She checks my rudeness that so openly I seem to court her, and in presence too Of some that have engaged themselves perhaps already. Come let us in, my house spreads to receive you, Which you may call your own, I'll lead the way. Please you walk Sir. It will become me thus to wait on you. Does not the fool ride us both? What fool? both, whom? That fool, both us, we are but horses and may Walk one another for aught I see before the door, when he Is alight and entered, I do not relish that same Novice, he were not best gull me; hark you Don Valasco, what shall's do? Do, why? This Antonio is a suitor to one of 'em. I fear him not. I do not fear him neither, I dare fight with him, and He were ten Antonio's, but the Ladies Don, the Ladies. Berinthia, to whom I pay my love devotions, in my ear Seemed not to welcome him, your Lady did. ay but for all that he had most mind to your mistris, And I do not see but if he pursue it, There is a possibility to scale the fort, ladies' Minds may alter, by your favour, I have less Cause to fear o'th' two; if he love not Catalina My game is free, and I may have a course in Her Park the more easily. 'tis true, he preferred service to Berinthia, And what is she then to resist the vows Antonio if he love, dare heap upon her?

And yet now I think on't, he was very saucy With my love to support her arm, which she Accepted too familiarly, and she should But love him, it were as bad for me, for though he care Not for her, I am sure she will never abide me after it, By this hilts I must kill him, there's no remedy, I cannot help it. I'll know my destiny. And I my fate but here he comes. The strangest resolution of a father I ever heard, I was covetous To acquaint him with my wishes, prayed his leave I might be servant to Berinthia, But thus he briefly answered, until His eldest daughter were disposed in marriage His youngest must not love, and therefore wished me Unless I could place Catalina here, Leave off soliciting, yet I was welcome, u fed on nothing but Berinthia, From whose fair eyes love threw a thousand flames Antonio's heart, her cheeks bewraying As many amorous blushings, which broke out Like a forced lightning from a troubled cloud, Discovering a restraint, as if within She were at conflict, which her colour only Took liberty to speak, but soon fell back, And as it were checked by silence.
