Fletcher, John
English drama
_Mir._ No, no, I only saw her: She was busie:
Now I go for that end: and mark her, Gentlemen,
If she appear not to ye one of the sweetest,
The handsomest, the fairest in behaviour:
We shall meet the two wenches there too, they come to visit her,
To wonder, as we do.
_Pin._ Then we shall meet 'em.
_Bel._ I had rather meet two Bears.
_Mir._ There you may take your leaves, dispatch that business,
And as ye find their humours.
_Pin._ Is your love there too?
_Mir._ No certain, she has no great heart to set out again.
This is the house, I'le usher ye.
_Bel._ I'le bless me,
And take a good heart if I can.
_Mir._ Come, nobly. [_Exeunt._
SCENE VI.
_Enter Factor_, Rosalure, Lelia, Oriana.
_Fac._ They are come in: Sit you two off, as strangers,
There Ladie: where's the boy? be readie, Sirrah,
And clear your Pipes, the Musick now: they enter. [_Musick_.
_Enter_ Mirabel, Pinac, _and_ Belleur.
_Pi._ What a state she keeps! how far off they sit from her!
How rich she is! I marry, this shews bravely.
_Bel._ She is a lusty wench: and may allure a good man,
But if she have a tongue, I'le not give two pence for her:
There sits my Fury: how I shake to see her!
_Fac._ Madam, this is the Gentleman.
_Mir._ How sweet she kisses!
She has a Spring dwells on her lips: a paradise:
This is the Legacie.
SONG.
_From the honor'd dead I bring_
_Thus his love and last offring._
_Take it nobly, 'tis your due,_
_From a friendship ever true._
_From a faith &c._
_Ori._ Most noble Sir,
This from my now dead Brother, as his love,
And gratefull memory of your great benefit:
From me my thanks, my wishes, and my service.
Till I am more acquainted I am silent,
Only I dare say this, you are truly noble.
_Mir._ What should I think?
_Pin._ Think ye have a handsom fortune,
Would I had such another.
_Ros._ Ye are well met Gentlemen,
We hear ye are for travel?
_Pin._ Ye hear true, Ladie,
And come to take our leaves.
_Lil._ We'll along with ye,
We see you are grown so witty by your Journey,
We cannot choose but step out too: This Lady
We mean to wait upon as far as _Italy_.
_Bel._ I'll travel into _Wales_, amongst the mountains;
I hope they cannot find me.
_Ros._ If you go further;
So good, and free society we hold ye,
We'll jog along too.
_Pin._ Are ye so valiant Lady?
_Lil._ And we'll be merry, Sir, and laugh.
_Pin._ It may be
We'll go by Sea.
_Lil._ Why 'tis the only voyage;
I love a Sea-voyage, and a blustring tempest;
And let all split.
_Pin._ This is a dainty Damosel:
I think 'twill tame ye: can ye ride post?
