I've sent for Roseclap, And Captain Quartfield to be here. I have Put Salewit into orders, he's inducted Into the French Church, you must all have parts; Prithee speak out of Clouds. By this good light 'twere Justice now to let you both die simple, For leaving us so scurvily. We were Sent for in haste by th' Benchers, to contribute To one of'em that's Reader. Come with me, I'll tell you then. But first I'll show you a sight Much stranger than the Fish. Madam, here's Barneswright And an old Merchant do desire access. Bid 'em come in. Gentlemen, fall off. If we be seen the plot is spoilt. Sister, Now look you do your part well. I am perfect. MAdam, this is the Gentleman I mentioned, I've brought him here, according to my function To give you both an interview; if you Be ready, the Church and Priest are. Is this, Sir, The wealthy Merchant? Madam, this is He That if you'll wear the price of Baronies, Or live at Cleopatra's rate can keep you. Come you a Suitor, Sir, to me? Yes Lady, I did employ my speaker there, who hath I hope informed you with my purpose. Surely, Your speaker then hath erred; I understood Him for my woman, if you can like her, Sir, It being for aught I hear, all one to you, I've wooed her for you. But for myself, could you Endow me with the stream that ebbs and flows In waves of gold, I hope you do not think I'd so much stain my birth as to be bought To match into a Company. Sir, plainly, I'm matched already. Baneswright, did not you Tell me she'd have me? Faith, Sir, I have ears That might deceive me, but I did dream waking If she were not the party. Madam, pray you One word in private. I'll prevent you; 'tis true, My Brother laid the Scene for me, but since W'have changed the plot, and 'tis contrived, my woman Shall undertake my part. I am instructed. I was mistaken, Sir, indeed the Lady Spoke to me for her Gentlewoman. How Do you affect her, Sir? you see she is As handsome as her Lady, and her birth Not being so high she will more size with you. I say, I like her best. Her Lady has Too much great house in her. 'tis right, this you May govern as you list. I'll motion't: Lady, Pray pardon our mistake, indeed our Errand Was chiefly to your Gentlewoman. Sir, She's one whose fortune I so much intend, And yours, Sir, are so fair, that though there be Much disproportion in your age, yet I Will overrule her, and she shall refer herself to be disposed by me. You much Oblige me, Madam. Dorcas, this is the Merchant I have provided for you, he is old, But he has that will make him young, much Gold.
