What wonder look I on! I'll search above And suddenly attend you. Are you amaze e bring you to your selfe. Ha! what's the matter! My master's ware? We are undone! O strange! A Lady to turn roarer, and break glasses 'tis time to shut up shop then. You seem moved. If any Language of these Christian dogs Have called your anger on, in a frown show it And they are dead already. The offence Looks not so far. The foolish paltry fellow Showed me some trifles, and demanded of me For what I valued at so many aspers, A thousand Ducats. I confess he moved me; Yet I should wrong myself should such a beggar Receive least loss from me. Is it no more? No, I assure you. Bid him bring his bill Tomorrow to the Palace and inquire For one Donusa: That word gives him passage through all the guard; Say there he shall receive full satisfaction. Now when you please I wait you. We must not know them, let's shift off & vanish. The Swine's Pox overtake you, there's a curse For a Turk that eats no hog's flesh. Is she gone: Yes you may see her handiwork. No matter. Said she ought else? That you should wait upon her And there receive Court payment, and to pass The guards, she bids you only say you come To one Donusa. How! remove the wares Do it without reply. The sultan's niece! I have heard among the Turks for any Lady To show her face bare, argues love, or speaks Her deadly hatred. What should I fear, my fortune Is sunk so low: there cannot fall upon me Ought worth my shunning. I will run the hazard: She may be a means to free distressed Paulina. Or if offended, at the worst, to die Is a full period to calamity. In the name of wonder! Manto, what hath my Lady Done with herself since yesterday. I know not. Malicious men report we are all guided In our affections by a wandering Planet? But such a sudden change in such a person, May stand for an example to confirm Their false assertion. she's now pettish, froward, Music, discourse, observance tedious to her. She slept not the last night: and yet prevented The rising Sun in being up before him. Called for a costly Bath, then willed the rooms Should be perfumed; ransacked her Cabinets For her choice, and richest jewels: and appears now Like Cinthia in full glory, waited on By the fairest of the Stars. Can you guess the reason, Why the Aga of the janissaries, and he That guards the entrance of the inmost port Were called before her. They are both her creatures, And by her grace preferred, but I am ignorant To what purpose they were sent for. Here she comes. Full of sad thoughts: we must stand further off. What a frown was that!
