Why, who is it? Your sister. Who? not Faustina? she told me so indeed, Her name was Faustina. Let me look upon her, As on the picture of all goodness, engraven By a celestial finger, shall wear out: A marble character. I knew her not, I am glad there is a scion of our stock. Can bear such fruit as this, so ripe in virtue. Where have you lived recluse? you were betrothed To one Fidelio; but crossed by your father. I have heard good reports of the Gentleman. I never knew you flatter any man Unto his face before. Unto his face? Where is he? My name's Fidelio. I am transported, ravished: give me leave Good gods, to entertain with reverence, So great a comfort. Let me first embrace you. Great joys, like griefs, are silent. Lose me now, And let me make you fast. Here join your hands, Which no age shall untie. Let happiness Distil from you, as the Arabian gums, To bless your issue. Now I hope, sweet Lady, The time has put a period to your vow. 'tis ended now, and you may take a comfort, That I could tie myself to such a law. For you may hope thereby, I shall observe you With no less strict obedience. I believe you. And for her dowry, I will treble it, Here Sanrle is come to be a witness to it. My Lord Philautus, if I may presume To congratulate your honour's safe return, I must confess, I do it with my heart, And all your friends long to participate Your happy presence. Thanks both to them and thee. Master Fidelio, no less to you. I see you happy in your Mistress favour: And that's as much, as I can wish to you. You have been always privy to my counsel Ask me no questions now, I shall resolve you When we come in. How fares our Camp at home, Trimalchio, and the rest? I have been busy, In projecting for them, they must all be married. I have seen the interlude of the leaguer: And we have played the justice, and the Constable: I will not prepossess you with the sport, But I will show you such a scene of laughter. Where is Ardelio Your servant Ardelio. 'tis the notorioust mixture of a villain, That ever yet was bred under the dunghill Of servitude. He has more whores at command, Than you have horses. He has stables for them, His private vaulting houses. Discharge him the house. Take his accounts and office, and dispose them. Ever your Lordship's true and faithful servant. When was my Father, and the Captain here? They are plotting abroad, I hope to see you shortly Honestly married, and then turn virtuous. 'tis the course of the world now, Margery. But yet I fear, I have got such a trick, When I was young, that I shall never leave it.
