If it be Your pleasure sir that I shall be unmoved, I will endeavour. You must swear to be Inexorable as you would prevent The greatest mischief to your friend, that fate Could throw upon him. Well, I will obey you. But how the governor will be answered, yet And 'tis material, is not considered. Leave that to me. I'll presently give order How you shall surprise her, be not frighted with Her exclamations. Be you constant o Your resolution I will no fail In what concerns my part. Be ever blessed for't. Not to be spoke with, say you? No. Nor you Admitted to have conference with her? Neither. His doors are fast locked up, and solitude Dwells round about 'em, no access allowed To friend or enemy, but— Nay be not moved sir, Let his passion work, and like a hot reined horse 'T will quickly tire itself. Or in his death Which for her sake till now I have forborn I will revenge the injury he hath done To my true and lawful love. How does your father The Governor relish it? Troth he never had Affection to the match: yet in his pity To me, he's gone in person to his house, Nor will he be denied, and if he find not Strong and fair reasons Malefort will hear from him In a kind he does not look for. In the mean time Pray you put on cheerful looks. Mine suit my fortune. O here's Montaigne. I never could have met you More opportunely. I'll not stale the jest By my relation: but if you will look on The malcontent Belgarde, newly rigged up With the train that follows him, 't will be an object Worthy of your noting. Look you the Comedy Make good the Prologue, or the scorn will dwell Upon yourself. I'll hazard that, observe now; Nay, Captain, glorious Captain: Fall back Rascals, Do you make an Owl of me? this day I will Receive no more Petitions, Here are bills of all occasions, and all fi! If this be the pleasure of a rich suit, would I were Again in my buff jerkin, or my armour, Than I walked securely by my creditor's noses, And not a dog marked me, every officer shunned me, And not one lousy prison would receive me; But now, as the Ballad says, I am turned gallant: There does not live that thing I owe a souse to, But does torment me, a faithful Cobbler told me With his awl in his hand, I was behind hand with him For setting me upright, and bade me look to myself. A Sempstress too, that traded but in socks, Swore she would set a Sergeant on my back For a borrowed shirt: my pay and the benevolence, The Governor and the States bestowed upon me, The city cormorants, my money-mongers, Have swallowed down already, they were sums, I grant, but that I should be such a fool Against my oath, being a cashiered Captain, To pay debts, though grown up to one and twenty, Deserves more reprehension, in my judgement, Than a shopkeeper, or a Lawyer that lends money, In a long dead vacation.
