That were a treachery! Upon my word, Be confident. Return unto your master, My Lady Precedent sits this afternoon, Has ta'en the ring, commends her services Unto your Lady-duchess. You may say She's a civil Lady, and does give her All her respects, already: Bade you, tell her She lives, but to receive her wished commandments, And have the honour here to kiss her hands: For which she'll stay this hour yet. Hasten you Your Prince, away. And Sir, you will take care Th' excuse be perfect? You confess your fears. Too much. The shame is more, I'll quit you of either. A Pox vpo' referring to Commissioners, I had rather hear that it were passed the seals: Your Courtiers move so Snail-like i' your Business. Would I had not begun wi' you. We must move, Madam, in order, by degrees: not jump. Why, there was Sr. Iohn Money-man could jump A Business quickly. True, he had great friends, But, because some, sweet Madam, can leap ditches, We must not all shun to go over bridges. The harder parts, I make account are done: Now, 'tis referred. You are infinitely bound Unto the Ladies, they ha' so cried it up! Do they like it than? They ha' sent the Spanish-Lady, To gratulate with you— I must sand 'em thanks And some remembrances. That you must, and visit 'hem. Where's Ambler? Lost, to day, we cannot hear of him. Not Madam? Not in good faith. They say he lay not At home, to night. And here has fallen a Business Between your Cousin, and Master Manly, has Unquieted us all. So I hear, Madam. Pray you how was it? Troth, it but appears Ill o' your Kinsman's part. You may have heard, That Manly is a suitor to me, I doubt not: I guessed it, Madam. And it seems, he trusted Your Cousin to let fall some fair reports Of him unto me. Which he did! So far From it, as he came in, and took him railing Against him. How! And what said Manly to him? Enough, I do assure you: and with that scorn Of him, and the injury, as I do wonder How Euerill bore it! But that guilt undoes Many men's valours Here comes Manly. Madame, I'll take my leave— You sha' not go, i' faith. I'll ha' you stay, and see this Spanish miracle, Of our English Lady. Let me pray your Ladyship, Lay your commands on me, some other time. Now, I protest: and I will have all pieced, And friends again. It will be but ill soldered! You are too much affected with it. I cannot Madam, but think on't for th' injustice. Sir, His kinsman here is sorry. Not I, Madam, I am no kin to him, we but call Cousins, And if we were, Sir, I have no relation Unto his crimes.

That were a treachery! Vpon my word, Be confident. Returne vnto your maſter, My Lady Preſident ſits this after-noone, Ha's tane the ring, commends her ſeruices Vnto your Lady-Dutcheſſe. You may ſay She's a ciuill Lady, and do's giue her All her reſpects, already: Bad you, tell her She liues, but to receiue her wiſh'd commandements, And haue the honor here to kiſſe her hands: For which ſhee'll ſtay this houre yet. Haſten you Your Prince, away. And Sir, you will take care Th' excuſe be perfect? You confeſſe your feares. Too much. The ſhame is more, I'll quit you of either. A Pox vpo' referring to Commiſsioners, I' had rather heare that it were paſt the ſeales: Your Courtiers moue ſo Snaile-like i' your Buſineſſe. Wuld I had not begun wi' you. We muſt moue, Madame, in order, by degrees: not iump. Why, there was Sr. Iohn Monie-man could iump A Buſineſſe quickely. True, hee had great friends, But, becauſe ſome, ſweete Madame, can leape ditches, Wee muſt not all ſhunne to goe ouer bridges. The harder parts, I make account are done: Now, 'tis referr'd. You are infinitly bound Vnto the Ladies, they ha' ſo cri'd it vp! Doe they like it then? They ha' ſent the Spaniſh-Lady, To gratulate with you— I muſt ſend 'hem thankes And ſome remembrances. That you muſt, and viſit 'hem. Where's Ambler? Loſt, to day, we cannot heare of him. Not Madam? No in good faith. They ſay he lay not At home, to night. And here has fall'n a Buſineſſe Betweene your Couſin, and Maſter Manly, has Vnquieted vs all. So I heare, Madame. Pray you how was it? Troth, it but appeares Ill o' your Kinſmans part. You may haue heard, That Manly is a ſutor to me, I doubt not: I gueſs'd it, Madame. And it ſeemes, he truſted Your Couſin to let fall ſome faire reports Of him vnto mee. Which he did! So farre From it, as hee came in, and tooke him rayling Againſt him. How! And what ſaid Manly to him? Inough, I doe aſſure you: and with that ſcorne Of him, and the iniury, as I doe wonder How Euerill bore it! But that guilt vndoe's Many mens valors Here comes Manly. Madame, I'll take my leaue— You ſha' not goe, i' faith. I'll ha' you ſtay, and ſee this Spaniſh miracle, Of our Engliſh Ladie. Let me pray your Ladiſhip, Lay your commands on me, ſome other time. Now, I proteſt: and I will haue all piec'd, And friends againe. It will be but ill ſolder'd! You are too much affected with it. I cannot Madame, but thinke on't for th' iniuſtice. Sir, His kinſman here is ſorry. Not I, Madam, I am no kin to him, wee but call Couſins, And if wee were, Sir, I haue no relation Vnto his crimes.
