+Don J.+ Farther put-off would be of little use, Since first or last he must be satisfied, Being come hither upon such an errand. The sooner now we see what 'tis he drives at, The sooner we shall take from thence our measures; I'll therefore go out to him, and be sure To entertain him still so near the door, That you may hear what passes. +Don F.+ I shall be attentive, and expect the issue With much impatience. [_Exit +Don Julio+._ _Scene changes to +Don Julio's+ antechamber. Enter +Don Pedro+ and his Servant, and +Don Julio+ and a Page._ +Don P.+ My business, sir, is to Don Julio Rocca; [_Addressing himself to +Don Julio+._ If you be he, I shall desire the favour Of some few words with you in private. +Don J.+ Sir, I am he to serve you. Page, set chairs. [_He points to the Page, and makes him set the chairs by the door where +Don Fernando+ is, and then the Page and +Don Pedro's+ man retire._ [_They sit down._ +Don P.+ Having not the honour to be known t' you, sir, 'Tis fit this letter make my introduction: 'Tis from the Duke of Medina. [_He gives +Don Julio+ the letter, which he receives with great respect; and going a little aside, reads it._ "Don Pedro de Mendoça, my kinsman and most particular friend, goes to Valencia in pursuit of one who hath highly injured his family, whose righting I am so much concerned in, as, could it have been done without too much publication of the thing, I would have accompanied him myself, but my presence will be needless in a place where you have power: I do therefore conjure you, and expect from your regard and kindness to me, that you employ it thoroughly in his behalf, and what service you shall do him, put it upon my account, whom you shall always find "Your most affectionate cousin to serve you, +The Duke of Medina+." +Don J.+ [_giving the letter to +Don Pedro+, and he taking it._] Sir, it is fit you see how heartily The Duke hath recommended your concernments, Whose will's a law to me. [_+Don Pedro+ having read it, and restoring it._ +Don P.+ He told me, indeed, how very sure he was Of your friendship and dependence. I am proud to find he makes So obliging use of it to my advantage. +Don J.+ I do avow myself his creature, sir; Therefore the sooner you shall let me know In what I may be useful t' you, the sooner You'll see my readiness to serve you.
