Leon:
I think I could
make shift Sir,
But I am bashfull.
Juan de Castro:
In the night?
Leon:
I know not,
Darkness indeed
may do some good upon me.
Juan de Castro:
Why art thou sent
to me to be my officer,
I, and commended
too, when thou darst not fight?
Leon:
There be more
officers of my opinion,
Or I am cozen’d
Sir, men that talk more too.
Juan de Castro:
How wilt thou scape a bullet?
Leon:
Why by chance,
178] They aim at honourable men, alas I am none Sir.
Juan de Castro:
This fellow has some doubts in’s talk that strike me,
[Enter Alonzo.]
He cannot be all fool: welcom Alonzo.
Alonzo:
What have you
got there, temperance into your company?
The spirit of
peace? we shall have wars
[Enter Cacafogo.]
By th’ounce
then. O here’s another pumpion,
Let him loose
for luck sake, the cram’d son
Of a stay’d
Usurer, Cacafogo, both their brains butter’d,
Cannot make two
spoonfulls.
Cacafogo:
My Father’s
dead: I am a man of war too,
Monyes, demesns;
I have ships at sea too,
Captains.
Juan de Castro:
Take heed o’th’ Hollanders, your ships may leak else.
Cacafogo:
I scorn the Hollanders, they are my drunkards.
Alonzo:
Put up your gold Sir, I’le borrow it else.
Cacafogo:
I am satisfied,
you shall not,
Come out, I know
thee, meet mine anger instantly.
Leon:
I never wrong’d ye.
Cacafogo:
Thou hast wrong’d
mine honor,
Thou look’dst
upon my Mistris thrice lasciviously,
I’le make
it good.
Juan de Castro:
Do not hea[t] your self, you will surfeit.
Cacafogo:
Thou wan’st my mony too, with a pair of base bones,
In whom there was no truth, for which I beat thee,
I beat thee much, now I will hurt thee dangerously.
This shall provoke thee.
[He strikes.
Alonzo:
You struck too low by a foot Sir.
Juan de Castro:
You must get a ladder when you
would beat
This fellow.
Leon:
I cannot chuse but kick again, pray pardon me.
Cacafogo:
Had’st thou not ask’d
my pardon, I had kill’d thee,
I leave thee as a thing despis’d, assoles
manus a vostra siniare
a Maistre.
[Exit Cacafogo.
Alonzo:
You have scap’d by miracle,
there is not in all Spain,
A spirit of more fury than this fire drake.
