THE COMEDY-BALLET OF GuEGuENCE.
(The Alguacil and Governor enter, dancing.)
_Alg._ I pray God to protect you, Governor Tastuanes.
_Gov._ I pray God to prosper you, my son, Captain Chief Alguacil; are you well?
_Alg._ At your service, Governor Tastuanes.
(They dance around the stage.)
_Alg._ I pray God to protect you, Governor Tastuanes.
_Gov._ I pray God to prosper you, my son, Captain Chief Alguacil: my son, suspend in the quarters of the leading men the music, dances, songs, ballets, and such pleasant matters of amusement to the Royal Court. It is a great shame that we have no golden table, no embroidered table-cloth, no golden inkstand, no pen of gold, no golden sand-box, not even white paper, and such like suitable things, for a session of the Royal Court.
(They dance around the stage.)
_Alg._ I pray God to protect you, Governor Tastuanes.
_Gov._ I pray God to prosper you, my son, Captain Chief Alguacil.

_Alg._ Something to amuse the Royal Court. It is a great shame that we have no golden table, no embroidered table-cloth, no golden inkstand, no pen of gold, no golden sand-box, not even white paper, and such like suitable things, for a session of the Royal Court.
_Gov._ My son, Captain Chief Alguacil, suspend in the quarters of the leading men the music, dances, songs, ballets, and such matters, unless the patrol gives a permit to enter my royal province [for that purpose].
_Alg._ Yours to command, Governor Tastuanes. I pray God to protect you. The leading men [shall give no] music, dances, songs, ballets, and such things, without [the permission of] the patrol of Governor Tastuanes.
(The patrol is sounded and they dance.)
_Alg._ Governor Tastuanes, I am here, as is proper, but the patrol is not; their girdles are in rags and tatters, and their hats smashed in from their frays, and we have not a single saddle cloth or red cloak better, perhaps, than that good-for-nothing Gueguence, Governor Tastuanes.
_Gov._ My son, Captain Chief Alguacil, you must bring that pimp, that impudent fellow, that charlatan, before the Royal Court.
_Alg._ Perhaps that pimp and charlatan won't come with me to the Royal Court.
