Michael Perez:
Mine was i’th’
clipse, and had a Cloud drawn over it.
But I believe
well, and I hope ’tis handsome,
She had a hand
would stir a holy Hermite.
Juan de Castro:
You know none of ’em?
Michael Perez:
No.
Juan de Castro:
Then I do, Captain,
174] But I’ll say nothing till I see the proof
on’t,
Sit close Don
Perez, or your Worship’s caught.
I fear a Flye.
Michael Perez:
Were those she brought Love-Letters?
Juan de Castro:
A Packet to a
Kinsman now in Flanders,
Yours was very
modest methought.
Michael Perez:
Some young unmanag’d
thing,
But I may live
to see—
Juan de Castro:
’Tis worth
experience,
Let’s walk
abroad and view our Companies.
[Exeunt.
[Enter Sanchio, and Alonzo.]
Sanchio:
What, are you for the Wars, Alonzo?
Alonzo:
It may be I,
It may be no,
e’n as the humour takes me.
If I find peace
amongst the female Creatures,
And easie entertainment,
I’ll stay at home,
I am not so far
obliged yet to long Marches
And mouldy Biskets,
to run mad for Honour,
When you are all
gone I have my choice before me.
Sanchio:
Of which Hospital
thou wilt sweat in; wilt thou
Never leave whoring?
Alonzo:
There is less
danger in’t than gunning, Sanchio,
Though we be shot
sometimes, the shot’s not mortal,
Besides, it breaks
no limbs.
Sanchio:
But it disables
’em,
Dost thou see
how thou pull’st thy legs after thee, as they
Hung by points.
Alonzo:
Better to pull
’em thus than walk on wooden ones,
Serve bravely
for a Billet to support me.
Sanchio:
Fye, fye, ’tis base.
Alonzo:
Dost thou count
it base to suffer?
Suffer abundantly?
’tis the Crown of Honour;
You think it nothing
to lie twenty days
Under a Surgeons
hands that has no mercy.
Sanchio:
As thou hast done
I am sure, but I perceive now
Why you desire
to stay, the orient Heiress,
The Margarita,
Sir,
Alonzo:
I would I had her.
Sanchio:
They say she will marry.
175]
Alonzo:
I think she will.
Sanchio:
And marry suddenly,
as report goes too,
She fears her
Youth will not hold out, Alonzo.
Alonzo:
I would I had the sheathing on’t.
