_Viol_.
You, once again, were the undoubted heir.
_Jam_.
'Tis not to be deny'd; I was ice before, But now ye have fir'd me.--
_Viol_.
I'le add fuel to it, And by a nearer cut, do you but steer As I direct you, wee'l bring our Bark into The Port of happiness.
_Jam_.
How?
_Viol_.
By _Henriques_ death: But you'l say he's your Brother; in great fortunes (Which are epitomes of States and Kingdoms) The politick brook no Rivals.
_Jam_.
Excellent!
For sure I think out of a scrupulous fear, To feed in expectation, when I may (Dispensing but a little with my conscience) Come into full possession, would not argue One that desir'd to thrive.
_Viol_.
Now you speak like A man that knows the World.
_Jam_.
I needs must learn That have so good a Tutress: and what think you, (_Don Henrique_ and _Ascanio_ cut off) That none may live, that shall desire to trace us In our black paths, if that _Octavio_ His foster Father, and the sad _Jacinta_, (Faith pitie her, and free her from her Sorrows) Should fall companions with 'em? When we are red With murther, let us often bath in blood, The colour will be scarlet.
_Viol_.
And that's glorious, And will protect the fact.
_Jam_.
Suppose this done: (If undiscovered) we may get for mony, (As that you know buyes any thing in _Rome_) A dispensation.
_Viol_.
And be married?
_Jam_.
True.
Or if it be known, truss up our Gold and Jewels, And fly to some free State, and there with scorn--
_Viol_.
Laugh at the laws of _Spain_.
'Twere admirable.
_Jam_.
We shall beget rare children. I am rapt with The meer imagination.--
_Viol_.
Shall it be done?
_Jam_.
Shall? 'tis too tedious: furnish me with means To hire the instruments, and to your self Say it is done already: I will shew you, E're the Sun set, how much you have wrought upon me, Your province is only to use some means, To send my Brother to the Grove that's neighbour To the west Port of th' City; leave the rest To my own practice; I have talk'd too long, But now will doe: this kiss, with my Confession, To work a fell revenge: a man's a fool, If not instructed in a Womans School.
[_Exeunt_.
SCENA II.
_Enter_ Bartolus, Algazeirs, _and a_ Paratour.
_The Table set out and stools_.
_Bar_.
You are well enough disguiz'd, furnish the Table, Make no shew what ye are, till I discover: Not a soul knows ye here: be quick and diligent, These youths I have invited to a Breakfast, But what the Sawce will be, I am of opinion I shall take off the edges of their Appetites, And grease their gums for eating heartily This month or two, they have plaid their prizes with me, And with their several flurts they have lighted dangerously, But sure I shall be quit: I hear 'em coming.
Go off and wait the bringing in your service, And do it handsomely: you know where to have it.
_Enter_ Milanes, Arsenio, Lopez, Diego.
Welcom i' Faith.
_Ars_.
That's well said, honest Lawyer.
_Lop_.
Said like a neighbour.
_Bar_.
Welcom all: all over, And let's be merry.
