[Enter Servant.]
Servant:
Sir.
Leon:
Do you hear ho,
go carry this unto your Mistris Sir,
And let her see
how much the King has honour’d me,
Bid her be lusty,
she must make a Souldier.
[Exit.
[Enter Lorenzo.]
Lorenzo:
Sir,
Go take down all
the hangings,
And pack up all
my cloths, my plate and Jewels,
And all the furniture
that’s portable,
Sir when we lye
in garrison, ’tis necessary
We keep a handsom
port, for the Kings honour;
And do you hear,
let all your Ladies wardrobe
Be safely plac’d
in trunks, they must along too.
Lorenzo:
Whither must they goe Sir?
Leon:
To the wars, Lorenzo,
And you and all,
I will not leave a turn-spit,
That has one dram
of spleen against a Dutchman.
Lorenzo:
Why then St
Jaques hey, you have made us all Sir,
And if we leave
ye—does my Lady goe too?
Leon:
The stuff must
goe to morrow towards the sea Sir,
All, all must
goe.
Lorenzo:
Why Pedro,
Vasco, Dego,
Come help me,
come come boys, soldadocs, comrades,
We’l fley
these beer-bellied rogues, come away quickly.
[Exit.
Juan de Castro:
H’as taken
a brave way to save his honour,
And cross the
Duke, now I shall love him dearly,
By the life of
credit thou art a noble Gentleman.
[Enter Margarita, led by two Ladies.]
Leon:
Why how now wife,
what, sick at my preferment?
This is not kindly
done.
Margarita:
No sooner love
ye,
Love ye intirely
Sir, brought to consider
The goodness of
your mind and mine own duty,
But lose you instantly,
be divorc’d from ye?
216] This is a cruelty, I’le to the King
And tell him ’tis
unjust to part two souls,
Two minds so nearly
mixt.
Leon:
By no means sweet heart.
Margarita:
If he were married but four daies as I am.
Leon:
He would hang himself the fifth, or fly his Country.
Margarita:
He would make
it treason for that tongue that durst
But talk of war,
or any thing to vex him,
You shall not
goe.
Leon:
Indeed I must
sweet wife,
What shall I lose
the King for a few kisses?
We’l have
enough.
Margarita:
I’le to the Duke my cousin, he shall to th’ King.
Leon:
He did me this
great office,
I thank his grace
for’t, should I pray him now,
To undoe’t
again? fye ’twere a base discredit.
