in sippets.
[Exeunt.
[Enter the Duke, Sanchio, Juan, Alonzo.]
Duke of Medina:
He shall not have
his will, I shall prevent him,
I have a toy here
that will turn the tide,
And suddenly,
and strangely, hear Don Juan,
214] Do you present it to him.
Juan de Castro:
I am commanded.
[Exit.
Duke of Medina:
A fellow founded
out of Charity,
And moulded to
the height contemn his maker,
Curb the free
hand that fram’d him? This must not be.
Sanchio:
That such an oyster
shell should hold a pearl,
And of so rare
a price in prison,
Was she made to
be the matter of her own undoing,
To let a slovenly
unweildy fellow,
Unruly and self
will’d, dispose her beauties?
We suffer all
Sir in this sad Eclipse,
She should shine
where she might show like her self,
An absolute sweetness,
to comfort those admire her,
And shed her beams
upon her friends.
We are gull’d
all,
And all the world
will grumble at your patience,
If she be ravish’t
thus.
Duke of Medina:
Ne’r fear
it Sanchio,
We’I have
her free again, and move at Court
In her clear orb:
but one sweet handsomeness,
To bless this
part of Spain, and have that slubber’d?
Alonzo:
’Tis every good mans cause, and we must stir in it.
Duke of Medina:
I’le warrant
he shall be glad to please us,
And glad to share
too, we shall hear anon
A new song from
him, let’s attend a little.
[Exeunt.
[Enter Leon, and Juan, with a commission.]
Leon:
Coronel, I am
bound to you for this nobleness,
I should have
been your officer, ’tis true Sir,
And a proud man
I should have been to have serv’d you,
’T has pleas’d
the King out of his boundless favours,
To make me your
companion, this commission
Gives me a troop
of horse.
Juan de Castro:
I do rejoyce at
it,
And am a glad
man we shall gain your company,
I am sure the
King knows you are newly married,
And out of that
respect gives you more time Sir.
Leon:
Within four daies
I am gone, so he commands me,
And ’tis
not mannerly for me to argue it,
The time grows
shorter still, are your goods ready?
215]
Juan de Castro:
They are aboard.
Leon:
Who waits there?
